POLES SEEK COMMON GROUND WITH REDS
LONDON, June 23 (Reuter).-"The Polish-Russian question which might have shadowed the outlook of many friends of ours in the west and has caused noxious friction and clashes, I believe may disappear from international politics,"
This statement was made by the Polish Prime Minister, General Sikorski, in a declaration approved by the Polish Cabinet.
This followed a meeting of the Polish Cabinet to discuss the German attack on Russia.
The declaration which was broad- casi from London to Poland, also de- clares that Germany, the foremost foe of Poland, has torn asunder an 100 alliance which has so long been source of our greatest misfortunes. Ey striking at Russia, they ឥre undertaking at great risk, a task of which the issue is uncertain and must be weakening
