nounced in the Commons today that Britain - had decided to ratify the Anglo-Polish finan- cial agreement, restoring to Poland £4,000,000 of the £7,000,000 in gold brought to London by the Polish exile Government during the war, addition, it was learned another £2,000,000 of the gold would be returned to Warsaw to en- able the Poles to purchase goods in Britain under the Anglo-Polish trade agreement ex- pected to be signed by the end of the month.
