EX-PATRIATE POLES
Snt,—Mr. Tatarynowicz's letter will surely make us realise that it is time for the British people to put an end to the scandalous treatment of the Poles in this country by the Communist minority which has secured control of certain trade unions. Loyal Poles who have never wavered in their fight for their country's and our own 'freedom are, for political reasons, being denied the right to live. I myself, as a member of an Anglo-Polish Society, have helped a Pole who carried a Russian death- warrant in his pocket, and I have met Polish professors and teachers who know that if they return to Poland they will be " liquidated " because they are educated and intelligent and believe in freedom. The trade union Communists are willing to condemn these good allies of ours to death. Are we? If not, let powers be taken to compel trade unions to decide these matters, not by Communist minorities in control, but by ballot vote of all members. The decent, kindly, friendly and humane rank-and-file trade unionists understand the meaning of the word loyalty, and the spirit of British tolerance is still in them.—Yours faithfully,
PUBLIC SERVANT.
