London. March 6.-Presidcnt Wilson S
speech at New York occupies a promi-

umns OF the papers here. Some editors
see in American domestic politics the
key TO the Senate episode. The Tclc-
graph says:
Mr.. wilson's opponents in the Sen
ate have not, as matter of fact, bound
themselves to any course of action too
firmly to adopt another IL the President
makes good with American public opin-
ION in the end. All depends upon the
sense in which that opinion may make
itself manifest when the treaty of peace
and the league of nations have been
given final form. Therefore, for the
present, we must leave this strange aud
uncertain situation"
European democracics arc watching
to see whether the impulse which
brought America to their side for the
purpose of finishing the war will keep
her at their side for the purpose of
rearing the fabric of a war-free world" "
says the Chronicle CLloyd George Lib
eraD 'they are not watching without
anxiety, for they know that American
cooperation is Indispensable II the fab

The News tradcal and paciiisD says:
Mr.. Wilson's appeal for Americas CO.
operation in the salvation Of the world
is as irresistible as his indictment of
the selfish particuarism of the opponents
of the league Is unanswerablc.
Constitutionally, the opposition of this
solid block of Republicans in the Senate
looks formidable. Actually, as Presi-
dent Wilson confidently recognizes. the
issue is with the people, for no Senate
could refuse to ratify treaties establish

Weimar, Wednesday March O. tBy
a. rD---In the discussion of the Polish
question in the German National Assem-
bly, today Matthias Erzbcrgcr. chairman
- the German armistiCo commission.
criticized the old German Government
severely Tor its policies toward the Poles,
which consistently alicnatod them. Scv-
cral speakers supported the views Of Err
berger, but tho majority argued that
the Polish attitude toward Germany was
one e injustice aud iugrdtitudc.
Herr Erzbcrger said that the present
government whs anxious to help the Ger
mans in German Poland The speaker
SAID he wished that Germany had been
rairer to the Poles at the beginning of
the present situation. which in that case
now would be more favorable to Ger
many.
Tie government, the speaker con
tinued, intended to- make demands FOR
the protection of the German minori-
tics in other states, but 1t cannot claim
this right unless the Germans protect
the minority populations within Ger
many. Herr Erzberger concluded by
saying that the behavior of the German
troops in Posen in November had hurt
German prestige with the Poles greatly.
He mentioned that IN one instance sew
eral thousand German soldiers and ofi-
GERS had fled before 500 poorly armed
men and poorly disciplined Poles.
