stopping farther, then at THE and without availing
ourselves of the recolecons which the sons OF the
heroes Of the of independence preserve OF their
fathers Polish comrades = Pulaski kosciusco,
Niomcewicz- having demonstrated the bene-
fits which the rising Of Poland in the present war,
upon the rear OF the Russian armies would bring to
Europe, by striking her enemy to the heart and put
ting an end to the war OF kings, well as by de-
Gliding the final European reVolntion-atter proving
that in the present situation nothing else but this
rising could have the same effective win content
ourselves with explaining the conditions which may
facilitate its success.
These conditions are of two kinds: moral and ma
terial
The moral consists of the collectiveness, the uni
ty, and the universally Of the effort; and depend,
consequently, to certain extent on the support
which the insurrectionary government will find in
its spontaneous recognition by free nations. This
government viii only be installed by the asurrec-
ton itsef.that is to say, by the armed peoples and
will make itself known to friends and enemies by its
blows upon these last. But before it can become a
power, 1t must have been party, an association,
principle; and it is in this state Of embryo that the
epoch begins in which the sympathetic and effec
tive if not the official recognition of free nations is
especially necessary to it. To sympathize with and
to assist the party is to ally with the government
which shall issue from it. Now, as there are two
classes and two sorts Of interests in Poland, there
also two parties in the emigration that OF priv
lege and monarchy, round which rallies the Polish
! aristocracy--and that Of democracy, representing
TIE people, It's 0SplrutlOuS ana ltS rSnts we nave
shown above how only from this last the insur-
rection and its government can proceed, and how
the individuals belonging to the first will come
peforce to join 1.-THE party of the aristocracy now
resting all its hopes and basing all its calculations
upon the initiative of the Cabinets of France and
England the object of whose policy is quite another
thing from the restoration OF Poland. In the choice
of the patty with which henceforth the different
| governments ought to connect themselves there can
1 be no mistake. With the monarchical party, that
OF pretendcrs and dplomatists, the monarchical
cabinets will be connected; we do not deplore it.
But to the democratic party that OF the people, of
| the national and humanitarian revoluon-to the
party recognized by the European committee, allied
with France, with Italy, with Hungary, with Ger
many, with Moldo-Walachia, with revolutionary
Russiato that belongs henceforh the alliance, the
support the recognition Of republics already consti
tuted Its flag has from the beginning been carried
in the emigration by the Polish Democratic So
cety, from whose hands the country received it and
adopted it in 1916, and toward which to-day the
Polish people turn their eyes, to see what greeting
it meets with from the peoples, what support it-may
hope for in its efforts. Every mark OF sympathy
from America for the Polish democracy is more than
an encouragement; it is a redoubling Of strength
for the coming insurrection Of Poland.
Connected with the moral conditions Of sue
cessfu rising is the written and oral the public and
private, the printed and epstolary propagandism
| which must precede action, and move it from di-
recting centre II is upon that this task devoves,
and to us that the disposal of the material means
nee essary for its accomplishment Is intrusted. We
pass, then, to the material conditions Of success
! full rising.
OF these conditions, the Central Committee of the
Polish Democratic Society is in clear way OF real
izing one of the principal: the disarming of por-
ton of the hostile forces in Poland, through their
detection at the moment Of action For this it has
been only necessary to revive in the Russian army
the remembrance of the generous intentions Of Pes
tel, Mourayief Bestuefi, Ryleef, and Kachowsk,
and to knit between the democrats of the two coun-
tries sincere alliance based upon the recognition
Of common objects and of mutual rights This al
lance has been concluded at London; q centre of
Russian propagandism has been established; hume
rous, varied, and popular writings have been pub
lished; communications opened; and the ardor with
which the writings are demanded and new materials
tatives Of the two countries do not mistake as to
the existence of the elements they represent, and
the effect they reckon upon producing.
There remain for the preparatory. period, per-
haps already very limited the gathering Of the re-
fugees, especially of those who are most distant
frcm their country, at fixed points, whence they
might be transported nearer and kept in readiness
to enter the country armed, at the first moment of
the insurrectisn the means of transport for them
and also for ODse who must precede them; and
while waiting, their keep and outfit.
For the period of action supplies of arms and mu.
Lii ns OF war; OF which tic aisenals in the enemies
hands can furnish but very small part, and that
net inime diatcly nor everywhere. The supplies OF
arms should he contracted for and kept ready in
GeIUts where they might be handy al any moment
fer tic use Of the instruction.
For both periods funds with which the insrrrec
titn notwithstanding the revolutionary means O
which it ought to make use, will probably be illsup
piled 1T TIE beginning, but which, rich in the i'm
mcnse OF the nation, constituted, j,
can easily reimburse. This need can only be met
by the national credit, the resources of the class
which contains the germ of the future revolu-
ton being null and the wealthy classes being inter-
estod not in nouishing but in retardng the nsuec-
ton waiting the topntlys restoration from Cabinets
which disposed to do nothing for it. II is then
foi the States which would have Poland restored
by the hands OF her own sOns,-that is to say, the
only Poland capable of filing the part OF protector
and cvilizer, to which she Is caed,-it is for the
States which feelthe necessity of Poland, which
believed in the actual present existence OF the cle
mon,s OF her approaching resurrection, and which
cen reckon upon her-t is for them from to-day to
open an account with her, not with the object OF
provoking rising, whichin every case isinevitable
but by facilitating and Fastening her success, to
ward Off many suiierings, many struggles, and much
OF blcodshed from Poland, and many mistakes and
calamities from the other peoples of Europe.
This IL what the Central Polish Democratic Com
mtee, strong in its convictions and in the truth oil
the facts here brought under notice, and confident OF
the wisdom and generosity of the government of the
United States submits to it, in witness of its un
bounded confidence, and as pledge of the decisive
part which Poland will take in the approaching
struggles Of the peoples. II will believe it has at
tanned its aim If in its relations with the govern
monts and with the peoples Of Europe, during the
present crisis, the government OF the Uuited States
keeps count OF the facts and contained IL
this communication.
On behalf of the Polish Democratic Society.
