A problem is raised in Polish (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
rub up
'polish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a problem is raised' is the wordplay.
'a problem' becomes 'rub' ('there's the rub').
'is raised' becomes 'up' (similar in meaning).
'rub'+'up'='RUB UP'
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for rub up that I've seen before include "Polish" , "shine" .)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
