WHAT THE POLES THINK OF
AMERICA
Copenhagen, May "a. !.

Every issue can be looked at
from more than one point Of
view, and this is also true of the
present Polish war against
Ukraine; in a general sense it
may be truthfully said that it is
a war of conquest far less than q
war in the interest of exalted
ideals. and yet there are NOM
ents when you hesitate in de-
nouncing the Polish motives. For
while il is true that the resur-
rected nation is waging war
against a neighbor for the mere
sake Of territorial expansion it
is also fact that the fight is d.
rected against the ever-spreading
menace Of Bolshevism.
4 Concrete Example.
Here is an illustration of what
happens under Bolshevist auspi-
ces;;' the story which | am about
to tell is given on the authority
Of two gentlemen who attended
the meeting in question, and
there is no reason to doubt their
veracity:
A few days before the Poles
captured Kieff. the doctors.
school teachers. and engineers
working there in the Bolshevist
service were informed that the
Soviet government had decided
that the ''intelligentzia" should
be represented in the Soviets as
well as the workmen. peasants
and soldiers. and in accordance
with this decision they were in
vited to attend a meeting to
elect such representatives.
As they were naturally anxious
to see what would be the out
come Of such a conference. all the
educated people who had entered
government service IN order to
make their living. flocked to the
meeting. The chairman a COM
munist announced that the first
business would be to appoint an
electoral committee. and read out
a list Of the candidates for which
the meeting was intended to
vote. Some of the more indie,
dent members Of the conference
proposed a counter-list in the
name Of the Menshevists (the

minority, but this move Gre
ated a great deal Of consterna-
ton among the communists, and
one Of them harangued the meet
ling and gave it to understand
that that was not what they were
there for; that after two years
the workmen and peasants had
decided in the most liberal spirit
to invite the minority of the
trades and professions to take
part in their councils, and it was
for them to accept the privilege
in the proper spirit.
Red Guards Appear.
A Menshevist replied that the
workmen and peasants had new
err been consulted either last year
or this year, or at any time. On
this the communists scenting
the spirit of incipient revolt
sent out for a detachment of Red
Guards from the Tcherezvetchai-
ka (the extraordinary commits
sion), who appeared in the rear
of the room armed with bayonets
and revolvers. and the chairman
once more addressed the meeting
declaring in significant tones that
the vote certainly would show
who were the enemies, and who
the loyal subjects of the "peo-
pies government"
A number of the weaker spir-
its left the meeting, and the vot-
ing then took place, the chairman
going from row to row noting the
names of those who had voted
with the minority. In spite of
this, there was a majority for the
Menshevist candidates. and the
result of the vote caused an up
rear among the communists who
with the Red Guards, broke up
the meeting.
The next day the Soviet Ex-
ermtivc government annullel the
vote!
When you hear authentic stor-
les Of this kind. you begin to
think that the Poles have at
least a show Of justification. pro-

the sordid one of conquest.

The Tscheks looked for friends
among other Allied nations and
devoted themselves prac-
tically to the Amer
leans with the result that Pre-
sident Wilson became sort Of
patron saint of Tscheko-Slovakia,
ample evidence Of which was the
very frequent appearance of por-
traits showing President Masar-
yk and the American executive
side by side. But the Poles
chose France. and it is undenia-
BILE that the Frenchmen are more
popular in Poland than any other
people.
AS far as the United States is
concerned, leading Poles fear
that the international situation,
susceptible to the slightest poll
teal fluctuations, may deterior-
ate with bad results for Poland
! if America continues to hesitate
in concluding peace with Germa-
ny. They think that the aloof-
ness of the United States will
constitute a menace to their own
security, for even though they
seem to prefer the French, they
are shrewd enough to perceive
that they cannot exist without
the active support of American
friendship and sympathy.
Doubts as to Future.
While a predominating trait Of
Polish thought just now it the
lust for conquest, it must be re-
membered that there are still a
number of quiet and thoughtful
men scattered all over the coun-
try, who are not in harmony with
the prevailing views. They are
filled with misgivings concerning
the future of their native land,
and they are especially pessimis-
tic because of the ostentatious
display of militaristic and imper-
ialistic tendencies They think
