Somepointsmayneedclarification:

TheNationalFrontwonagainstnocompetition.All721candidates(twohadbeendisqualified)werelistedundertheheading:National Front.Ineachareaallcandidateswerepicked andnominatedbyoneelectioncommission.

Therewas-noCatholicparty.Theonlyparties allowedtoexistwerethecommunist(Polish UnitedWorkers)party,Peasants'partyand Democraticparty,butonlyasubservient,fellowtravellingformofthese,IndividualCatholics notmembersofanyparty,wereamongcandidatesnominatedbytheelectioncommissions.

Ofthe22avowedlyCatholiccandidates,12won electiontotheSejm,andexceptintheWarsaw constituencywhereMr.Gomulkawonthetop vote,allofthese12wonmorevotesthananyof theothercandidatesintheirdistricts.Mr. Gomulkahadnotbeenamemberoftheprevious parliament.

IntheCracowconstituencywherePremier JozefCyrankiewiczwasacandidate,aCatholic biologistnamedStanislawStommawonthemost votes,Mr.Cyrankiewicz,whileelected,placed fourthfortheconstituency.

Semi-officialreturnsindicatedthatone"pre- ferred"NationalFrontcandidate,acommunist runningisNowySaczinCracowprovince,failedtoreceivethenecessary50percentvote.

FewofthePoleswhovotedforcommunistsdid sobecauseofanylikingforcommunism.Communistsuccessesareduechieflytothelimited choiceofcandidates,thefearofprovokingRussianintervention,andthepopularitygainedby Mr.Gomulkanotbeingacommunistbutby standinguptotheStalinistsandRussians.

WhatrankledmostwiththemajorityofPoles wastheanti-Churchcampaign.AnoverwhelmingmajorityofthepopulationareCatholics,and ahighpercentageofthemarepractisingCatholics.True,thepresentregimehasrestoredsome importantlibertiestotheChurch.Butthepeople knowthatitisstillacommunistregimeandthat allcommunismisbasedonatheisticprinciples.

Thefactthatcommunismhasbeenimposedon PolandbyRussiaisenoughtomakeitdistastefultotheaveragePole.

Apartfromthesereligiousandpatrioticconsiderations,theotherrealitiesofdailylifeunder communistrulehavebredastrongdislikefor communisminPoland.Theseharshrealitiescan begroupedunderthreemainheadings:

1.Government.

IntheheartofWarsawyouseeamassive seven-storybuildingerectedsincethewarwith publicmoney.ItistheheadquartersofthePZPR, thPolishUnitedWorkers'Party,whichisthe Communistparty.Itisfromthisbuilding,not fromanyGovernmentoffices,thatPolandhas beenruled.

Eleswhereinthecityyouseebuildingsbearingthenamesofgovernmentministriesand commissions.ThereisaPolishparliamentthe Sejm.Butallthesehavehadtotaketheirorders fromthepartyheadquarters.

Mr.Gomulka,theacknowledgedrulerof Polandatthemoment,holdsnogovernment post.Heissecretarygeneraloftheparty.The Premier,Mr.Cyrankiewicz,isapartymember butheissubordinatetoMr.Gomulkainthe partyandinactualpower.

Mr.Gomulkahasindeedpromisedachange. "Wemustcreatethenecessaryconditionsforthe parliamenttofulfillitsprimordialtaskofexercisingsupremelegislativeandcontrolling power,"hedeclaredlastOctober.Hedescribed theproperroleofthepartyas"guiding"and "directing"thegovernment.Buthemadeno allownaceforthepossibilitythatthepeople mightprefersomeotherpartytodotheguiding.

Theselectionofcandidatesfortherecent elections,whileincludingnon-partymembers, wascontrolledbyhisparty.

Hispromisesforthefuture,however,musthave wonvotesamongthosewhohadbeendisgusted bytheexperienceofthepast.

2.Justice.

Underthecommuniststensofthousandsof PoleshaveservedprisontermsforallegedoffencesagainsttheState.TheU.B.,thesecret police,nowdisbandedweredetested,Mr.Gomulkahimself,aCommunistpartymembersince earlymanhood(heisnow52),wasarrestedin 1949andhelduntillastsummer.Hisbiography, givenmebyagovernmentoffice,nowdescribes thechargesagainsthimas"outrageousandunfounded."

'Tragicthingshavehappenedamongus,and innocentpersonshavebeencondemnedtodeath," hehimselfsaidpublicly,lastOctober."Many otherinnocentpersonshavebeenimprisoned, oftenforlongyears,andcommunistsamong them.Manyhavebeensubjectedtobrutaltorture."

ThePolishpeoplerememberthatthesethings happenedunderAlecommunistsystemandthat thesystemitselfprovide'snosafeguardorremedy.

3.Economics.

.NearlyeveryPoleyoutalktospeaksofthe economicdifficulties.Theymakelifehardfor theindividual.Theythreatenthenationwith disaster.AgainquotingGomulka'sspeechoflast October:"Wefindourselvestodayfacingimmenseeconomicdifficulties.Weareinthepositionofabankrupt Thecausesofthetragedy ofPoznanandofthedeepdiscontentofthewhole workingclassarefoundinus,inthepartyleadership,inthegovernment."
