Formation Of fered to Reds
LONDON, Aug. 31 (P) Prime
Minister Mikolajczyk of the Pol
ish government in exile . an
nounced today an offer to Russia
to fornt a coalition cabinet with
equal representation of Poland's
five parties.
On the eve of the fifth anni
versary of the German attack on
Poland starting this war, the
prime minister said his nation's
Fate is a "great test case for the
world," He said Warsaw again
had called for help, but that the
Russians had. not yet granted per
mission for allied shuttle planes
to land on soviet soil in order
to support Gen. Bor's still-fighting
patriot army in the capital.
Near End of War
"We are near the end of this
war. " Mikolaiczyk said, ."the
ideological principles of the war,
comprised in the Atlantic charter
and four freedoms, have . some
how depreciated in value ln
favor of Dower nolltics. ' -
As a result, he said, such states
as Poland "cannot conduct their
policy in the seclusion of diplo
matic conferences but must con
duct it honestly and openly In
the light of the day before the
public opinion of the great
powers." '
Plan Annroved
' The exiled government's plan
for accord with the soviet-sponsored
Polish committee of nation
al liberation has been approved
by the Polish underground and
by his cabinet and is en route to
