BULLETIN OF THE PRESS AND INFORMATION DEPARTMENT POLAND RECOGNIZES THE GERMAN IKvIOCRATIC REPUBLIC The Polish Government has decided to recognize the Government of the German Democratic Republic and to accredit a diplomatic representation with it. Mr.Kaxol Tkocz has been nominated diplomatic representative to the Government of the German Democratic Republic. Sources PIP. POLISH RESOLUTION AT THE SOCIAL CO111ISSION OF TBE U _-W O.. ASSEiMBLY The Social Commission of the UNO Assembly has considered the draft resolution submitted by, the Polish delegation on discri.;nination applied by sane countries to immigrant workers and D.P.s. In many countries and among them, in the United States, France, England and Canada,irmnigrant workers receive 3o%G or even 50% lower wages than the local workers. As a rule, in Canada, the immigrant workers have to work longerhours than the local ones. The Polish draft resolution states that discrimination applied by many States to immigrant workers, and particularly to workers recruited among the Refugees and D.P.s, is inconsistent with the principles of the United Nations. Therefore., the Polish delegation moves that the Assembly instruct the countries belonging to the United Nations Organizations 1, To promulgate a ban on the discrimination if immigrant workers and to treat them on an equal footing with their own citizens. 2. To guarantee to immigrant workers possibilities of sending their savings to the countries of their origin. . 3. To secure for the tmnigrant workers, the right to return to their hands at the expense of the State to which they have emigrated. 1, To settle the terms on which the immigrant workers are employed and onlistcd exclusively on the basis of bi-lateral agreements between the countries of inmiigration and emigration and concluded with the co-operation of the two countries, Trade Unions. During the debatesp Dr.Altman, the Polish delegates delivered a speech in which he stated that the very persons who apply discriminatory practices deny most clamourously the concrete facts cited by the Polish delegation .xoting facts and names, the Polish delegate stated that in France foreign workers are punished for participation in strikes, and that France puts difficulties in the way of the Polish workers' repatriation and uses chicanery, in connection with Polish children going home for their holidays.

WARSAW BULLETIN OF THE PRESS AND INFORMATION DEPARTMENT No. 237 October, 20, 191+9 25X1 PREIvfER OF TIE GEEJv1AN DEMOCRJ TIC REPUBLIC INTERVIEWED BY POLISH JOURNALISTS Premier Otto Grotewohl received a delegation of Polish journalists paying a visit to Berlin. The Polish journalists asked Premier Grotewohl how public opinion in Germany had received the creation of the German Democratic Republic, Ia Government. Answer: In the whole Soviet Occupation Zone as well as in Western Germany the progressive and democratic forces welcomed the creation of our German Democratic Republic in a most warm and friendly manner, taking it that, in this { way, the front of peace and democracy has been reinforced by one more State. Twenty four hours after the creation of the Government, on the ..ctivists,Day, representa- tives of the Government addressed many thousands of workers in factories and mines. It was a manifestation of close harmony between the Government and the German nation. All the ministers stater] unanimously that the clause of the Governmental declaration referring explicitly to the recognition of the Odra-Nyssa frontier as the frontier of peace, met, at all these meetings, with unanimous applause (mit ungettiltem Beifall) on the part of the working population. Reactionary elements, especially in Western Germany, as well as their Anglo-American protectors are, naturally, against our government. But we do not govern in the interest of reactionaries but against it. Neither do we govern to support the Anglo-Americans;' aims and their war policy, but in the none of in- dependent Germany's unity and for the sake of peace. estion; What are the plans of the German Democratic Government for .the near future? Answer: Wo. have expounded clearly our plans in the Government's Declaration, in the field of internal policy - the raising of the living standard of the population by carrying out and surpassing the Two-Year Plan, which will be accoapained by many moves intended to raise iur economic life and our standard of living to the pre-war level and even higher. In doing so, the Government will base itself on the active co-operation of the working population without which the German Democratic Republic could not. progress. Whether we shall succeed in rebuilding Germany, by our own efforts depends on the working people. Therefore, the Government