Poland's Reply
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir The New York Tribune of Decem-
ber publishes letter by Mr. William N
Kirschner, to which you have given the
title "Jews of Poland" This letter re-
fleets upon the character of the Poles and
is an attempt to discredt them in the eyes
Of the American people.
In view of the fact that The Associated
Press reported on December that very
few people had been killed in Lemberg
and that the Poles were protecting the
Jews, believe it my duty to protest
against the statements made by Mr..
Krsclner.
While it is Quite possible that 100000
Jews have shed their blood fighting on the
side of the Allies for the liberation of Po-
land, it is also fact that 100000 Poles
in the Russian army, 5000 in the British
army, 5000 in the French army and 225.-
600 Poles in the American army, without
mentioning even the 10000 Poles who are
fighting under their own flag, have also
shed their blood indirectly for the liberia
tion of the Jewish promised land, Pales-
tine.
I most emphatcally wish to state that
there never have been any pogroms in Po-
land, and that those which took place in
Ukraine, the historic soil of Jewish pog-
roms, took place at the instigaton of Rus
sa. Why is it, may l ask, that if the
Jews are being so i'll treated by the Poles
half of the total number of Jews in exist
ence in the world are now living in Poland
and were before the war?
1t is very evident that the Jews of Amer
lea are being duped by German propaganda
into opposing the independence of Poland,
because an independent, united Poland
would be the surest means of preventing
Germany's expansion toward the east.

Director Polish Information Bureau

ance, no regret, no acknowledgment Of
wrongdoing. The Germans keep ON
whining about distressing shortage Of
food in Germany. But there is increas-
ing evidence that her plight is grossly
exaggerated. The Germans complain bit
terly that the conditions Of the armistice
are too onerous to be fulfilled. But they
are giving most of their energy nova
days to civil strife instead of to fulfilling
them. They call Heaven to witness and
pity their misfortunes. But they con-
veniently ignore the four years of mar
tyrdom which they inflicted on Belgium
and Northern France.
What the German is most loath to think
of is reparation. He wants to beg off.
But justice and righteousness cannot be
served by letting him beg off. The atti-
tude of the British government and the
French government toward him is not
likely to be affected by his sycophancy
and his snvelling. Nor should the atti-
tude of our own government and people
be affected.
Of crimes. The first purpose of peace
settlement should be to enforce an ade-
quate penalty. Issues like the freedom
of the seas and league of nations should
be subordinated at Paris to the primary
issue of obtaining full satisfaction from
a still unrepentant Germany. 1t will in
evitably work to German advantage il
these somewhat abstract and controver-
sial questions distract the peace confer
ence's attention from the concrete and
urgent problem of German reparation.
Let us beware of mushy impulses to
sentimentalsm and over-ready forgive
ness. For we have yet to settle with
what is unregenerate, implacable and
criminal in German nature.

The Future Of the Railroads

There seems no prospect for an inl-
mediate return of the railroads. Rather
grave difficulties intervene. 1t is fairly
clear, from the expressions of various
railroad presidents at the conference
this week, that for the most part they
themselves have no great desire to take
over the management of the roads again
at the present time. 1t seems also fairly
clear that, while the Administration
seems to have abandoned the idea of in
definite retention, it will not hand back
the roads until some kind of adequate
legislation and the adoption of def
mite policy toward the roads have been
achieved In his message the President
said very firmly:
The one conclusion that I am ready to
state with confidence is that it would be
disservice alike to the country and to
the owners of the railroads to return to
the old conditions unmodified. Those
conditions of restraint without de-
velopment. Some new element of policy,
therefore, is absolutely necessary-nec
sary for the service of the public neces-
who are administering the RAILWAYS.
necessary for the protection of their
security holders. The old policy may be
changed much or little, but surely it can
not wisely be left as it was.
Senator Smith, chairman of the SEN
ate Interstate Commerce Committee, is
reported as saying after conference
with the President that no action would
be taken until the matter had been con-
sidered by Congress. And there seems
little prospect that the present Congress
can do much with the question. The
calling of an extra session is in the
Presidents hands, That might not come
Immediately in March, SO that, allowing
for perhaps three or four months of
discussion in framing the measure, the
present prospect is that unless some
great urgency should arise the roads
will remain in the hands of the govern
ment for the better part of next wear
at least
There are reasons for believing that
to the more conservative railroad minds
this would not be wholly unwelcome.
1t is evident that expenses have been
rising rapidly in the last few months,
and it may take some time for this
tendency to be checked. Meanwhile, if
living should remain high, the pressure
for increased wages would be strong.
The amount of traffic which the roads
will develop is problem. It may be
very large. 1t may not And with the
return of the roads questions Of finan-
cling would be immediate.
So, apparently. the large question Of
government operation will have full
and fair try-out. There has been no
real test under war conditions The
vital test will not fairly begin before
the opening of the new year 1t is to
be hoped that a farsighted and ener-
gctic successor to Director McAdoo can
be found, in order that this test nav be

