ERzBERGER ESPOUSES CAUSE OF POLES IN VIGOROUS ADDRESS

WEIMAR. Wednesday. March D. By Associated Press)-ln the discus sion of the Polish question in the Ger man national assembly today Matthias Eerzberger, chairman of the German armistice commission, criticised the old 1 German government severely for its policies toward the Poles, which con- sistently alienated them. Several speakers supported the views of Erz- berger but the majority argued that the Polish attitude toward Germany was one of injustice and ingratitude. Herr Erzberger said that the treat ment of the Poles by the old govern ment had created a problem, where | otherwise, there would have been none. He said that the present government was concerned with the situation in the east as earnestly as its critics, and
 was anxious to help the Germans in | German Poland. The speaker said he wished that Germany had been fairer to the Poles at the beginning of the l present situation which. in that case now would be more favorable to Ger many.
 The government, the speaker con- tinued, intended to make demands for
 the protection of the German minorities | in other states. but it cannot claim | this right unless the Germans protect
 the minority populations within Ger many. Herr Erzberger concluded by | saying that the behavior of the Ger | man troops in Posen in November had 1 hurt German prestige with the Poles greatly. He mentioned that in one in- | stance several thousand German sol- diers and officers had fled before 800 i poorly armed and poorly disciplined | Poles. | Erzberger Wins Plaudits ! During the debate on the Polish question, Dr. Cohn. independent so- cialist attacked Erzberger partly on personal and partly on political grounds. Erzberger laughinglv de- clined to discuss tho personal charges.
 but took up the more serious of the ! political allegations.
 Quoting fact after fact. the minister
 answered Cohn, frequently branding ! him as a prevaricator. The house { grew wildly excited as Erzberger re- 1 pied to the accusations and was at a | lever pitch when the minister ended. ! The members from all sides gave Erz- | berger an ovation as he concluded | pr. Cohn had charged that 35O.OOO ] Poles had forcihly been brought to | Germany, Erzberger denied this. as | likewise he denied Dr. COhn's allega-
 uons concerning the German defense
 on the east, and also charges against ! him with regard to the Swiss and Ru-
 manian industries during the war.
 "I want your confidence" said Erz- ! berger addressing the chamber. "and
 on that day when I do not have 1t. I
 shall retire from political life. ob- ! Ject 10 the effect of these dirty attacks
 aoroad and the impression that they
 create.-
 Herr Erzberger said among other l things that majority of the measures
 assailed by Dr. Cohn were of inde- | pendent socialist origin.
