GLAND, After New Partikion
Bp Franz II. Simonds

Lloyd Georges demand that Bolshe-
visits agree to an armistice with the
Poles, still unanswered as I write this
article, constitutes, in a very real sense,
new partition of Poland The lines
which the British Prime Minister lays
down as the basis for truce deprive
Poland of all of her historic posses
sions on the Russian side with two
exceptions. These exceptions are a por-
tion Of the old government of Grodno,
taken by Russia in 1907, and all of
the district of Chom, similarly taken
iii the latter part Of the last century.
What Poland Loses
BY contrast Poland loses the north
ern half Of the district of Suwalki,
which was left her, or more exactly.
was left within the frontiers of the
Congress Poland which survived the
Congress of Vienna, but only as
Russian possession. Moreover, in the
recent agreement between the Bolshe-
visits and the Lithuanians all of Su-
Walki and of the Polish pairing of Grod-
no are turned over to the Lithuaniars.
while in the German peace of Brest-
LitOvsk Cholm was handed over to the
Ukrainians
In addition, Lloyd Georges proposal
suggesting that the armistice line be
fixed at the front in eastern Galicia
which is occupied at the moment when
operations are suspended, at least sug-
gests that the whole question of east
ern Galicia is left to be discussed in
the Conference of London and thus
that Poland may be again deprived of
the city of Lemberg and the rich oil
regions in the eastern end Of Galicia
This represents the complete destruc-
ton OF the French policy of group of
barrier states between the Bolshevists
and western Europe, the famous cor
don sanitarreo Of Clemenceau. Already
Esthonia, Latyia and Lithuania have
passed into the Bolshevist orbit. The
Ukraine has been almost completely re-
conquered and, despite Bolshevist
promises of autonomy, the result must
be the substitution of Bolshevist for
Western influences in all these border
states and the application of the
Lenine-Trot2ky principles to further
vast regions and more millions of men
and women.
The Dolshevist Cam paign
But will the Bolshevists consent to q
truce with Poland? Only il their in
ternal situation is desperate and eco
nomic relations with the West a mat
ter of life and death, for the oppor-
tunlty Is now clearly in their hands to
overturn the Polish state and set up
there, as we'll as in the other border
states, truly Bolshev;st regime
We have, too, to consider what will
be the eventual effect upon Poland of

Of her patriots, and conceivably the

icy, which is supporting the Greeks in
an lmperialistic campaign in Asia
Minor, at best no more justifablc than
the Polish effort in the north, opposed
Polish expansion, or, TO put it more
directly, because, exactly as French
policy opposes British and supports
the Turk in the Near East, British
policy in Poland opposed French, and
thus permitted Polish ruin.
In the British mind a strong Poland,
necessarily associated with France,
suggested a French domination of the
continent, exactly as the Anglo Greek
association in Asia Minor means for
the French a British control of the
Near East. And the French in Asia
Minor have precisely initiated the
British in Poland. 1t remains to be
seen whether the ultimate conse-
Guences will be as disastrous, not alone
for those Immediately concerned, but
for the whole of Europe as well
Allied Aid
That either France or Britain will
now undertake by sending troops to
Poland to defend their Polish friends
is inconcelvable. French troops are
occupied either at the Rhine or in the
new campaign in Syria. British troops
are engaged in occupying Constanti-
nople, holding Mesopotamia and gar
risoning the uneasy regions of ireland,
Egypt and India. The single aid that
Tie Western Allies can give Poland,
aside from war material, is an extern
sion rather than an abolition Of the
blockade of Russia.
This may suffice, at least for the
moment, although this is doubtful, but
whatever happens now Western pres
dige is lost in Poland. Her Western
friends have suffered her ruin, and it
is exceedingly doubtful if Poland will
risk her existence, if indeed she sur
Nes the present crisis, to serve
France or Britain in the future, and
the hour may come when such service
might be of utmost value to the
French along the Rhine or to the Brit
ish on the frontiers of India
The sacrifice of Poland is one of the
saddest circumstances of contemporary
history. 1t is the direct CONSEQUENCE
of Anglo-French rivalry, both on the
Continent and in eastern Europe and
Asia Minor. In Poland Lloyd George
has played exactly the politics Dis
raeli played in Turkey nearly half a
century ago, throwing Christian popu-
lations back to the Turk to diminish
Russian influence in the Near East
subjecting Bu!garians and Armenian
to Turkish massacre that British in.
luence at the Golden Horn might b.
predominant.
The Lesson for Small Peoples
AS for the French, they could sup
port Poland only by surrendering to tht
British all their claims in the Nea
East and using in Russia troops which
are now in action in Syria. 1t ma,
yet prove that this would have beer
the wiser policy. But in any even,
Poland, called into existence less tina,
two years ago and extolled as tn,
shining example Of Allied concern TO
enslaved peoples and smaller nation
alities, lies in ruin as a CONSEQUENCE
OF abandonment, while the world pres
IS filled with the reports of British
and French colonial campaigns in East
EN- Asia. The lesson for the Jesse
peoples is obvious, nor will the Ger
mans in their own time fail to max
use of it.

