FADEREwskl ALWAYS A POLE

st. Louis Republic: At last a man
has risen to place OF power in the
! turmoil of European affairs who moi
only has been in America, but is
known in America. The great Glenn
enceau knows America at first hand
and made his home here for while.
and Leon Trotsky lived In New York
but neither impressed himself on the
American mind in any way.
But Paderewski, who seems to
have unified Poland, fs known by
sight TO millions Of Americans, the
most of whom know him also as a
great artist. Years ago Americans
would have laughed at the notion
that a statesman's brain was under
that flaming shock of hair, but after
the war began Paderewski showed
himself in a new light. He appeared
as a leader OF Polish thought in
America and as an orator of stirring
power. He was a new Paderewski
to Americans. but there was nothing
new In his devotion to Poland
He was expelled from Russia on
twenty-four hours notice for flouting
the car to his face, and that was
many years ago, when the ruler of
all the Russias addressed the young

81 am a Pole" said Paderewsai,
and there being no such thing as
Pole in the cars court, Paderewski
lost all of his valuable enga gements
in Russia and fled to escape worse

He is a Pole, and seems to be in
a fair way to make a new Poland,
where every Poe may proclaim his
race and allegiance with no fear OF
despots.

PUBLIC WoRKs or PUBLIC cHAR1TY.

The war committee of the Union League club
lin Chicago issues a militant call for quick ac-
ltion IN its city and In other cities to promote
public works. The committee says it is ques-
ton of public works or public charity In meet
ling the unemployment problem that is already
in its beginnings. There seems no question that
the committee Is right In It's statement that I'M
employment is already menace; here In Keo-
huk we have on record an official appeal for I'M
employed soldiers, and our soldiers are not yet
home in any great numbers. Moreover, it is
common sense to believe that with the immense
stimulation to labor s numbers and produc-

edge of market conditions staying manufac
turers, with high costs and no clear notion of
where we are to earn the money to pay these
the market for labor is at present curtailed

The appeal of the Union League rests for its
Justice, therefore, on the question whether
public works promoted and developed purely
las means of employment is the best or one

over the period of reconstruction. But the
form OF question promulgated by the commit
tee is somewhat speciously misleading. 1t is
not mere question OF money putting it into
profitable investment. To undertake great
amount OF construction work In excess of
what IS necessary just now is to make the
public pay In excess of profitable investment.
inns excess payment may, because Of its bear
ing on general conditions of employment, be
an excellent one for the American people to
make, but it is not defensible on purely eco
ionIc grounds.
The committee is right in demanding action

deliberately We shall suffer from delaying
antll the problem OF unemployment becomes an
acute emergency. Better far to enter with our
yes open program where excess expendi- /

or forecast of our production program, lot

place IN it. But we cannot longer ignore the I
