The following/
sunarize the Warsaw Government's views on the international situation.
Polish Attitude Toward the USSR
1. Defining the attitude of the Polish people toward the USSR, Soviet Ambassador
Lebediev saids "In spite of comprehension among the Polish people of the German
danger and the obviousness of the need for co-operation with the USSR all prefer
a hermetic border between Poland and the USSR."
2. Marshal Rokoasovsky advised the Central Committee of the PPR as follow it, "Polish
eyes will be opened only by the internal transformation and by the dii sition
of external forces. They will then cease to delude themselves that ant Anglo.
Saxon intervention will come, and they will then understand that a trv- under-
standing with the Soviet Union will bring them great advantages. Bank,?rpts and
immigrants are asking futilely for intervention and instigating rebellc.on in the
country, The Slav-nation bloc is becoming a reality. The Slav bloc c?..~:xoept is
excellent and reinforces Poland?s position in the world and among its -slav
neighbors. It gives each state a guarantee of defense in case of weetr:n
aggression. Besides, Poland has no other choice,, nor any other way. mciroled
by Soviet influence and its armed forces,. Poland cannot make any atten!_.-?ts to
disregard the USSR or take any action against it. Only irresponsible politicians
can spoil the relationship between the two countries. Poland should t+ :te an
example from Czechoslovakia: The Czechs have nothing in them of the r:,..,,mntice
and heroes, and this is a great advantage to that country. The Czechs .re not
'afraid of co-operation with the USSR. On the contrary they underline .t at
every opportunity. The Slovaks are inimical toward the USSR, having bees
excited by a hope of independence and by a parochial agitator--Father
But even they, after a certain time, will arrive at the conviction that, it is
beat for them, if for no other reason than economy, to stick to the Soviet Union."

6. As in prewar days the Czechs are doing everything to outdistance Poland in gaining
favor with the USSR and US. They have suooeedod with the A r;lo-Saxon but their
chances with the USSR are smaller. The Soviet Union considers the Poles a much
worthier partner than the Czechs.
The Comintern

12.? Stress is being; laid.chiefly on revolutionary techniques, intellij euce work,
litiotal subversion, and or anizatiora of strikes, demmo. , xO,'+.ens and taanif3s-
tations of all kinds, as well as on conspiratorial work.
13. The Central Committee of the t1KP-b is studying suggestions for the further
division of certain states after some stabilization has taken place. These
proposals aim to facilitate Soviet domination by weakenint, the states. Czech-
bslovakia, for example, would be split into two republics, the C:.ech and Slovaks
Yugoslavia would form three, the Sorbian. Croatian and :tacedoniaan, 1Iu. ?ar ary,
and Rumania after the ouster of King Michael, would be reduced by the catablishe-
ment of an autonomous stato, the Transylvanian Republic, and tho jianat, which
would be divided into national cantons. The Silesian territory also would be
made autonomous, in view of econoinie'interest. The latter is a sop to the
German Communists who have demanded Silesia and East ?russia.
14. ;,Iolotov believes these proposals are good but that their activation, or even
publication, now would be a brave error.
15. The lc.P-b has Issued orders for all sections of the Comintern to infiltrate
and dominate trade unions and workers' parties. It hopes thereby to achieve
decisive influence and to be able to organize mass strikes which will completely
disorganize the economic life of its capitalist adversaries.
