New York-Danzig Ship
Line Urged in Poland

WARSAW, Feb. 25 (By The Associ-
ated Press )-The attitude of the
United States regarding Poland's bust
ness problems is question of deep
concern here.
"The key to Polish American busi-
ness is steamship line from New
York to Danzig," said Stanslau Kar-
lowski, director in one Of the promi-
nent banks OF Warsaw, to the Associ-
ated Press to-day. while commenting
on the failure of any American COM
merclal missions to visit Poland.
II prefer the presence of business
men to missions, since the latter mere
ly make reports and the former fix up
matters" he continued. "But a steam
ship line from New York to Danzig
must be based on two suppositions
first. that the peace conference gives
us Danzig, and, second, that we are
able to get our credit guaranteed.
"Once we get Danzig and credits,
steamship line can be easily arranged

last night when the Rev. DR.. S. Parkes
Cadman, pastor of the Central Con-
gregational Church. Of Brooklyn, made
a bitter attack upon the league Of ma

advocating it.
DR.. Cadman termed the proposed
league an expression of "arbitrary and
personal egotism."
"This nation," he asserted, while the
coal merchants shouted their approval,
"obeys laws and not men, The pro

Of publicity to speak for us, but we

And If We
NoW Decline

In sum, the league Of nations cove
nant which Mr.. Wilson takes back to
America is a professional acceptance
by Europe Of American leadership in
the matter of New World organization,
but the acceptance is provisional, Is
conditioned upon the demonstration bv
America that it means in return to
give to Europe that assistance which
alone would make Europe agree with
the principals of the league of ma
tlons. Mr.. Wilson has been offered
by his associates in the Paris confer
ence a document to submit to Ameri-
can referendum. If the referendum
should do what Mr.. Wilson could not
slngly, put America clearly in line to
undertake the responsibility which
have outlined, then European accent
ance of the league of nations cove
nant will be no longer PROVISIONAL; it
Will be de1initive, and we shall pro-
ceea to make peace on a new basis. BY
contrast, if Mr.. Wilson's referendum
falls and America refuses to under
take the duties and responsibilities ex-
pected OF her, the league of nations
project will, to all practical purposes,
be relegated to the waste basket.

What Europe Expects
Mr.: Wilson to Do
By rank II. Simonds

AXIS, Feb. 24.-At the moment
when President Witon is be-
ginning his explanation in Amer
'ca OF the league of nations there is
fl single question which ought to be
clearly answered for the American
pubic. What is it that Europe expects
OF America as consequence of The
formation Of the league of nations?
The answer to this question must.
think, be found first in the view
which obtains both among the French
and the English as to what this cove
nant of the league of nations which
Mr. Wilson has taken back to America
actually is. In substance, the English
and French views are that the covenant
of the league OF nations is a substan-
tial recognition by Europe, by the AL
lies, and primarily by England and
France, of the ideas and principles
which Mr.. Wilson came to Europe to
advocate. Much Of the actual text
and machinery of the present league
of nations covenant is the result of
European contribution, but there would
have been little or nothing of any
league of nations covenant if Mr. Will
son had not come to Europe and made
his consistent and persistent effort.
New-York tribune., 1919-02-28

mics, provided the Germans shall refuse
to accept the principles of the league OF
nations and presently return to their
old methods of militant Imperialism
at this time expressed by republican
rather than Hohenzolern armies.
The whole view of Europe is too
simple, and yet too clear, to be mis-
understood. Mr.. Wilson came to Eu
rope representing himself to be the
spokesman of America, to demand that
Europe should accept American ideas
OF new international association in
which moral rather than physical force
should prevail, and the settlement Of
the last war should be had not on a
basis Of taking extreme military pre-
cautions against the enemy, but on the
basis OF making a just peace, eliminat-
ing causes for future war.
But Europe, on its side. in consent
ing to accept Mr. Wilson's leadership
IN this matter, in consenting to break
with those traditions, in giving Mr..
Wilson sketch Of his league of ma
tlons, which he. has taken back to
America, has done all this with equal
ly clear view Obviously, it would
be unnecessary to take extreme pre-
cautions, territorial and military,
against Germany if for the future all
the vast resources of the United States
were pooled with those of France and
England and Italy in a new associa-
ton in which each member was pre-
pared to do his utmost if any member
were attacked.
The foundation of the league of ma
tions from the European point of view
is a defensive alliance among Eng
land, France, Italy and America for
the purpose Of maintaining the prin-
ciples expressed in the league of ma

posed. According to reports received
here the prospects for the adoption If
this measure by the Munich prolatariat
which would signify q complete breach
with the national government are not
a. strong as formerly.
The Congress has adopted several
radical measures. including one pro
viding for dwellings, for vorkingmen

What Great
Britain Expects

Now, to put it specifically, what does
England expect America to do as a re-
suit of the league of nations? First
of all, beyond any question, England
expects the United States to accept
one or more mandataries to undertake
responsibility for some such people as
the Armenans and to contribute all
the necessary resources in men, ma
terlal and protection to bring about
the organization of this new Arme-
nian state. In other words, England
expects the United States to break
with its traditional policy of isolation
and enter world affairs as a partner in
the organization and in the defence
OF various races which cannot stand
alone. Armepia in Asia and Liberia
in Africa have been two most men
toned for our care.
am satisfied that there will be a
feeling in England that the whole
British policy with respect to the
league of nations has been failure
if the United States shall now, the
league Of nations having been drawn,
fail to take up the responsibilities
which, to the English mind, are in
herent in Americas advocacy of the
league of nations itself. There will
be feeling that America has been
unwilling to make good her brave
words by difficult but necessary la
bors

German Lies Are Spread
I'm Mexico and Bolivia
NcW York Tribune
WOsh1uOtOr Bureou


WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. - German
propaganda is being carried on in
Latin America against the United
States and the Allies, according to
cables to the State Department to-
DAY from Mexico and Bolivia. In both
countries identical stories, malciously
fabricated, have appeared at virtually
the same time.
One charges the French government
with having brutally seized and re-
moved to France from the occupied
German territories 5000 German girls
for the purpose of repopulating
France.
The other story represents the Unit
ed States as having established an en-
barge against Latin American coun-
tries, for which, it was authoritatively
declared at the State Department,
there is absolutely no foundation.
The disposition in official quarters
here is to expect propaganda wherever
there is a German
