have recieved the following report which you may find of interest:
     1.  The Polish Premier, Stanislaw Mikolajczyk, a representative Polish Peasant from
Western Poland, formerly Chairman of the Agricultural Cooperative movmement in Posnania, is

     He has made a good impression on British Cabinet Ministers, including Mr. Eden, and on
other Government officials as well as in British Parliamentary and press circles.  He is considered
a calm and straightforward statesman, reliable and of sound judgement.  He has convinved the
British that he sincerely desires an understanding with Soviet Russia within the framework of
United Nations unity, with the purpose of giving to the Polish Underground Army and the Polish
people the possibility of effectively pursuing their fight on Polish territory against the common
enemy, Germany.
