Uncle Harry Talks Aboul Poland
and the Peace Conference

I greatness in centuries gone by, and OF
the cruel iniustices and dsmember-
ment which she suffered at the hands
OF her autOcratic neighbors.
in the matter Of liberality in gov
ernment, Poland was the first country
/ to pass a law providing that no man
should be imprisoned unless legally
convicted. This measure was passed
| in t430 two centuries and a half before
England, and three centuries and a half
| before France took similar steps. The
/ Polish COmnittee OF 1908 was the
worlds first application Of a democrat
ic parliamentary system. And in 1913
the year in which the massacre Of st.
BarthSomew took place, the Polish
Senate provided freedom Of worship
for every creed in the country.
'ln 1772, when Prussia, Austria and
Russia ruthlessly threw Nthemselves
upon Poland and took great portions
OF her territory, the. latter country COW
cred an area Of 100000 square miles,
almost 100000 miles more than the
Germany OF today. The population
was eleven and a half millions. In 1913
the same three nations made a secohd
onslaught and robbed Poland Of an
other big portion Of her original tp.-
ritory.
But, despite a century and a half
Of political slavery, at the outbreak Of
the war, there was a compact mass OF
5o,OOO,OOO people in Europe speaking
the Polish language and, wnatever
rules might claim dominion over them.
they were one nation in spirit and in
their intense love Of liberty.
To-day, at the conclusion OF the
greatest war in all history we find PO-
land in a hearCending state OF ruin
During the last four years the country
has been little more than a battle
ground over which huge armies Of
millions Of men fought forward and
backward. All OF Russian Poland. al
most the whole OF Austrian Poland and
even a part OF prussian Poland have
been reduced to a state Of ruin. Three
hundred towns and twenty thousand
villages have been razed to the ground.
and an area equel in size to the States
OF Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York
and Maine together has been laid
waste. 1t seems as though the catas-
trophe OF the great war has been the
final crushing blow to a nation that has
borne the burden Of oppression fo
centuries.
But history has proved that the
spark OF liberty in the hearts Of peo-
pie cannot be extlnguished. And the
world today can make reparauon %
