In recent address made before an
American university, M. Paderev.
ski makes a logical and impassioned
appeal to American centres Of lean.
ing for their organized participa.
ton In the great movement which.
after all, involves not only the free.
dom OF vast race, but the resstab-
lishment of those ancient mills of
education with which the world can.
not we'll dispense in its post-wav
struggle for rehabilitation.
In part NJ. PaderewsE SAYS:
You are here in one Of the great.
est power houses of the United
States. You are concentrating here
the heat of thousands of young
American hearts; you are generating
here the light for hundreds Of thou
sands Of American minds. You ara
laying and establishing the solid,
sound foundation for public opinions,
You are sanctioning ideas, conse-
Grating facts.
"Give US some of that precious
heat; give US some Of that priceless
light; warm up the Indifferent; en-
Tighten the ignorant ones; help us to
break these humiliating chains bind
ing up an ancient and highly civil
lied nation, nation which has been
for centuries, and which can be
again, one of the vital organs Of
humanity.
"Take your share in this work.
Help those who have already started
the gigantic enterprise and then the
ancient Polish republic, which has
been murdered by three autocraciss,
will rise again, revived by the gen
erosity of American democracy"
M. Paderewski in speaking for the
vast ramifcations and complexities
Of the possibilities for world freedom
which will result from the final Hb.
Grafton Of Poland speaks also for the
remaining millions of the EsyiA
population of Europe.
| M. Andre Chsradame goes fnrthRs
from a standpoint Of military
strategy, and points out the india'
solubility Of the Slavic chain in com
prising also the at present tentative
attitude and condition Of Ruthenia,
Rumania and, on the extreme north,
the Let's and Lithuanians, who, al
though not Slavic nations, may cas-
lily become involved in the gigantic
insurrection which will hem in tho
Central Powers from any possibility
of dangerous expansion.
M. Cheradame indicates the terrific
menace of an Austro-German al
lance with the East, which, even ads
Eaitting an unqualified Allied victory
on the Western frongswould still con-
stitute threat to the civilization Of
Christian Europe. That the entire
world may escape the centuries o.
agony which the Slavic race has en-
dured as a living barrier to the bar
barous advance of the Ottoman EN-
pire, M. Cheradame says:
"If the Germans had been in Out
place, would they not long ago havt
made use Of the anti-German eIe'
ments in pan-Germany, considering
that in Russia they have derived tne
enormous profit that we all know
from elements favorable to then
cause, although they were much leg
numerous than those utilizable .,
