mess operations to normal

SURRENDER OF LAND

ECONOMIC DAMAGE
Prince Lichnowsky Deplores
Any Proposal Of
Surrender.
(By The Association Press.)


Berlin, Tuesday, Feb 4.-"The sur
rendering of any portion of German
territory to Poland would mean not
only that, that portion woul dbe drag
ged down to the level of a less eff
cient, less orderly. and less developed
economic administration, with it's re-
sultant great economic damage to the
inhabitants of the lands affected, but

This conviction was expressed to
the Association Press by Prince Lich-

to Great Britain, in the course Of a
long conversation concerning peace
questions. Prince Linchnowsky is a
large estate owner of Upper -Silesia
and lives there most of the year.

but the cities and villages, he says,
are preponderately German, as are
also nearly all the industries and
large land holdings.
He contends that the Poles here
are not real Poles, as they do not
even speak Polish, but Dialect.
The material condition even of the
Poles themselves, according to Prince
Lichnowsky, would become much
worse if they came under what he
termed "Polish anarchy and they
were cut off from Germany. Indus.
