POLAND'S ECONOMIC CRISIS HAS ASSUMED ALMOST EPIC PROPORTIONS SINCE THE APPEARANCE OF ITS FIRST SYMPTOMS IN THE LATE 1970S. ITS CAUSES LIE DEEP IN THE SYSTEM ITSELF, THE SOVIETTYPE SYSTEM IMPOSED ON POLAND IN THE LATE 1940S & EARLY 1950S. HALF-MEASURES WILL NOT SOLVE IT, NOT THOSE SUGGESTED WHEN REFORM SEEMED POSSIBLE, NOR THOSE IMPOSED SINCE DEC. 1981 UNDER MILITARY RULE WHICH MAY WELL EXACERBATE IT.
