GOVERNMENT EXISTS
FOR THE PEOPLE

Amsterdam, Nov. 25.-Durins q
recent excited debate in the Prussian
diet over the Polish questionable
treatment of the Prussiau Poles--an
anti Polish deputy took occasion TO
compare Prussian Poland with Ire
land. in an attempt to draw conclu-
sions favorable 10 I<ussia.
He stirred UP "A hornets nest. Tho
Polish deputy Trompczinski jumped
to his feet and answered AS follows:
1t is very imprudent TO raise in
this house the question of Irish con
ditions. We have hitherto purposelv
avoided all comparisons between the
situation of the Poles under Prus-
sian domination and the conditions in
ireland. We have avoided such com
PARSONS in order to avert the aecusa-
.tion that We, in this body and during
the war, sing praise "f British policy.
Since you. howeN have begun
this discussion. we are compelled to
tell You few words upon this sub
ject. In ireland. the highest posts
are occupied by Irishmen, and to-
day Deputy Lohmann in this house
had the sad courage of asserting tina.
it is naturally quite ont of the oues-
ton to appoint Poles to offices in
Prussian Poland. tShouts OF Hear,
hear from the Polish deputies
HE said the Poles do not deserve
the confidence of the government.
We. however. are OF the opinion that
the people do not exist for the gov
eminent. but that the government ex-
lists for the people.
| when government pursues such
| a policy that among A population
numbering several millions it cannot
find a few men in whom ii can re-
| pose confidence and in cooperation
with whom it can govern. then this
| selfsame government merely proves
| its utter Incompetence.
"A few more words about Ireland
and Posen. Has any one ever heard
that an Irishman has been forbidden
, to settle in his homeland? You can
not ind such a rhiHg anywhere in The
tWorid. and vel yen propose TO main =
tain this restriction In posen today
after hundreds of thousands of Pole
have bled and died for the Prussian
state.
ireland enjoys the fullest Freedom
in its educational system, and the
Irish NAV found schools where the
I Irish tCeluc) language is taught as
much rs they want to teach it,
In Prussia there is not n single
7 school where the Polish language is
/ taught. There is not ii single private
school where Polish is taught--he-
cause tho government forbids the
i teaching OF the language. even pri-
vate1y.
England has in the last thirty
years expended one billion marks for
the settlement of Irish in Ireland
During the same period Prussia has
expended one billion marks for driv-
ing the Poles from their native soil.

GERMANY'S EAGERNESS
FOR WAR IS PROVEN

Paris. Nov. 25.--An interesting in
sight into the political struggle in
Germany. particularly as regards the
ever widening debate between the
Liberals and Nederates on the one
hand and the pan-Germans on the
other. is offered ahy German news

in this country.

ago published on open letter by DR..
Thomme, librarian of the Prussian
house OF lords, addressed to those
responsible for Germanys debacle,
the approach of which was just then
becoming apparent to all Germans
1T is impossible for me to con-
ceive,' he writes, how the pan-Ger-
man can now have the effrontery to
deny that they worked for the war
with all their might and main. We
could cite dozens of proofs of the
bellicose bent of the Germans in
peace times. That, however, is I'm
necessary since the president of the
pan German league himself has con-
firmed the correctness of these re-
marks credited TO him.
I'VE pan-Germans advised war on
three different occasions:
In 1905 against France.
In 1911 against France and Eng
land.
In 1918 against the Triple En-
tente
In 1914 we wanted the war be
