o.o)crcase in the ].'a:1:ks of declared O Cori ain _Srl, or o_n CO17ll.:unist-C')n-
trolled organizations, oneng the ol_sh e_mm?igration. Siuc bservcS,i_ons - e ? e port-
ed I;yr 'o- ovi racial CP leaders at the end o f 1,0,-12., to Lt. Col . Stefan 1? lbins':i, who ias
sent to France from i arsalr to i_nves t igate the si t,mntion among the :c les in "'rance.
The i olis'h emigration is o- ['ali'c to Communist p17n- os s because o-' its il1L'^_bers and
its potential for subversive activities. Diplomatic representatives .f the Polish
i overnment in France deny this decrease in Communist syr:nathizers. (The diplomats
include Przem;rsla}.ww C;rodzins'>i, Charge d' ffaires, who is a close -relative of Zdzislaw
C,; 'odzinsfi, the o i:f i ccr of s 1s Pili_ca who j"i-:d S'__ .1 -0 In ~o1 don in early July l93.)

non grata in France and steer clear of con,-acts 11,7i tun active Coeenul_i_s is 0f olish
ori_gi_n.. Polish Communists also accuse the French OP of taking adv.-im:va-gc of the 'ales
and making them do the dirty ;rorc.
7. "Such opinions are being voiced by Sta lisla Dibia c, who is a. trusted L-P agent in
Pas do Calais. He is head cf the so-called independent observation post for the
Pas de ;ala:i_s d.istri_ct, which Is subord'_nate to the IT unit in Paris He is a mein-
be:r of the C l . and corsoleted some S Jecial secret courses in Paris in 194b which
trained hi,..i for his present job. He lives in i r:eu~-les- miles.
8. 'it is evident ;.'hab the slow dc:ind_,-ng in numbers of 'Polish Communist Sp;m7athizers
is caused mainly by their confusion in Face of the unscrupulous tactics Of the C_-7
since `'orld '.ar 1=. Put it can hardly be expected that the #crcons resronsi_blc for
Communist ?ron~aga ida, e :then in the Polish Embassy or the provincial net ro ,, Trill
adl..i t this. r1:heTr cite the rep-: isalc of the French au tho:"i_ties. Thus re~~rese? tati_ves
of the Polish official infori,iati_on agencies in Paris have for Sons time hinted that
the new Soviet ambassador to France, Vino radov, is coning to the rescue of the Po-
lish Coiiuiuni_sts in the country. Such propagandists as Tdsi xngelot of LiP (Eiuro
Tnforr,iac ji Pracoue j) and Eogdan '.osz?_ow cz of PAP (Polska igenc ja Praso:ia) a sort
that the ambassador has received nstr!ictionc to convey to the French authorities
1.OSCOIr' S displeasure at the discrimination against the ' genuiilelyy democratic Pcles'
in France. Such rumors, though host unlikely, may have some reassuring influence on
the no---e naive Polish comrades in France."
