to secure speedy. practical results.
This law, which was originated by
me, responds to the vital demands of
the farmers who desire to own the
land. II all the land were placed
upon the market, the peasants would
buy it within two years. Private
property remains. and the aim is to
bring about a gradual change. Me-
dunn and large estates will assume
the character of small holdings by
farmers, the maximum being 400 hec-
tares (99S acres), and the minimum
ten hectares (24.7 acres). below which
it is Improbable to operate. Most of
the new holdings will be more than
ten hectares, thus not prejudicing
production. The State Farmers
Credit Bank will finance the pur-
chase of land and equipment
The differences between the prov

from the war with the soviets. I'M

WARSAW, Poland, October r.
After six years of wars devastation
and decentralization, Poland has begun
an era of peace. Whether the peace
is to be permanent or only a tenn
porary respite while her opponents
gather strength to renew the conflict
next spring, Poland will have at least
an opportunity to breathe and turn to
the work of saving something from
the wreck and of reconstruction.
Poland's desperate financial position
demands Immediate attention. Many
Polish officials have told the writer
that the United States alone can rem
der the vital assistance necessary to
prevent a catastrophe almost as bad
as the red invasion. Poland faces the
coming winter with a harvest that
was lean to begin with and was con-
siderably lessened by enemy depre-
datlons. There is also the need of
unifying three provinces that were
developed under three distinct Gull
lures.
Fourteen parties are trying to solve
these problems. Premier Witos seems
, to be the leader in harmonizing
the conflicting elements everywhere,
smoothing over the incipient civil
wal III ufduuenZ, quoting tne lTilld-
ton in Posen and striving to bring
, together the conflicting elements in
the Polish congress. Witos hurried
to the devastated regions of eastern
Galicia to supervise the distribution
of food and farm implements. Being
farmer of the small landowner type,
he is premier because he has behind
him the powerful vote of the farmer
element. He wears high top boots in
peasant style. but they are Of the
best quality. He wears plain suit of
farmers clothes with his trousers
tucked into his boots, but the suit
was made by an excellent tailor. He
wears a boiled" shirt, with no neck
tie, but the shirt is Immaculate. He
wears a soft hat even to the diet
or in the ministry, but the hat is of
the finest quality. There is no "hay-
seed in his hair; indeed, he is one
