Conflicting Goals

Operational research is a scientific discipline that appeared in Great Britain on the eve of the Second World War. Bomber Command’s Operational research section began its studies in September 1941, using civilian scientists to analyse the bombing operations. Two potentially conflicting goals were pursued, one intended to maximize the offensive power against Germany, the other striving to minimize bomber losses. This article uses the Operational research performed during the conflict to illustrate the choices made by Bomber Command between those two possibilities, concluding on a clear priority in favour of the offensive.

Obviously, British interest; in American studies is not something which began during the Second World War and matured rapidly after 1945. Yet, no doubt because of post-1945 enthusiasm for American studies in many parts of Great Britain, such an impression has often been engendered – sometimes, indeed, unwittingly by those who ought to know better. It is partly with the object of correcting such an impression that fche Bulletin hopes to publish, from time to time, revaluations of pioneering British works on American subjects. There are at least three other good reasons for attempting a series of this kind: it might help to stimulate British students of American subjects to explore the traditions within which they are working; it could draw attention to neglected but significant British writings on American themes; and it might well produce some articles which are interesting in their own right.

The International Commission of the ITS (International Tracing Service), which consists of representatives of the Governments of Belgium, France, German Federal Republic, Great Britain, Greece, Israel, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands and the United States, held its 25th meeting on October 30, under the presidency of the Italian delegate, Mr. Paolucci. This meeting took place at the Italian National Institute of Cologne, in the presence of the Directors of the ITS, Mr. Nicolas Burckhardt and of a representative of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mr. Claude Pilloud, Assistant Director for General Affairs. It should be recalled that the International Tracing Service possesses immense archives and a great number of card-indexes concerning the fate of persons who had been deported, displaced or missing during the Second World War in Germany and in the countries then occupied by the German forces. Since 1955 the ICRC has been responsible for running this important information centre.

The present article is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive – as much as the available sources allow – presentation of Polish music in Great Britain during the war, without any claims to completeness. The main institution attracting Poles in London was, practically from the beginning of the war, Polish Hearth, founded by Polish artists, scholars and writers. The Polish Musicians of London association with Tadeusz Jarecki organised classical music concerts and published contemporary works by Polish composers. The organisation was instrumental in the founding of the London Polish String Quartet. The BBC Radio played a huge role in the popularisation of the Polish repertoire and Polish artists, broadcasting complete performances. What became an extremely attractive form of promoting Polish art were the performances of the Anglo-Polish Ballet, founded by Czesław Konarski and Alicja Halama in 1940. The post-war reality meant that most of the scores published at the time were arrangements of soldiers’, historical, folk and popular songs characterised by simple musical means suited to the capabilities of army bands, but conveying the spirit accompanying the soldiers of the Polish Armed Forces during the Second World War. Polish Army Choir established, as the first among such ensembles, on Jerzy Kołaczkowski’s initiative.The author hopes to prompt further studies into the history of migrations of artists and work on monographs on the various composers and performers. Undoubtedly, there is a need to bring this part of our musical culture to light, especially given the fact that interest in Polish music abroad has been growing in recent years.

In her article, Dobrosława Platt presents the archives of the POSK Polish Library in London as a source of biographical research. Biographies, i.e. detailed descriptions of the lives of specific figures, have, in her opinion, been particularly popular with readers for a very long time. Even when they were not as yet linked with any genre, and the biographies of famous figures were supposed to serve only as certain patterns of behaviour, readers would eagerly listen to or rewrite “the lives of famous men” for their own libraries. Frequently, they were not a reliable reflection of a given person’s life as such, but rather a desire to create a model to follow. The researcher also states that after the Second World War many outstanding writers, poets and publicists appeared in Great Britain and continued to create there, publishing their works in exile. It seems that many of them are still on the margins of Polish literature, although they do not deserve it, and creating their biographies would perhaps allow to re–evaluate their work.

In March 1944, while the second world war was still raging, the Royal Commission on Population was appointed ‘to examine the facts relating to the present population trends in Great Britain; to investigate the causes of these trends and to consider their probable consequences; to consider what measures, if any, should be taken in the national interest to influence the future trend of population; and to make recommendations’. This step was of twofold significance. First, it marked the recognition by the Government of the possible need to take policy decisions in the field of population—to translate the subject from the academic to the political plane. Secondly, it marked official recognition of the fact that despite a flood, during the immediate prewar years, of reports of grave foreboding by the demographers of the day (whose anxieties have since proved to have been exaggerated) the Government had insufficient information to decide whether or not there was a 'population problem' in Great Britain. That the problem does not now appear to be so pressing as was once thought does not abate in any way the necessity for observing the facts. The Royal Commission, indeed, emphasized the necessity for continuous study of the population problem which, they said, will always be changing.
