POLICY TN EAST

Amsterdam, May Sin the course
Of sharp criticism in connection with
recent events in Ukraine the Vor-
waerts of Berlin states that affairs
in the east'are in a deplorable con-
dition. THE peace concluded there
has become peace calculated to scare
away opponents still at war with US"
the newspaper says.
1T was agreed with Russia that
Esthonia and Livonia would reniain
under its sovereignty" the Vorwaerts
continues, "and three weeks later q
personal union of these countries with
Prussia was benevolently considered.
We see only enormous political dam
age being done Ukraine and not a
morsel of bread to be supplied Ger
many from that country"
The Berlin Tageblatt says:
1--WE cannot deny that we have not
succeeded in winning the affection
of the population under our military
rule of Lithuania, not to speak OF
Poland. 1t is precisely the same in
Ukraine. Even optimists may see that
the eastern structure stands on avery
unstable foundation. 1t was always
clear that Ukraine at the earliest pos
sible moment would seek union with
Russia"
