to oyerbearing might. but also to
the indifference OF a world which
calls itself democratic and freedom

Can the conscience OF the world be

science, the conscience OF the ma

Your indifference can, once as in

troops of the East to destroy the
beginnings OF freedom which.

Bolshevist victory on the Vistula

Little Action Expected to Be
Taken BY U. S. Until Europe
Defines Its Plans.
By WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs.
InternationaI News Service.

Surprise has been caused in official
circles here by the Interpretation
placed In certain quarters upon the
American note TO Italy on the Polish
situation. II was ascertained today.
There has been no change OF atti-
tude on the part OF the United States
toward Poland. 1t was stated. these
interpretations to the contrary not
withstanding. Nor is change con-
templated. o.,
The statement that America "be-
Iieves in a united, free and autonom-
Gus Polish state" as a fixed principle.
and that 'the policy of this Govern
ment will be directed to the employ
ment of all available means to render
IL effectual" experts explain, means
nothing more than what II says, to
wit. that the United States will do
what IL can, be this little or much,
material or purely moral, "for the
maintenance of Poland's political in
dependence and territorial integrity" /"
Secretary OF State Colby refused to
explain what he meant by "all
available means" the inference being
that he meant precisely what he said.
Secretary of War Baker stated that
considerable supplies belonging to the
War Department remain undisposed
of both in America and in France.
The Polish Government Is now bring
ing all possible strength to bear on
the American authorities, directly
and through France and England, to
obtain an extension of credit and the
privilege OF purchase of part of
these materials.
Officials here were watching with
intense interest today developments
in France and Great Britain and
the apparent split between those ma
tions, occasioned by the French recog-
milton Of General WranseL
While officials here withheld COM
ment, it was evident that the action
Of France is looked upon with more
sympathy here than the course which
Great Britain has seemed anxious 10
pursue-recognitxn xn of the soviet gov
ernment.
There Is little likelihood of this
government following the lead OF
France, unless it is finally shown
that General WrangePs forces can
| establish a government in Russia
which will represent the mass OF the
people. 1t was regarded as rather
significant that this government has
taken steps to use General Wrangels
| forces for the dissemination Of the
| note stating the attitude of the
United States toward Russia
Little immediate action is expected
here with regard to the Polish situa-
| ton, until the situation in Europe be-
| comes more clearly defined, and II Ia
| known whether the United States car
cast it's lot with the allies, or whether
1t must pursue an independent
| course.

THOMSON CONSTRUCTIVE AND SAFE
WILL FIND Ell PASO BEHIND HIM

He Is still unashamed to be a Wilson Democrat
he believes in oldtime principles, but with
progressive application.
Re admits that two and two still make four, but
is not content to leave off the study Of arithmetic
after having mastered the process Of simple addi-
ton.
He is not blinded to the great constructive
achievements Of the past seven years by wide
spread stew and fret.
He measures the present manifestation Of dis
content for what it is worth-a passing fever Of
frazzled nerves and readjustment.
He is not in favor Of getting scared simply be-
cause we are little perplexed-
He is not for turning back because we have run
against some knotty problems.
It Is refreshing to get a Whit Of such faith and
optimism-to find at least one man who refuses to
believe that we have been treading the downward
path and that the time is ripe for grand STAN
pede.
Mr.. Thomson stiH opposes booze.
Mr. Thomson Is still for woman suffrage.
Mr. Thomson still believes that capital and Ia
Dor can cooperate.
Mr. Thomson still finds something of value in
the federal reserve bank, the farm loan bank, the
child labor law, etc.
Naturally he is against Bailey and what Bailey
stands for.
Naturally he pereeives The shallowness Of what
Bailey Is preaching
He IS for going ahead, for building up, for ad-
vancement, for constructive progress.
Bailey is for looking back, tearing ripping things
to pieces, reputation.
Mr.. Thomson challenges Bailey as a straight
forward man should, as a straightforward man
could not help doing
His challenge, however, rises above the personal
level It is for the state, for the party, for the
people.
He wants Bailey out, not that he himself may
climb little higher but that obstacle to better
understanding and healthier cooperation may be
removed.
His program eomprehends something beyond the
contest of candidates.
It comprehends budget system for Texas, the
encouragement Of enterprise, internal improve
ments removal Of the control Of public institutions
from politics. protection Of the people against spec
ulatioR and exploitation, etc.
He realizes that no such program can be carried
out with Baileyism in the way, and that is why he
advocates its removal
We like his vision, his conception, his purpose.
Better than that, We ike the bold, sincere way in
which he starts out.
