POLAND FEARED

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "A crisis
is impending here, says a copyright
ed dispatch from Warsaw to The
Philadelphia Public Ledger. The
situation politically and economical
ly has been changing rapidly for the
worse during the last few weeks.
Underground forces are at work
which tend in different ways toward
the disruption OF the government.
The present ministry IS tottering.
The task Of organizing a new stan
with only quarter Of the necessary
personnel, and Of restoring the ruin
ed industries Of the country without
materials and with credit, is proving
too much for the cabinet. The min
listers Of agriculture and approvi-
satiOn have both resigned.
Perhaps the most important factor
in the situation is the food shortage.
Relief supplies from America stopped
last July. The harvest is in, but the
grain is going into the hands OF
profitesrs. In theory, the farmers
should hand over a large portion Of
II to the government in the form
Of taxes.
The government counted on thus
having a sufficient supply to dis
tribute to the poorer population at
the controlled prices. In fact. the
farmers are not paying the taxes.
but are selling the surplus to mid
dlemen. The result is that -four is
trickling into the market at extortion-
ate prices. The poorer population
Of the towns can get nothing for
their bread cards.
Unemployment Is increasing. The
communist agitators are working
hard for a revolution.
