This is a partial translation of this text, which does not require any comment.

We have realised that many of the slogans put forward in the workers' demands have been inspired by the enemy.

The enemy has forced us to accept a battlefield ... in the factories and among the working class.

One would not talk of violence because it would have ended with I don't know what: generally speaking with the limitation of Poland's sovereignty. (.

Quench Therefore conscious decisions were taken, decisions to hold talks in very difficult circumstances: the aim was to quench the strikes, calm the nation and consider the situation later.

And in these circumstances the talks were very diffficult, sometimes vulgar.

In the first days it was "on your knees" , "hang them" , and then a handshake for agreement.

A few demands were thrown by the enemy: among them the demand to have trade unions, so-called self government trade unions.

This slogan comes from the enemy, but the working class has given it universal support. And it still supports it (...)

The workers support it pendent in the sense that Gdansk shipyard strikers we keep forgetting the socia goals of our policies.

We have always will lead to party trade unions, limited and small, and non-party unions, which is to say, anti-party.

If we don't join the "new" unions, we'll be making things too easy for them: we would then help to create a . "KOR" dominated organisation.

We must not wage war with those people. We have to have, shall we say, well-a mosaic-like policy, a manylayered policy and play it properly.

You comrades are already doing extremely well but we must also think of our party.

As it happens, party activists have forgotten these fighting methods, though of course the security services have always had to fight.

But party workers they got their instructions and the tally system did not encourage any struggle; there were simply no enemies. We were so strong that nobody could do anything to us and that is why they are disamed ghothe fish of not They're not bad people, but have to be taught again. And suddenly a disaster and what happens, what happens?-either apathy or anger, anger because there are enemies and counterrevolution-but no struggle, a struggle which is difficult, painstaking.

It's a game one plays with the enemy and his moves have to be forseen.

This is the period we are in, comrades. The aim of this struggle is to take away the leading KOR people from factories and break the
