WARSAW. Jan. is BY the Asso-
GATED Press).-Un United Poland appears
to-day new country, with every mind
turned 10 the future and trying to for
get the past 1t is os if the people had
come ou5 OF a nightmare Now their
faces arc smiling, and the business men
are beginning TO make plans for the
boom they are sure is ahead.
They realize that Poland has had the
priceless boon Of liberty handed to
her By the Allied victory. and that they
viii soon be able to enjoy the benefits
Of it, despite the many difficulties yet
10 he faced this winter
One OF the most significant facts is
that the prices of commodities in the
markets and stores are beginning to
drop. just as they did in Prague last
November with the inauguration of the
Czecho- Slovak government. Subscrip-
tons to the new loan amounted to
100000 marks the first day of the can
yass and are mounting hourly.
Differences Being Settled.
Even those parties which have not
been entirely cemented by the efforts
OF lgnace Ian Paderewski. Premier in
the new coalition cabinet. who has ap-
pealed 10 his countrymcn to be Poles
first and party men ofterward, are now
forgetting their old differences. As an
instance the conservative parties of the
three Poands met to-day and agreed
to pull together in the future. The So
cialist parties. which united their diff
ferences iii order to fight Nj. Paderew-
ski. are now divided. with some sec
tions declaring for the Padcrewski gov
eArment
Considerable credit is being given to
former Premier Moraczewski, who from
the errival of NJ. Paderewski stated
that he was willing to retire, as he
felt that NJ. Paderewski was able to
present common front to the Boil
shev,ki within and without the coun-
Allies and especially from the United
States
NJ. Paderewski realizes better than
any one else here that the United
States will prove the best help to new
Poland

", Paderewski is sending notice to-
day OF the formation of the new minis
try 10 the Allies and to the State De-
partment at Washington.
In, view of the unsettled political
conditions here, the public in general
g've especial credit to NJ. Paderewski
ior his personal victory in overcoming
ia. feuds. It is worthy to record that
tie fact that he is an artist passed un-
ncted, il occurring TO nobody to op-
pose him on that ground, with the ar
gllnent that he therefore was untitled
f2rs statesman's job.
Famed as a Patriot
he has known Poland more as a
patriot than as man who became
wealthy abroad through his individual
efforts. He and his wife are much be-
loved for their kindly characters and
lheir charities since their arrival here
His greatest task was to handle Cen
eral Joseph Pilsudski, the military
head Of the country. who wished to
pernit u. Paderewski to form new
ministry but was afraid of precipitat-
ine c'vil war because of the threats
