Kitchin on Economy.

Representative CLAUDE KIrcHIN,
having been dumped out Of the chair
manship Of the Committee on Ways
and Means by the American people,
lifted his voice in debate on Friday
to say:
The Republicans have saved not
a penny. The money would have been
saved anyway"
The fact Is that the Republican ma
jority in the House Of Representatives
in the first thirty days of the first ses-
sion OF the Sixty-slxth Congress cut
81, 600 100000 from the amounts de-
handed by Democrats in the execu-
tive departments and bureaus to con-
duct the public business. Republican
congressman checked up the spend
ing programme of the Democrats, and
saved a billion and a half of dollars
for the taxpayers by eliminating from
it unnecessary, wasteful and unjusti
fed proposals.
Once more exhibiting his profound
lack Of acquaintance with the proc
esses Of the Government which pave
his salary. Representative KITcHIN de-
clared that "had the full amounts ap.
propriated by the IDemocratlcl House
last February been made available
only those amounts found necessary
would have been spent"
Representative KIrcHIv lived In
Washington while the Democrats in
Congress were voting appropriations
so enormous their spm made the head
swim and the Democrats in the execu-
tive departments were squandering
the money in way never before re-
corded. Only a man with a positive

gality would ever save cent.

the hopes of the upbuilding of the in
dustrial life of Poland. The Poles
began the development Of some Of
their mineral fields at an early pc
Rod. They worked the zinc mines
near Cracow In the fourteenth CEN
fury and the salt mines Of Wieliczka
In the eleventh century. In fact, the
output Of the Galician salt mines I'M
der the Poles was greater than II has
been undoc Austrian proprietorshlp.
Since the partition Of their kingdom
the Poles have been in large meas
ure cut of from any share In the
mining and manufacturing industries
! Of their provinces, O.
In Russia the Poles were forced to
use coal from Russian mines and salt
from south Russia. While their man.
ufactures made more progress in Rus
sia than elsewhere. they were con.
sidered merely as additions to Rus.
sian Industries and thrived only so
long as they did not become rivals Of
Russian industrial undertakings. In
the Sileslan mineral fields German
capital was chiefly employed and Ger
mans controlled the industry. The
efforts Of the Poles to develop manu-
features In Galicia were met by a
decree Of the Austrian Government
which compelled the sending Of all
their goods to Vienna to be stamped
by the authorities there before they
could be sold In Galicia. The natural
result Of these restrictive measures
was to stifle Polish efforts, but with
all artificial obstacles removed the
Poles believe that they will be able
to develop in time a high degree Of
industrial activity.
The boundaries fixed for Poland
include the mining districts Of the
former Polish kingdom, thus furnish
ing practically all the minerals re-
quired In modern Industries; they In
clude also the rich agricultural lands
Of the Polish provinces and the manu-
featuring centres where Polish indus

Poland a seIf-supporting state.

That Poland can be made an eco.
nomically independent nation has
been the contention of its friends and
the advocates of its reestablishment
upon Its former territorial limits.
They have, however, usually given
prominence to the success attained
under rather adverse circumstances
by the Poles In Warsaw and other
manufacturing towns in Russian Pc.
land and to the high development by
Polish farmers of the agricultural
lands of Austrian Gslicla and Prus-
sian Posen.
Premier PADEREwsKI recently spoke
of Poland as still essentially an ag-
rlcultural land" but as seeking an
industrial life through the develop
ment of it's natural resources. The
place which agriculture has among
the Polish people is largely due to the
political conditions under which they
have labored. In Prussian Poland 1t
was to the interests of the Govern
ment that industries should not de-
velop In Polish hands; but as the az
ricultural products of the Polish prov
inces were necessary to Prussia she
did not interfere with this side of
Polish activity. Agriculture thus be-
came the one industry to which the
Poles could devote themselves with
out governmental opposition. In Aus
TRAN Poland the conditions were SINH
lar; the railways were built, not for
commercial but strategic purposes,
and discriminatory regulations were
imposed upon the Polish province of
Gallcia that made other industries
than agriculture practically prohibl.
tive IL they endangered those of the
German provinces.
In a recent address before the
Royal Geographical Society of Lon
don Miss NJ. A. CzAPLICKA directed
attention to the rich mineral deposits
that will be Incorporated in Poland
and the part they will have in the
economic rebuilding of the nation.
The mineral wealth Of Poland, she
says, will consist of coal, iron, lead,
zinc, copper and silver. To this can
be added the petroleum wells and the
rock salt mines of Galicia. The out
put of the Galician oil wells before
the war supplied the need of the Aus
tro-Hungarian Empire and allowed a
considerable quantity for export. The
output Of coal in the Polish district
of Austria, the Cracow-Sllesian basin,
in 1913 was 100000 tons.
1t was to these mineral resources
that Premier PADEMwsKI referred as
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-30

ing that she appears to the world in
n fine light.
Germany's punishment depends
largely upon Germany. II she has
the grace nationally to accept her sen
tence, to discard forever the Junker
dreams of a colonial government for
which the German-and particularly
the Prussian-characte is totally I'M
fit, to forget the silly ambitions Of the
aristocacy for world dominion, to
continue order among a naturally or
derby people, to stop hating, to quit
the bad manners which she has ex-
hibited toward the rest Of the world
since the formation Of the German
Empire-if she does these things and
meanwhile goes to work as she knows
how to work and tries to pay her
debts she may be happy vet.
So much for the terms Of peace,
which might have been agreed upon
months ago had 1t not been for the
determination Of Mr.. WILSON to weave
among the paragraphs Of the treaty
his covenant Of League Of Nations
framed to please Europe at the ex-
pense Of the United States; a cove
nant no more necessary for the quick
restitution Of peace than Colonel
