THE VAST MIGRATION.

On several occasions the allied governments have taken
of the fact that the world need not expect to be
peace until there is peace in Russia. That is true now
at the moment when the enemy has peace his lips and
in his heart The sgning of the treaty at Versailles
marks change of legal relationships, but change OF
heart ehe rsde 1t does not insure peace the Rus
sian borders does it safeguard Russia against Ger
man penetration and exploitation In respects Il
treaty facilitates German aims against Russia.
There are ways in which the Germans could be pre-
vented from acquiring Russia if the allies would act
promptly and adequately. One is by the erection of
Poland strong enough maintain its independence and in
tegrty against Germany The other by the creation Of
strong Russia.
The peace conference has not done very well in dealing
with Poland The Polish republic has been denied terri
tory which belonged to it, and it must submit to pebs
cite in other territory where German intrigue and propa
ganda have full play. Danzg which belongs to Poland
and to be assigned to her. has been kept from her at
the behest of Germany The allies listened to German
protests against sending Gen. Haers army through Dan
zig and the moment the Germans discovered that the al
lies were yielding they increased the scope and intensity
of their demands with the result that they emerging
from the with excellent advantages their plans for
conqeurng Russia Thanks to the preoccupatons of the
leading figures at the peace conference Germany has kept
the eastern situation in the background by concentrating
the attention of the allies the western settlements.
Mr. Lloyd George has been watching the question of Brit
sh naval supremacy and disposition of German colonies
Mr. Wilson has been shaping the covenant of the league
of nations and Mr. Cemenceau has been watching the
western front There has been no in the council of
four specially interested in Poland the eastern front
Consequently Poland is weak, with uncertain territorial
boundaries suffering from internal disorders nstigaed
by the Germans and threatened with war if she dares
oppose the Huns in their march toward Russia
When Mr.. Paderewsd pointed out this situation in
Paris he was told that the league of nations would protect
Poland against external aggression Let the league
show itself equal to damming the flood of Germans rolling
eastward over Poland into Russia.
AS for building up Russia the allies have done little
as they could instead of graspng the situation at the
critical moment They wasted many months, which the
Germans and their bolshevk accompces utilized in prop

Jewish pogroms in Poland lies made in Germany.
