RED ARMY’S ENTRY
POLISH ATTITUDE TOWARDS RUSSIANS INSTRUCTIONS TO UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT. MANY ISSUES INVOLVED. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, January 5. The Polish Government, London, has instructed the underground movement in Poland not to oppose the entry of the Red Army into Poland. Prominent Poles in London, however, pointed out that Russia’s entry into ; Poland and the powerful Polish underground movements could best be harmonised if official diplomatic relations between Poland and Russia were restored. The Polish Government is expected to issue a public statement shortly calling on Poles to rise up for a final settlement with the enemy. The Polish Cabinet held a three-hour meeting yesterday, without reaching an agreement on the form of the statement. Britain and the United States are believed to have urgently counselled the Poles to issue, emphatic instructions to the Polish underground movement to aid the Red Army. According to the London correspondent of the New York newspaper “P.M.,” the Polish Government has drafted a manifesto requesting the establishment of a sovereign Polish government in sectors of Poland as and when they are liberated.
