MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Current Foreim Develouments
No News on Polish Conversations. No further news
hed been received by this morning on the negotiations
of the three Polish groups now in Moscow. The second
day of the trinl of the 16 Polish leaders made it in-
creasingly evident that the mein Soviet objective is
to fix responsibility on the London Poles for an anti-
Soviet policy by the Home Army and underground Govern-
ment, as woll as for all subversivo activities in Poland
against the Red Army and the USSR. The prosecution is
also suggesting that the London Poles deliberately pro-
vided false information about Soviet conduct in Poland
in order to arouse British indignation and induce the
British Government to intervene.
A British official has observed that the course of
the trial and its outcome would doubtless follow the
course and outcome of the negotiations. The trial will
probably last as long P.B the talks; if the latter end
pretty much to Soviet liking the sentences in the former
may be light. If the Soviets do not like the result of
the talks, the sentences will doubtless be severe. Thus
the trials acts as a sword of Democles poised over the
heads of the conferses.