Big Business in a Big Spirit

With the return of peace this country
had ready no large programme of re-
construction, as it is termed--programm
of reconstruction, it might better be said.
The Administration had none, the Pres
ident had none In his letter to tho fine
gathering of business men at the meet
ing of the United States Chamber of
Commerce at Atlantic City the Prcsi-
dent wrote:
You may be sure ! would send mes
sage to the meeting at Atlantic City If
knew what message to send but. frankly
do not. 1t is time when we must all
thoughtfuly take counsel and apply the
wisest action to circumstances as they
arise. | am, of course, cngrosscd with
preparations for leaving for the other
side.
In effect, the government turned over
the whole question of the return of in
dustry to q peace basis to the industrial
captains and our business men them
selves. We are not at all sure that this
was not the wisest and sanest course
Our political government has never
learned to cooperate and participate in
business undertakings like, for example,
the former government of Germany and
in u less degree the government of Eng

To a Great Friend

America and Britain stand to-day
loyal and seasoned friends.
We have fought great fight shoulder
to shoulder, with one purpose and with
one will.
Together we have won that fight.
Together we shall stand while genera
tions low living shall endure.
The great war has proved that Eng
land and France and America are bound
to the same route and seek the same goal.
With very human differences of charac-
ter, based on our several intense nation
alities, we find ourselves united in COM
mon faith and hope of right and justice
for all men.
This is not merely an intellectual con-
ception If it were, all hope of better

fought with brothers, not with bar
barans.
But to-day, as British armies march
through German lands, the people gaze
upon them with amazement to see that
they are still unwearied, fresh, conf
dent; they have not lost heart; they
did not lose heart when, barely few
months ago, these same men fought
with their backs to the wall. We came
and conquered because others had held
the line against our coming, had ex-
hausted the last reserves before our
millions appeared; but the British of the
early years died, hopeless for them
selves, confident only for the future
they saved by their sacrifice.
And it is not merely in association
with men of the British Isles that our
troops have fought Before we came

British defeats in the dark sad years
of the earlier phases, out of which has
come the series of successes that opened
to us the gates of Cologne and Manz
and brought Allied armies to the Rhine.
Friendship, understanding, associa-
ton between the British Empire and the
United States carry with them the prom
ise of peace in the world More than a
century has passed since Americans and
Englishmen fought each other along the
Mississippi, but yesterday we fought to-
gether along the Scheldt In a common

Engish-speaking races have found their
common ground Of sympathy. In

human freedom tyranny called forth
the same response on either side of the

Therefore it is something more than
the brave deeds and noble sacrifices of
British soldiers and sailors we honor to-
day. 1t is something more than an
association in a past still recent The
German, who sought to exploit the su-
perficial differences, has ended by re-
vealing the fundamental sympathies of

Abolish the Gold Embargo

An English statistician makes the
computation that the United States now
holds one-third Of the worlds visible
stock Of gold. Before the war we had
about quarter. We have added in four
years nearly a billion and quarter
Like other nations we have been jeal-
ously boarding this gold, in the apprc-
henslon that somehow or other it might
flow away from us. How it could flow up
hill, as it were, nobody knew. Our bal
ance of export trade was enormous; we
had changed from debtor to a creditor
nation and yet it was felt that we ought
not to let any Of this huge addition of
gold get out of the country.
No justifiable apprehension any longer
exists. On the contrary if there is any
apprehension it should be that this huge
stock should stay with us. 1t would be
highly salutary if we could get rid Of
some Of it. At present prices are exceed
ly high in America. At least one power
full reason for these high prices was an
expansion of six or eight billions in
pdllhllS cIeulIS, Wnlcn IN TURN was large
ly made possible by the addition of
this billion and a quarter of gold Eng
land is resoutely and directly going back
to a gold basis and to complete free
dom of gold movement. The United
States must obviously do the same We
have now far more to fear from an in
flow of gold than frem any notable drain.
We cannot afford t3 have higher prices,
and we cannot afford to take on more gold
which will make those prices higher. We
already have too many perplexing prob
lens to deal with, as, for example, the
railroad problem, which is almost wholly
due to the soaring prices of the last few
years.

Amateur Radios

Sir: Now that the war has been won i
seems rather hard on the amateur radio
operators that their former PRIVILEGE of
practising the art of radio in an education

abolished by House Bill No. 1850, which

lously solicited the enlistment of as many
amateurs as possible, and that in the navy
