He expressed some concern when reporters sought to pin him down on details as to the position of the London government. Polish Situation The Chief Executive cautioned that all should keep their heads on the Polish situation, reminded re- porters that Russia had done some very pleasant yielding on this and other questions and asserted that the Russians are just as anxious to get along with us as we are with them.
