Bending, but Angle Not Given

Brother Cox weakens as a. flat rati-
ficationist. In Wednesdays speech he
confded to his hearers that the
Democratic platform, with respect to
the Wilson covenant, does not "as-
sumo an unbending attitude" Then
he added:
"We will accept any reservations I
that will work to the cause of world
peace, but we will reject any that
will work harm or injury to the
cause of worldwide peace"
These sentences make the whole
matter as transparent as mud. The
Democratic party, it appears, leans
against the bar of public opinion.
But at what angle? How far will it
bend? 1t is impudent to ask such
questions. Only enemies of peace
will utter them, and it is time to
switch off the light.
Some reservations are to be ac-
cepted and others rejected. But in
which class particular reservation
falls Mr.. Cox gives no inkling.
His ouija board does not tell him. It
stumbles and stops inarticulately.
"I'll bet you 20 to l you can't tell
me what single NUMBER" says the
circus confidence man, 'I'm thinking
Of" The easy-mark puts up his
money and guesses, say, No. a. "You
lose," says the confidence man; cit
was g."
Yet The Tribune's mail attests
that there are persons who don't see
what it means when man saws he
is Cor acceptance of the covenant and
then refuses to state on what terms
and conditions. Senator Harding is
reproached for indefniteness be-
cause unwilling to promise exactly
what he will do. But, in view of his
record Of voting twice for ratifica-
ton with specific reservations, his
attitude is clear when compared with
that of his opponent.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-28

The French government has CONN.,
seled the Poles I'd take the hest
strategical positions possible on
their eastern front, regardless of the
tentative "ethnographical frontier. :"
That is sound advice. The ethno-
graphical frontier is peace frontier
not war one. Poland was invaded
and Warsaw narrowly escaped cap
ture. Precautions must be taken
against second Russian invasion
IN case Trotzky is able to reorganize
the Red armies and to continue the
war.
A Polish advance beyond Brest-
Lltovsk does not imply permanent
occupation of the territory entered.
The frontier would be established
by the settlement. But Poland can
make a better defense on the Brest-
Lltovsk sector, the weakest point on
her front, if she occupies a line fur
ther to the east, at the western exits
from the Pripet. swamps. General
Weygand has urged the Poles not
to repeat their earlier blunder Of
overextending their eastern front.
But he says that if peace is not
made this fall they will have to
take up better positions than thew
can find in the neighborhood Of
Brest-Litovsk.
The Allies have made the mistake
in dealing with Russia Of bringine
pressure at only one point at
time, thus allowing the Moscow
regime TO concentrate it's strength
there. American and British troops
went to Archangel, but were with
drawn after the Bolsheviki checked
their advance. Allied troops were in
Siberia for many months. Yet thew
were Of little assistance to Kolchak
when his army was attacked bv
superior Red forces and routed
Denikine was left later to face
crushing Soviet concentration, and
Yudenitch was also compelled to 90
1t alone when he got almost within
gunfire Of Petrograd, and was then
enveloped by new Red armies.
Wrangel is starting a new cam
paign in the south. He will be
exposed to a Bolshevist attack in
superior numbers if the pressure on
the Red front opposite Poland is
now suspended and the Poles stand
still on the indefensible Brest-
Litovsk boundary. The Allied gov
ernments rightly decline to make
peace with the Moscow dictatorship.
But if they go that far they must
do more. Real peace cannot come
until the Soviet present tyranny is
overthrown. And its fall can be
brought about most certainly by
unifcation of military effort, which,
by threatening the Reds on two
fronts, will make it difficult for them
to figure out a victory on either.
The warning Washington has sent
to the Poles not only shows that the
President would be a futile general,
but has yet only half conception
Of how to secure peace.

Lloyd George and Poland
British Policy Charged With Shift
ness and Caprice

UcSS ana OupTtCc
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Vaccinations of Lloyd
George, together with his inconsistent
policies, are revelation of the inside
workings Of British diplomacy His
attitude toward Poland has at times
been one Of insulting antagonism, and
then again 1t consisted Of an appar-
emily forced toleration as Of some un-
controllable evil. It varied with cir
cumstances.
He opposed the Polish claims at the
peace conference, not because Poland
WAS not entitled to a return Of ter
ritories forcibly annexed by Germany,
Austria and Russia, but because of
British jealousy Of France. He knew
that the country Of Joan Of Arc SYM
pathized with the land of Paderew-
ski, and feared that an alliance Of
France with powerful Poland would
lessen England's influence on the Con-
tinent. SO the world saw England, the
supposed champion of Belgium's ince-
pendence, obstructing Poland at the
most critical period of the Bolshevist
INVASION 1t was astounded at Lloyd
Georges declarations to the British
Parliament, at the time it appeared
certain that Warsaw would be cap
tured and looted by the Reds, that the
Poles deserved severe punishment at
the hands Of the As}atc hordes. Physi-
cal help from France, in the form Of
munitions, was not permitted by the
British to land at Danzig, although
the unrestricted use of this Polish
port was guaranteed to Poland by the
peace conference.
Poland then had the choice of en-
bracing Bolshevism with England's
sanction and consent or suffering an
inhalation and national extinction. Un-
fortunately for the British Premier.
the Cossacks and other mercenaries of
Trotzky could not withstand the test
when confronted by the gallant sons
and daughters of freedom-lovin
land. The Trotzky- Hun plans were
thwarted
Poland has been buffeted about like
cork on an angry sea. She has been
kicked around like a play.hing. Her
destinies were linked, against her will,
with the policies Of an sportsmanlike,
unscrupulous British politician. At
last, however, the men, women, poys
and girls Of bleeding Poland have torn
the mask of duplicity from the face
Of the arch traitor of libeSty. With
his back against wall he was COM
PEELED to show his hand. And what o
miserably false hand It was!

Thus the writer whose "conver-

as a splendid moral victory by the
prophets Of the creedl If Gorky
ever entertained illusions he seems
to be through with them, for he con-
tinues: "Never in the history Of

dishonesty, as we are working to-

from a man who was one of the bit
