Poland: Warsaw's participation in the occupa-
tion of Czechoslovakia has deepened factional splits
in the Polish party.
25X1
The main party daily, Tryb una Ludu, has reported
that another central committee meeting took place on
29 August to deal with "current international prob-
lems." Gomulka presumably was trying to rally the
Polish leadership to support the intervention. Spy-
chalski, Loga-Sowinski, Moczar, and Gierek were not
listed among those politburo members attending. The
absence of Spychalski and Loga-Sowinski suggests they
may be moving away from their previously strong sup-
port for Gomulka, although it would not necessarily
mean their alignment with Moczar.
Opposition to the move against Czechoslovakia
exists in other Eastern European states which took
part in it, but it appears to be strongest in Poland.
Middle-level regime leaders are seriously concerned
over the impact of the intervention on Poland's po-
litical and trade relations with the non-Communist
world.
Gomulka's nationalistic opponents probably will
be much more cautious in the wake of Moscow's display
of force in Czechoslovakia. For the time being, this
will make Gomulka's position more secure, but only
at the cost of further isolating him within the Pol-
ish leadership.
