CPSU'S ZAGLADIN COMMENTS ON L'OLI~H DEVELOPMENTS
PM1715~1 Mi:ian CORRIERE DELLA SERA in Italian 15 Dec 8! pp 1-2
[Maurizio Chierici report on 14 Decesnber prESS conference in Geneva given by Vadim
Zagladin, first dE~puty chief of t?e CPSU Central Committee inte~.:national section:
"Reassuring Action"]
~ [Excerpt] Geneva--~Question] Mr Zagladin, is the Soviet Union entirely in agreement
with the action undertaken by General Jaruzelski?
[Answer] It seems to me a reassuring action. At least I hope so. Our opinion is ~
~ that the situation in Poland has become untenable. There were forces determined to
clash with the socialist forces. Something more thar~ a verbal conflict was being
i planned. If G2neral Jaruzelski had not taken the measures in question ~�;e might have
witnessed more serious and more tragic c~venis.
[Question] Western observers hint at S~~viet Union pressure on the Warsaw Governc~ent:
What is your opinion?
[Answer] There has been no pressure from us.
[Q~~estion] In your opinion, how is it possible to take decisions in any way connected
with democracy at a time when th e state siEge is being intensified?
(Answer] First, nobody has denied the existence of trade unions. They are not
prohibited. Their.acti.vity }~as been suspended for a w'~ile. Ccneral .Taruzelski
himself tias confirmed this. It is a temporary measure. It must be r~~siized that
democratic order h3d nothing in c~mmon with disorder recently nurtured in Poland by
certain rightwing elements in Solidarity....
[QuestionJ Only by Solidarity's right wing?
[Answer] Only by the ribht wing--not by all members.
[Question] Were you surprised by the proclamation of the state of siege?
[Answer] Personally, no. Perhaps I did not expect it to happ~n ~ig:t now, but I
_ had evidence that there were elements in Poland ready for a violent confrontation.
They said that it was necess:~ry to "hang" (we might have misheard here: "pendre"

~ means "to hang" in French, but Zagladin might have said "prendre," "to take," in
other words "to set aside"--CORRIERE editor's note) thousands of people...loyal to
the democratic State. In view of this threat, the Government decided it was
necessary to intervene.
[Question] How was this c}ecision taken?
[Answer] It is a decision that derives from the latest Polish Communist Party (as
published] plenum. All Party representatives undertook to "do something" to restore
order. It was easy to imagine what would happen.
[Question] Why are you in Geneva?
[Answer~ I am a member qf a scientif~~ d2legation....

WARNING TO WEST ON POLISH EXPULSION THR~AT NOTED
PM081323 London THE GUARDIAN in English 8 Jan 82 p 12
[Editorial: "When Doors Would Have to bc Boltad"]
[Text] One thing is ominously certain after General Jaruzelski's meeting this week
with EEC ambassadors to Warsaw. There will be, to use the general's reported
phrase, "no place for Solidarity extremists in the Poland of tYie future." It is
less than clear whether the Polish authorities were emphasi~ing that Solidarity
in its old farm was dead and buried or whether, as some sources suggest, Warsaw
is flirting with the idea oE deporting thousands of fr.ee trade unionists and other
dissidents. If the latter, then EEC governments should have a united response
ready before the unfortunate detainees find themselves herded together at Warsaw
Military Airport or shovell~d on to troop trains ready for shipment to points West.
And that response should be spelled out beyond all doubt to Poland's military
dictators.
Austria's chancel.lor, Bruno Kreisky, who had similar harsh decisions to make when
the Czechoslovakian authorities were harassing members of Charter 77, has said that
he will accept any Solidarity leader who g~nuinely wishes to leave Poland. That
is right and proper. The West can hardly condemn tne Soyiet Bloc for refusing
exit visas to those who, like Andrei Sakharov's daughter-in-law, want out and then
turn away persecuted Polish trade unionists. It would, however, be intolerable
for the West to accept--or even to allo~r the military authoriti~s to believe that
we might accept--people unwillingly expelled from their~homeland for t:ieir political
beliefs. Many Solidarity activists might decide they preferred a martyred exis-
tence--harassment, unemployment or detention--to exile. That choice should be for
them and them alone to make. It can be no part of the EEC ob~ective to help
General Jaruzelski rid himself from such embar;-assments.
` Above all, ttie West can be party to no deal wtiich includes the mass expulsion
of unwilling emigres as part of a so-called relaxation of tension inside Poland.
If C~neral Jaru2elski has prisoners who, h~ c]_aims, wish to leave Poland and whom
he wishes to be shot of [as publishedJ, then Western ambassadors should have direct
and free uccess to them to substantiate that claim. Then, and only then, should
they be granted political asylum--not, be it noted, refugee status. And the
Polish uovernment should be told that no restrictions would be imposed upcn the
political activities of such exiles beyond those placed upon all of us by our
countries of residence.

ROLE OF WALESA'S WIFE IN STRIKES REPORTEL
PM181203 London DAILY EXPRF.SS in English 18 Dec �31 p 8
[Sue Masterman dispatch: "Walesa's Wife Stopped a Bloodbath"]
[TextJ Warsaw--Lech Wa:.esa's heavily-pregnant wife intervened to stop a blood-
bath in Poland's Gdansk Shipyard it was revealed yesterday.
From inside embattled, censor-ridden Poland this is one of the facts to emerge
from the last few days of crisis.
Danusia [diminutive of DanutaJ Walesa, who expects her seventh child at Christmas,
went to the Lenin Shipyard, birthplace of Solidarity, to appeal to siC-in workers
to leave.
Her husband is interned along with up to 15,000 othe�r Polish ~aorkers' leaders
_ but she told the shipyard ~nen:
"My husband is stil.l. chairman of this union. Do nothing until he gives you
instructions.
"I.ech has told me: 'It's hopeless. Tell them not to do it."'
'1'hat rPS~~lted in thousands of. workers obeying the Military Government's deadline
oE one f~our to quit the yard and temporarily defuse the situation.
B�c thousands more are still inside.
They threw spanners and hammers at rhe men walking out and reports say the
cliehards have mined the approaches to the yard.
