Warsaw, Jan. 18-(By the Associat-
ed Press. )-Enited Poland appears
| today a new country, with every mind
: turned to the future and trying to for
get the past. 1t is as if the people had
| come out of a night mare. Now they
y are smiling and the business men are
r beginning to make plans Tor the boom
they are sure is ahead. They realize
( that Poland has, through Allied vic
! tory, been given the priceless boon
OF liberty and that they will o % be
q able to enjoy it's benefits, despite the
many difficulties yet to be faced this
winter.
. One of the most significant facts is
hat the prices Of commodities are
beginning to drop, just as they did in
Prague a 8 November with the in
auguration Of the Czecho-Slovak gov
eminent. Subscriptions to the new
loan amounted to 10000 0 marks the
first day Of the nva and are
& mounting hourly.
!, Even those parties which have not
been entirely cemented by the efforts
Of Ignace Jan Paderewski, president
and foreign minister in the new coali-
! ton cabinet who has appealed to his
countrymen to be Poles first and par
Sty men afterwards. are now forget
fttng their old differences. AS an in
, stance, the conservative parties of the
: three Polands met today and agreed
to pull together in the future.
The socialist parties, which united
: their differences in order to fight
/ Paderewtski, are now divided, with
some sections declaring for the Pade-
rewski government.
Considerable credit is being given
to former Premier M~oraczewski, who
i upon the arrival Of M. Paderewiski
from America stated that he was will
7 ing to retire Is he felt that the latter
i was able to organize a common front
against the Bolsheviki, within and
! without the country and also to, get
help from the Allies, and especially
from the United States. M. Paderew-
iski realizes better than any one else
here that the United States will prove
the best help to new Poland.
Regarding Colonel Edward M.
House, whom he knows we'll, NJ.
L Paderewiski has said at a public meet
ing.
7 "a monument. should be built in
: every Polish town and village to Col
onel House."
Paderewiski is sending notice today
= sof the formation of the ministry to
the Allies and to the state government
S ut Washington.
In view Of the unsettled political
conditions here, the public in general
