Stalin
Emphasizes
Link
Between
Russia
and
Allies
MOSCOW,
Oct.
11
(CP)
The
talks
between
Prime
Minister
Churchill
and
Premier
Stalin
continue
in
Moscow
today
un-
"der
harmonious
conditions."
Twice
during
a
banquet
yesterday
the
Russian
leader
rose
to
emphasize
the
links
between
Russia
and
her
western
allies.
In
London,
the
Polish
gov
ernment
announced
today
that
Prime
Minister
Mikolajc-xyk
has
been
invited
to
join
the
conferences
between
the
British
and
Russian
heads.,
The
invitation
to
Mikolaj-czjk
indicated
that
Prime
Minister
Churchill
had
gained
his
first
objective
In
an
effort
to
end
the
long
standing
Pol-Uh-Soviet
dispute
and
mend
a
potentially
dangerous
rift
in
Allied
relations.
It
is
probably
that
Mikolaj-czjk,
head
of
the
Polish
govern
mcnt
In
London,
and
Foreign
Minister
Romer
will
leave
shortly
for
Moscow.
The
Polish
Prime
Minister,
it
is
learned,
will
seek
acceptance
of
his
government's
plan
for
a
coalition
administration
until
such
time
as
a
Polish
general
election
can
be
held.
The
coalition
plans
call
for
an
administration
made
up
of
five
Polish
political
parties
including
the
Communist
party
which
is
the
backbone
of
Soviet-sponsored
National
Liberation
Committee.
In
one
talk,
Stalin
praised
the
military
might
gathered
by
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States
without
which
Russia
would
have
been
unable
to
accomplish
what
she
had.

this
morning
in

around

the

surrounded
by

not

The

on

with
the
declaration
that
the
German
garrison
in
the
city
would
ignore
the

ultimatum
for

this
the

of

being
unfurled
