A Week of Verse
The House Opposite

~ ~~>~CS O0PO9lSG
GROW The ToxeAstess)
I WONDER why they build them q
n house,
Little and low and gray,
With tiled red roof and shadowy caves.
In an old Italian way!
And wonder whether its charm,ne
face,
Strange to this restless street
Smiles into eyes that see Italy,
Hurries their homevard feet?
The shabby tent Of occasional blue.
Set over their sharp roof-trec--
Does it suddenly seem to their home
sick hearts
The sky Of Tuscany?
At the foolish door Of their h.nnv
house
In the shafted city gloom
Lingers-ah, lingers!-like love IN
spring,
An almond bush a-bloom!
And does every breath Of the breaking
May,
Wanton and warm and dear,
Waken the image Of distant dreana
Whose altar they cherish here?
/ wonder why they build them q house
Little and gray and low?
Is it for love and for Italy :
Or because it happened so?

Our Polish Policy
By John Spargo

Will you permit ono who is q
very old friend of the cause of Polish
independence, and equally a friend of
Russian democracy, to dissent from your
editorial comment-in the issue Of Au-
gust 27-upon Secretary Colbys "warn-
ing" to Poland, which you declare to
have been in "ill taste" and "neither
moral nor wise"? I imagine that very
few Polish democrats will agree with
you or regret Secretary Colby's action.
Personally, am of the opinion that by
counselling Poland to keep within the
photographic limits Professionally set
by the Treaty of Versailles the United
States has once more demonstrated a
wise friendship for both Poland and
Russia.
I use the word "advice," rather than
the sterner word "warning," because in
the absence of the complete text of the
communication to Poland l am ready to
back my opinion that there was no
warning" in the diplomatic sense, but
simply friendly advice, and that no:
altogether unsolicited. Poland, in the
moment of her peril, had appealed for
support and assistance. The United
States, in defining it's Russo Polish
policy, had declared, with equal and I'M
mistakable emphasis, its entire friend
ship for Poland and for Russia. 1t was
Of the essence of that most admirable
declaration that the United States could
only give its moral support, and such
material support as might be within its
power, to the Poles for the express pur-
pose Of securing their independence and
untrammeled sovereignty within the
photographic limits which Poland had
herself accepted as just. Upon the
strength of that declaration new ap-
peals were made to the United States by
Poland, and those appeals conceded with
the remarkable military recovery of Po-
land and her brilliant and successful
counter offensive.
The S'Red Bridge''
In these circumstances, then, the
United States had every right to init
mate to Poland that it would be both
unwise and dangerous to permit her sue
cAssful military defensive to develop
into an offensive movement against Rus
sia; and that in the event of this being
done the government of the United
States could not in honor give the sup
port which Poland sought, and which, by
the way, would inevitably have to be
greater than ever to meet the needs Of
war fought within Russian territory.
What is the essential kernel of the
problem, after all? In your own col
umns it has been stated In the most
extreme terms, time after time, by
MIR. Frank H. Simonds, as we'll a. in
your editorial columns. 1t is the
danger that Poland will fall under
the control of the forces now ruling
and running Russia; that there will
be RED bridge" between Soviet Rus
sia and Europe. 1t was no idle boast
that made Kameneff declare that from
Warsaw the Communists intended to
march triumphantly westward. 1t was
Aet idle bombast that mads Rsdsk H.

darity with the Russian Bolsheviki.
Even now, as it is, there are strong
Communist elements in Poland-as in
every other European country-and my
information is that there exists still
Communist "Revkom''-that is, revo-
lutionary committee-ready to rally its
forces to work in unison with those Of
Soviet Russia. 1t seems quite clear,
then, that if the military-imperialist
party in Poland should have its way
and transform the war again into
war of invasion of Russia, Bolshevism,
now held in check by the Socialists who
are working with all other groups for
the national defense, will spread over
Poland. Do you mean to assert that it
is immoral and unwise for the United
States to emphasize this danger to CIV
ilization by advising the Poles against
policy Of aggression against Russia
/, on the contrary, assert that our
government has done great service,
not to Poland alone, but to all civliza-
ton, by giving that advice.

Permit me to turn now to the second
part of the program above outlined
the need of weakening the Lenine- Trotz-
ky regime and Strengthening the anti
Bolshevist forces in Russia. Here, again.
it seems to me, our Secretary of State
is on safe and sure ground. Here, too,
not less than in it's grasp of the internal
Polish situation, the policy of the United
States is conspicuous by its wisdom and
practical sense. 1t is quite clear
much clearer, indeed, than most features
of the problem-that nothing has ever
happened to strengthen the iniquitous
Bolshevist regime in Russia in any de-
gree commensurate with the Polish in
vasion Of Russia. The national spirit
in Russia, that very love of Russia which
made them hate the Bolshevist regime
and struggle against it, caused the very
flower of Russian manhood to unite
against the invading Poles, even under
the leadership of the hated Bolsheviki,
and to bury, in the interest Of the fight
against the external foe, all internal
differences. This is now almost uni
versally admitted.
To detach the. Bolshevist, demo-
cratic element from their temporary and
enforced alliance with the hated Boil
sheviki must be the aim of all states
men who would help Russia to recover.
This cannot be done unless and until
there is full assurance by the great
powers that they will not attempt to
secure their own safety by weakening
Russia and making her restoration as
great and powerful nation SO difficult
as to be wellnigh impossible, nor permit
Polish imperialists to do so for their
purposes. Here, again, the policy an
nounced by Secretary Of State Colby is
essentially sound and based upon a pro-
found understanding of long neglected
aspect of the Russian situation.
1t is not necessary to argue the third
clause in the program outlined. 1t is
self-evident that Bolshevism in Lithua-
MIA or Czecho-Slovakia must endanger
western Europe. Unfortunately, the
former country is now pretty thorough
Iy "infiltrated" by the Bolsheviki, while
in Czecho- Slovakia the growth Of Boil
shevist sentiment is all too evident. In
both instances it thrivsa upon the be-
lief and the fear that the great powers
are committed to imperialism" and ia
tina destruction Of the Russian Revolu-
