Solidarity charged with | _ sabotaging Polish economy By FILS DELISLE Tribune Berlin Correspondent BERLIN — In the socialist capitals of Moscow, Budapest, Prague, Berlin and elsewhere, authoritative organs of government, party and public opinion — _have expressed their concern at an at- tempt to destabilize Poland with the ul- timate aim of an anti-socialist counter- revolution. That strongly-expressed view was but- tressed by Polish communist leader Stanislav Kania’s statement, quoted by Warsaw Radio. That Solidarity was not developing as a trade union centre, as originally claimed, ‘‘but in the direction of an opposition party’’, a second power centre. A Soviet TASS statement, fol- lowing warnings in Pravda and Izvestia about the anti-socialist course the lead- ers of Solidarity were following, declared that Solidarity’s leaders were acting to thwart every attempt to normalize the situation in Poland. Rude Pravo, newspaper of the Czechoslovak Communist Party, at- tacked what it described as the anti- socialist activities of Solidarity and its allies in the organization KOR. The paper declared: ‘‘Illegal organizations, hostile to the state, could not exist and work in Poland if they were not a part of the structure of the anti-communist - centres in the West.*' In a further article, Rude Pravo said the leaders of Solidarity were pursuing a program of diversion, disorder and counter-revolution. In. Budapest, Nepszabadsag, news- paper of the Hungarian Communist Par- ty, condemned the hostile activities of Solidarity’s leaders which were aimed at the disruption of life in Poland. Those organizing the strikes in Poland, it said, “were pushing the country into chaos.” In Berlin, Neues Deutschland, news- paper of the Socialist Unity Party, pub- lished a report from its correspondent in Warsaw that ‘‘counter-revolution’’ was now the program of the Solidarity and KOR leaders there.: The report summarized the current ' situation in Poland as follows: ‘‘Whoever analyzes the developments of the last few days.here in Warsaw can only come to one conclusion: the tensions in the country have sharpened to a dangerous degree. The situation has worsened -_catastrophically. The leaders of Solidar- ity are deliberately provoking chaos and anarchy, day in and day out. What has long been clear here has now come out into the open in more drastic form. These people (Solidarity’s leaders), in alliance with the ringleaders of the anti-socialist grouping KOR, have inscribed counter- revolution on their banners.”’ The scenario being followed by Sol- idarity’s leaders, the report said, ‘*was openly propounded by KOR leader, Ku- ron, months ago. Its aim is to mercilessly promote and exploit the crisis in the country; to create and legalize opposi- tion organizations ‘‘in the first stage’’; to see to it that at the same time ‘‘the in- fluence of the workers’’’ (Communist) Party is reduced in the various sectors:of life in the country; the goal in the next stage is the complete erosion of social- ism, and especially to achieve the elimination of the Party from the coun- try’s social and political life. People like Kuron, the report con- tinued, ‘‘openly spread their viewpoint which is hostile to the state, and aims at the overthrow of socialism. They even present their anti-socialist program in lectures at universities. ‘*Those who pull the strings of the counter-revolution are working to realize this conception step by step. That can be seen, among other things, in the state of the economy of the country, which, through the machinations of Solidarity, threatens to break down. ‘‘Widespread disruption of production and communications by Solidarity are now a daily routine and shake the foundations of the country. Production in most branches has slumped drastical- ly.. This makes itself felt ever more dramatically in the supply system, in the services for the people and in many other areas of social life. The ability of the state to pay its debts is constantly diminished. Exports to the other socialist countries are falling. This disturbs the carrying through of the program of socialist integration (between the socialist coun- tries). ‘All that is needed is a look at the stores to recognize the harmful effects of the counter-revolutionary activities. Food shops have sold everything by noon. That is especially true for butter, margarine, food oils, milk products and many other basic foods. “In the past week, no one worked in hundreds of industrial plants, and in many others the rhythm of work is con- stantly interrupted. Whole regions have been economically crippled for days on end. The losses for the country, which can no longer be made up, according to official information, can now be counted in the billions of zlotys. ‘*As a result of the disorganization of the economy, sections of power plants have repeatedly had to close down. Now the danger is that whole plants may simi- larly have to close down. ‘‘Whoever comes out against the ac- tivities of the Solidarity leaders and their © counter-revolutionary partners in the name of strengthening and guaranteeing the socialist order, whoever seeks to bar the road to the organized spreading of chaos and anarchy — is threatened in ever more brutal ways. “Responsible workers who desire to do their duty have their names placed on lists, are defamed, and at times are vio- lently prevented from working. In many districts the incidents are increasing in which party officials, who seek to pre- vent disaster, are forced out of their func- tions by massive pressure, although the party’s statutes say that only the party, through party elections, can decide who can exercise various functions in it. This pressure has also been used to drive state Officials out of their positions. ‘“‘Typical for the ringleaders of the counter-revolution is the fact that they work, everywhere in the country, and most energetically, to promote tensions and disorganization, disintegration of the economy and destruction of all the people’s achievements. At the same time, however, they deny any re- sponsibility for the catastrophic con- sequences of their actions and seek to shift the blame onto the leadership of the party and the government. ‘‘Despite their repeated claims, in ac- tual fact they consider Solidarity to be a political party directed against the Workers’ Party and socialist state pow- er, and make use of their organization accordingly. They do not see the law of the land as valid for themselves.” The. report emphasizes that more people are making themselves heard with the demand ‘‘that they want a re- tum, at last, to a normal rhythm of work and living’’. Connections between these elements and anti-détente circles, emigrant organizations and mass media in the West cannot be overlooked. A particu- larly active role is played here by numer- ous foreign correspondents who, along- side their propaganda work for Solidairty and KOR, serve as contact men with counter-revolutionary centres in the West. ‘The economic and political weaken- ing of Poland is meant to have the effect of destabilizing the situation in Europe. That is why the Polish press has charged that imperialist circles want to use the current situation in Poland to disrupt the process of relaxation of tensions and the guaranteeing of peace in Europe”’ the report concludes.
