Poland Must Not BIun,ier

THROUGH the grace and the military

Poland is once more restored 10 the map its
autonomy established and the independ ence
OF its people guaranteed. It, therefore,
makes fresh star, as a nation a fortunate
future spreads out before it, if its people

ment and necessary enlightenment regard

world must be guided, in the years 10 come

cused Of brutal massacres Of Jews living
within her borders. 1, has denied that such
outrages were committed except in isolated
cases and by aroused communities over
which the new government a. the time had
no control But the fact remains that there
is pronounced ant-Semitic sentiment in
Poland; that there is violence in tina, feeling
and that there have been murderoug out
breaks for which mere apologies will not
answer
There Is degree Of reinsurance, however
IN the attitude OF Premier Padercwski TO-
ward the pogroms which have marked the
earlier stages OF Polish freedom. He has
given the American government to under
stand that he will pass into Poland any
American commissions, duly accredited which
desire personally TO investigate the assaults
upon Polish Jews This Prime Minister a,
the beginning of the agitation against these
attacks. belttled them. He refused 10 be-
lieve, or at least to admit they were serious
enough TO merit the attention Of the outside
world
But Paderewski has heard echoes OF the
thunderous protest which has been sounded
by the Jews Of America and OF England and
OF France He has come TO realize. no doubt
that his government and his country cannot
win the respect or the support Of such ma
lions as our own II it fails 10 take the utmost
measures for the protection OF Polish Jews
and for the lives and property Of men and
women OF every race abiding within tho
limits or the new republic. No nation, old
or new, can have faithful relationship with y
Tegenerated world IL it fails TO meet the
decent obligations imposed on It, The Arneri-
can people wish Poland well. They have con.
Tionted much to safeguard It's rights to
restore its sovereignty and TO aid it's guTcr-
ing people, and it will be genuine mis-
fortune IT the Poles do not keep America 8