WARNING AGAINST
TAX EXPERTS
INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU
DECLARES INVESTIGATION
SHOULD BE MADE.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The inter-
nal revenue bureau today issued a
warning to the people to inquire care
fully into qualifications of persons
advertising themselves as Income tax
experts" and offering to aid tax pay
ers in making out their income tax
returns for a consideration.
The commissioners attention, -
says an official statement, "has been
directed to advertisements and an
nouncements of this kind, some of
which are issued by former em-
ployees with the obvious purpose Of
capitalizing their service in the bu-
reau of internal revenue to secure
business. The claims made by GER
tain of these former employees, to say
the least, are extravagant and not in
line with knowledge of the income
tax laws and regulations obtained
while connected with the internal rev.
enue service. The advisory tax board
at one time a part of the bureau or
ganization comprised but five men,
bers, although claim to its member
ship is now being made by former eni-
ployes in no way connected with it.
Every taxpayer is assured of a
square deal from the government
based entirely on the tax laws and
regulations and the facts in his case.
No other influence is allowed to enter
into internal revenue matters and the
intimation of any firm or individual
that they are in a position to exert
special influence with the internal
revenue officers is without founda-
tion in fact. Painstaking and open
minded consideration is given in ev-
cry case regardless of whether the
taxpayer appears in person or by at
torney."

Pukwana Banker

formerly cashier of the Pukwana
State bank here, has been arrested by
ADeputy United States Marshal Bert
". Donahue on charge of using the
United States mails to defraud, and
later appropriating $4,000 for his
own use. Harty will be taken to

The warrant for Harty's arrest fol-
lowed an investigation by Vernon G.
Bate, postoffice inspector. Harty was
cashier at the bank until last No
vember when the state banking de-
partment took charge. According to
the complaint Harty sent forged notes
and mortgages to Sioux Falls through
the mails to be placed to his credit
at local bank. In this manner he II

REORGANIZATION AN
IMPORTANT PROBLEM
SOVIET GOVERNMENT MEAN s
RULE BY ONE CLASS, DE-
CLARES LOWDEN.

Huron, Feb. 23.-America is thu
land for Americanized people and no
for the "internationalist" who has tht
world in heart instead of the interes
of America, Gov. Lowden told an au
dfence here tonight as a minority re
publican candidate for president al
the March primaries.
"Americanization is the most i'm
portant problem before the people Of
the United States" Governor Lowder
declared. Soviet government is ar
attempt to substitute rule by one
class for rule by all the people. II
allowed to thrive it would be fata
to our institutions. The idea of gov.
ernment by class takes different
names, and soviet is not the onl,
word which defines it. Sometimes il
is the Industrial Workers of tht
World; sometimes it is the one bis
union, and sometimes the radical so
cialist party. Whatever its name, the
menace to our liberties is equally
great"
The "internationalist," Mr.. Low.
den declared, was the person who
would pool America with other coun
tries of the world. Americanizatior
means that citizen must be 70,
America and not consider himself 9
citizen of the world, he said.
Those who consider themselve.
citizens of the world had better move
beyond our borders," he added.

LABOR IN THE
RAIL BILL FIGHT
FORCING OF GOVERNMENT
ERSHIP HELD PRIMARY
OBJECT.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Organizcd
labor is fighting the railroad bill in
congress for two salient reasons. Pri-
marily, leaders of the labor move
ment believe the spirit of the meas
ure is against the worker and in ia
vor of the vested interests. The 9TH
er underlying reason is that labor is
almost unanimously opposed to pri-
vate ownership and control of the
railroads.
Although the forces of trade union
ism won their battle against the Cum
Minis anti-strike provision and the
penal clauses in the bill relating to
strikes, they are still opposed to the
measure now with all these obnoxious
features eliminated because, they de-
clare, it will be possible under the
bill as it stands, to use the injunctive
process to send union officials to fail
who refuse to submit grievances to
the adjustment board.
The labor leaders have awakened
to this possibility in the measure as
drafted in the conference report at
the last minute, and they are calling
upon their friends in congress to fight
just as vigorously as they insisted
upon them fighting in the conference
committee when the anti-strike pro-
visions were pending. Some of them
think the bill as it stands is even
worse than before, because they ar
que, were there penal clause in the
proposed law it would be necessary to
allow trials before committing magis-
trates, hearings before grand juries
and trials before petit juries.
AS matters stand, strike leaders
may be sent to Jail without the for
mality of a trial, and such weapon
in the hands ofyprivate railroad own
ers. organized labor emphatically op-
poses.
From the standpoints of layman,
the whole fight labor has been maxi
ing against the railroad bill has been,
first, to defeat 1t IL possible in the
hope of forcing government owner
ship issue at once, and failing in
that, to make it as easy as possible
for organized labor to stage a general
strike at some time in the not far
distant future, IL necessary, in order
to aid in labor's campaign for nation
alization Of the railroads under the
Plumb plan.
The railroad brotherhoods, includ-
ing the most conservative of their
leaders, are irrevocably committed to
government control of fho ra i1roodo
Adoption of the conference report
against the protest of organized labor
will not cause a moments hesitation
