SUPPLEMENT
1. In the middle of August 1946 a member of the Tientsin Polish Association returned
from Shanghai after conferring with Polish Embassy Officials there. He L~
that the Polish Charge d'Affaires., Mr. Kostarski, would come to Tientsin early
in September to register the Poles w th the present Polish government.
2. The president of the Tientsin Polish Association agreed that the registration
was to take place but announced that it was up to. each individual member to
decide ithetr or not he wanted to reg'r.er. VMost of the Poles who registered
were Jews who registered not because they were in sympathy with the present
Polish goverment but because of the advantage of having a Polish passport'
recogni ;ed, by the Polish goverment.
About the same time that the registration took place the president of the
Tientsin Polish Association received a letter from the Shanghai Polish
Association stating that they did not recognize the present aolish government
arid its consulate and suggesting that the T*ent i and Peiping Association
take s 'Iar stands. 25X1 X6
