Paderewski Has Not
Lost His Popularity
N STORY comes from Warsaw
Is y that Paderewski, premier of
Poland, has lost his popularity; that
Madame Paderewski has supplanted
him in political leadership.
But that is canard. Paderewski
lis man of uncommon capacity. He
was great pianist, but he proved
to be even greater patriot and
great statesman. Poland has needed
u strong leader in her crisis, and
Paderewski has been the man of the
hour.
He was the most popular pianist in
the world. No virtuoso ever COM
manded such large pay, but he was
patriotic first, and gave up his i'm
mense income for the sake of his
country
Paderewski is an idol of the Polish
people,; and he will long remain the
premier of Poland.
