Polish Expulsion From East Prussia.

Polish Expulsion From East Prussia.
Ed. p. G.. ADvERTIsER-Sir: Your
much admired love for the exact truth will
without doubt grant to me space to cor
rect few misstatements and miscon-
ceptions into which you may have been
lead by reading the German Opposition
papers.
Bismarck has not conceived the plan
of exiting the entire Polish race from
Prussia only the Poles who have immi-
grated during the last twelve years, and
are not Prussian subjects, have been ex-
PEELED. The immigration of Poles from
Russia into Prussia has been quite strong
and went on rapidly increasing; cause,
better wages in Germany. The Poles
living lower than the German laborers,
can work cheaper; even a Pole prefers
the government of law to that of the
knout. If this immigration was not
stopped the laboring classes along the
eastern boundary of Prussia would have
become Polish, and the employers and
landowners kept German Bismarck is
therefore kept busted to prevent the
formation of a new Ireland in East
Prussia"
If it were true that the Poles of East
Prussia and Pomerania number about
two and half millions, it would look
rather dark; but in fact there are not
more than two hundred and fifty thous-
and of them, and they do not ele ct sin
gle representative in the Reichstag. The
mean, little motive which you would
foist upon Bismark can therefore not
exist. Pomerania was not Polish before
it became Prussian, but was left after
the thirty years war (1648) with
Sweden, from which Prussia has
recovered it piece by piece. In
East Prussia the races are not evenly
balanced. The Poles number only 10
per cent of the whole population.
The colonization scheme has been
Matched by the National Liberal party.
The intention is to break up large landed
estates and divide them into moderate
sized farms, owned by their cultivators.
The advantages of that will be clear to
any Englishman. 1t will without doubt
work against the Polish landowners,
whose farms are mostly in a wretchedly
neglected state and heavily mortgaged.
The Prussian budget asks for $1,000, 900
for that purpose, not for $75 900. Yours,
truly, E. LINDEMANN.
