A POLISH QUERY
SIR,—I have been in opposition against our Polish Government as many of our young people. And first for the Russian-Polish agreement in 1941 which let starving in Russia more as one million of our population deported there against any international and human law. I have met some men and women lucky enough to go out of Russia, have you? Two years in Germany and two years in occupied Europe, what, I thought, is the worst a man can imagine, it is a lovely time against one year in Russia. It seems not possible—and it is not—to be alive in such conditions for many years. Why do you not write about it? As a journalist you must know better as I do what Katyn was? Why are you silent about it? And why do you ask us to consent that it all should repeat once more, as it does just now? Are you serving the truth and the right and the law or interests of the whole? If so, I excuse myself very much, but you have sometimes given me such impression, about other things.
I understand that it all may look for you as your best way to choose now. It seems to me that it is not right—because there is no limit to some appetites, and you will be the first to pay after us. But let me say that you are right. Then cannot you say the truth—that you want peace for some years—so worst for your children—if you have some—who will fall on the battlefield in the next war ; for which you are making arrange- ments as you have done in the last one? And I think that the next time you will have really all Europe—fighting now for you—against. Some weeks ago I have reached England corning from the Continent, and I know that if you will not keep your word for which our blood is given without counting, you have lost your face for ever. But I like enough of your Commonwealth not to believe it, and hope that your policy is reaching far enough to see clear.—Yours sincerely, BOHDAN ZOSINSKI.
