QUESTION IN
POLAND IS
NOT RELIGION
Tuternilch Declares That
Politics Are Only
Involved.

Warsaw, Thursday, Dec. 1s.-(By
The Associated Press.)-In discussing
the political situation in Poland, es-
pecially as regards the Jews. Prof. P.
Tutermilch, a Polish editor and writ
er, said today:
1.-THE present pogrom agitation has
been seized upon by the Jews at the
expense of the Polish nation for the
purpose of influencing the peace con-
gress. The Jews expect to obtain ma
tionality concessions.
"The Jewish question in Poland is
not religious, since we have never in
terferred in that direction. 1t is po-
litical. What they really purpose to
do through their nationalist party is
not only to get schools but to have
their own courts of justice and also
their own parliament. They really
wish to form state within state.
yet they intend also to take, part of
our own political life. 1t is absurd.
"As for the pogrom situation, it is
mostly propaganda For instance.
two months ago in Cracow read that
there had been pogroms in Warsaw.
I found that the only foundation for
the story was that there had been a
quarrel between two butchers, one a
Jew and the other a Christian"

session of the senate committee in
vestigating German propaganda, be-
tween the Missouri senator and Alfred

Mr.. Becker refused to answer ques-
tions by Senator Reed as to the iden-
riey general of New York to get infor-
nation concerning the German propa-
ganda system. Senator Reed de-
manded that the committee instruct
the witness to answer.
Becker asked the senator If he de-
sired to have information on "mat-
ters relating to his client, Mr.. Hearst" "
whereupon Senator Reed told the
committee that Mr.. Becker's reply
had been framed in an insolent man
ner and denied that he was appear

Hearst is my client" asked Senator
Reed.

was what your testimony has been all
the way through this case and it does
not reflect on your veracity. I am
here in the interest of trying to de-
velop some truth through a maze of
testimony that has been distorted
Mr.. Becker based his refusal to an
swer the question on the ground that
it was secret service work and secrecy
was essential to. its success. He said
that he had known that "the Hearst

months to find out the names of the

he represented the committee and had
