PAGE TWELVE THE JOURNAL-STANDARD, FREEPORT. ILL. FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1947 NoiesToWarsaw Too Late To Aid Anti-Communists BY J. M. ROBERTS, JK.

AP Foreign Affairs Analyst American nnd British representations to Warsaw over the Polish election set-up serve merely to help keep the record straight. It is too late been too late ever since the Moscow-dominated government was established. Regardless of what the rules nnd regulations for voting might be, the Poles have been given some very concrete lessons In how to vote. Thousands hnve been jailed on various excuses stemming from the fact they have been too overt In support of Vice Premier Mikoln- Jczyk's Polish Peasant party. Others have been "detained" by authorities who sought to convince them they were "mistaken" In signing nominating petitions.

ORDER NOW WM. FINK STATE 468 We can only surmise what "persuasive" methods have been used, over nnd above the normal threats of loss of Jobs, etc. It apparently worked well enough, however, to give the government an excuse for voiding opposition tickets In 10 of the country's 52 districts after a sufficient number hnd recognized their "mistake" and withdrawn their signatures. The government also has organized militia whose duty at the polls will be similar to thosfi of the poll-watchers put out by some political machines in the Untied States. The Polish watchers, however.

have some considerable advantages. nicy nre firmed, militarily trained, and 'openly represent (he In the face of all this with which wo hnve become familiar through watching eastern European elections since the war. the Polish Penwnt party has decided not to boycott, thn election, preferring to make thn Lest showing possible. Voters Reaction Will Bfi Wnlrliert Whether a boycott, as some feared, would have hastened the trend toward civil war In Poland Is a question. But the atmosphere! among the 2,500,000 volers in the 10 districts loft, without a choice of tickets will be watched closely.

So will the reaction among other millions who will be frustrated at the polls Jan. 19 by fear, technicalities nnd actual overt acts. What might happen if several million peasants and the armed underground decided to take tilings Into their own hands Is hard to contemplate, especially if it resulted In Russian military nld for the Warsaw satellites. When the U. S.

and Britain protested a similar election situation In Hungary some months ago, Russia replied that we were seeking to Interfere In Hungarian Internal nf- felrs. Now the Russians sny the only Irregularities In Poland are committed by "rightwing terrorists," call the election set-up "perfectly democratic," and so kiss off the suggestion that the big three keep their agreement that Europe's people shall live under governments of their own free choice. To Poles this choice must seem restricted to: A vote for a foreign-sponsored government whose continuation could bring econdmic sanctions by the western powers and a resultant shortening of rations. A vote for the Polish Peasant party, almost certainly to be followed by penalties from Warsaw, and quite possibly by a crack over the head.
