Making Jews Scapegoats.

PaderewSki s request for an Amer
lean commission of inquiry into the
treatment of the Jewish population
In Poland is accompanied by de-

pogrOms. When accusations so ex-
plicit and supported oy detailed
evidence are met by an equally ex-
plicit denial it would be we'll If the
truth could be put on record by an
impartial body of investigators.
Paderewski's rejoinder is weakened
appreciably by his own statement
of conditions which would appar-
emily justify or explain the things
that he asserts did not happen.
Even if ii should be admitted for
the sake of the argument that the
Jews of Poland have been promi-
nent leaders in the Bolsheyist move
ment which the Poles are now

completely must not be made the
scapegoats. 1t was precisely the
case in the massacre at Pinsk that
a group of Jewish relief workers
were seized by the military and
shot down without any attempt
at determining whether they were
BOlshevists or not. As it turned
out, the victims were all ardent
Zionists and opponents of Bolshe-
yism. Had the executions followed
upon anything like fair trial and
there would still be room
for inquiry whether national pas

rights of humanity and the public
opinion of the civilized world

Official Courtesy.

The breach OF courtesy, mi
TALLY inaugurated by the Presi-
dent in Withholding the Peace
Treaty from the Senate, was in
tensified, on Monday, by that
body deliberately ignoring Mr..
Wilson's request that the full text
of the treaty should not be given
to the American people. The
Senate, led by Senator BOrah, in
utter disobedienCe of the Presi-
dents expressed wishes, procured
a copy of the treaty which had
clandestinely found its way into
this country, and read il into the
Congressional record. For the
first time in this country. an open
breach exists between the Presi-
dent and the Senate on an Amer
lean question. the issue of which
will affect all citizens alike re-
CARELESS of political affiliations.
Ii is believed by political proph-
cts that Mr.. Wilson will carry the
breach directly TO the people TO
justify him in the course he has
pursued in preferring to fix the
peace terms irrevOCably within
the Peace Conference and ignore
the treaty making body. who like
himself, were selected by the
people. Should the President
take this matter to the people,
the issue will divide them as
never before, and will force
alignments involving the prinCi-
pie of official courtesy. in which
none of the many disputationS.
perhaps, will be we'll founded.
1t is very regrettable. that
either branch of the American
government should have been |
to the Other-but, if |
a vital question is at issue, one or
the other must be at fault, and
the verdict of the American peo-
pie will be required to say which
one it is. The contention. how
ever, that this breach is the out
come of partisan zeal is not ten
