POLAND'S PLANS</br></br>Polish Deputy Prime Minister Leszek Balcerowicz announced the new non-Communist government's preliminary plans to create a market economy, saying Poles will face tight money, bankruptcy and unemployment along the way.</br></br>But he said Western countries are ready to help Poland and if the measures are put into effect, beneficial effects would be discernible in a year. He said the government would try to soften the pain of the program by introducing such measures as unemployment benefits.</br></br>Previously exercised remedies such as price controls, ration coupons and centralized distribution would only worsen the problems and delay the cure, Mr. Balcerowicz said.</br></br>After Mr. Balcerowicz's announcement, Solidarity leader Lech Walesa warned advisers that his movement -- and he personally -- could be blamed by angry Poles for the worsening situation.
