Comrade Rapacki
Comrade WINIEWICZ5[1]7 reports by dispatch No 462 of the 29th of this month:
Together with Lachs I had a conversation with the British delegate Longden, member of parliament and deputy chairman of the foreign commission of the Conservative Party.
1) We chiefly discussed the R. plan. I put strong emphasis on the need for increased interest in the plan by the conservative. We appreciate Labors interests, but we would also like to see it among the ruling party. dLongden reacted vigorously and sympathetically. He promised to speak with Selwyn Lloyd. He also took up the suggestion to invite someone from Warsaw so that he present the plan at a closed meeting of the foreign commission of the conservatives.d
e2) Longden stated quite emphatically that a true solution of the controversial problems is only possible by diplomatic channels or by contacts outside the UN. He does not think that anything can be achieved at the UN. To be sure, he expresses the view of the British government.