will not be isolated, they will not confine their activities to their desks, they will be a?government of action, co-operating most closely with the People's masses. We rely on our own forces and on international solidarity, on co-operation. with the Soviet Union with the People's Democratic Poland and other countries of People;s Democracy and not on Anglo-American tips. In order to show the successes we have already achieved on the road of a peace policy , I should like, above all, to point out our youth. During the greatest, in recent years, manifestation orga- nized in Berlin, on the day of Wilhelm Pieclc's election to the presidency, several hundreds of thousands of youth greeted the newly elected President with enthusiasm and swore loyalty to the policy represented by him., Approved For Release 2005/04/22 : CIA-RDP83-00415R003800080003-8 RE TR1C 4E.L R S A. AppFbved For Release 2005/04/22 : CIA-RDP83-00415R003800080003-8 it" rEcC`i ED Thanks to the school reform, and to the gigantic educational work among young pe ploy the yogith who grow up in the German Democratic Republic are getting rid of. national pride and chauvinism, to which they paid hanage in the past, cif Hitlorite brutality, of hostile feelings towards other nations, especially towards the Slav nations. The Free German Youth Association, numbering 1 million r..e ~'acru, between 14 and 2o year:.. of age, the 7oo,ooo Pioneers (Children's Organization) are being brought up in the spirit of friend- ship among nations and in the spirit of peace. This is a valuable contribution to the building of international peace, it is the corner stone of our work for peace. We have won a considerable part of German youth and we are going to .win for this idea the whole German youth. question: How does the Government intend realizing their principles with regard to the Gel^nan-Polish relations? Answcr: I should'like to declare in an unequivocal manner that the Government of the German Democratic Republic has nothing in common nor does it wish ever to have anything in common with the anti-Polish policy of former German governments, no matter whether it was a Monarchy, the Weimar Republic or the Hitlerite govornxnt. An imperialistic aggressive Germany must never again attack Poland, the Soviet Union or any other nation in the world. One for ever we want to put an end to the. gang nach Osten" policy, so that the Polish Nation need no longer live in the ago.-old fear of German militarists and imperialists,' expansion, whose dire result was the massacre of I/4 of the Polish Nation. That is wh; r we think, as I have already clearly foxmulated in ray Government beclaration, that the Odra and Nyssa frontier is the frontier of peace,. and we consider everyone, who calls for the revision of this frontier, to be an enemy to the Geiiari arit''. the Polish nations and a warmonger. We fully support the peace policy led by the great Stalin, the peace policy of the Socialist world power, the Soviet Union, on whose mighty shoulders rests the task of saving humanity from, war'. Stalin's cable to.the democratic Government of Germany has made it quite clear to us Germans, what?rble Germany can play in the struggle for.peace. The German--Polish agreement is one of the decisive elements of this, world peace policy. The People's Poland taking part in the resolutions passed by the Warsaw Conference, tog:;ther with the Soviet Union and other People's Democracies, has assumed an sand towards German's unity, based on the Potsdam resolutions. We hope that we shall soon establish close relations. There is already in Berlin a.Po1i. h Military Mission and a commercial representation of the Polish Covornmont. Wo maintain most friendly. relations with these representations. x44 present, where truly democrat:; cc and peace-loving forces have taken over power, I should li.ie to express my hopes that the relations between the Polish ancd. the German Governments will become closer.' W We also ardently wish to extend: steadily our mutual exchange of goods, i.e. to follow a trade policy flowing not fran the principles of imperialistic trade, but from the needs of our two nations. On your return to your country, please, greet all our friends, nc particularly those with whom I'am personally acquainted. I have not had, as yet, the pleasure of visiting Poland since l945.. However, I think I shall be ai;lo one day to se for myself with whet enthusiasm the Polish Nation 'had set a boui.: ?40 overcome the dreaclf'ul consequences of the war. I have boon told many thing; s about the magnificent rebuilding of Warsavr. They are still rian.,y ruins in our county, but we shall iianage to get rid of them. We are very hopeful- and we '-now we can rely on our workers.
