A file of correspondence, reports, and press material concerning political developments in Poland. The documents include a report produced by Sir Eric Berthoud, the outgoing British ambassador to Poland, reflecting on the political situation in Poland. The report covers the "more humanitarian type of dictatorship" introduced by Władysław Gomułka, the Polish leader; and Berthoud's view that "there is no cause for despondency as to the future of Anglo-Polish relations". The documents also cover several ministerial changes within the Polish government; the attendance of several leading Polish politicians at the third congress of the Romanian Workers' Party; and the view of Sir George Clutton, the new British ambassador to Poland, that there are significant ideological differences within the Polish government. Other documents include an article in The Times on a religious riot in the Polish city of Nowa Huta; and an American intelligence report on developments in Poland during May 1960.
