A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE

With the opening OF the penoc ratio
convention at San Francisco the Ameri-
can people cannot but be deeply I'M
pressed with the fundamental truth
governing the whole American situation
today, ey,dencing that man cannot
make a wise. strong, successful govern
rnant by himself and that he must use
the brains, the character and the stamina
OF tho party behind him.
A declaration Of principles IS OF no
effect without the mass power behind

party is not At and cannot by any act
OF the San Francisco convention become
At 10 manage the United States gov
srnmsnt. Mr.. Wilson may dominate
the convention TO the very end. or no
may not. but the parry behind II re-
mains unit.
Under any Democratic president and
under any Democratic control OF Con-
Rress there would remain the Same old
administrative weakness and lmcompe-
tencies. the same old financial stupid
ties and blundcrs. the same old tax
errors and determinations. the same
old political preJudices and hatreds that
have been so evident during the past

chung tenaciously. Gradually the Ger
mans were forced ont. returning to
East and West Prussia and Polish
authority was set up and maintained
in Polish territory.
Fortunately the bolsheviki at this
time were fighting with Kolchak and
Denikine and were not In y position
to force the fighting on their western
front. Wine vas retaken By General
Pilsudski In April, 1910. The next Of
fensiye In July forced the bolsheyiki
east Of Minsk. In December the Joint
drive of the Poles and Let's cleared
the Baltic region. At length the line
as 1t stands at present was estab-
lished In the north. In the south 1t
faced territory held by General Deni-
kline. At one time his forces and the
Poles were in contact.
No Time to Withdraw.
while the attention of the bolshe-
visits was diverted by the Kolchak and
Denikine drives Poland converted Its
army into a thoroughly trained fight
ing force. 1t now had a government
behind 1t and the patriotism of the
people was such that there was no
lack of valor. OF supplies and am
munition 1t was badly in need. The
allied governments. being no longer
at war. sent some supplies. Some
equipment was purchased from the
United States.
AT the end of this period the fight
Ing line was established TO the east of
the frontier subsequently tentatively
fixed by the peace conference. This
was well within the original Polish
boundary. 1t was then impossible for
the Polish armies TO withdraw had 1t
been advisable.
''In the first place Poland. even
with the striking progress 1t had
made In creating an army, was no
match for soviet Russia, and to have
retired would have placed Warsaw
and the main Polish railroad centers
that much nearer the reach of the
enemy. In the second place the peo-
pie Of the territory occupied protested
at being left to the mercy Of the boil
sheyiki. General Pilsudski and the
representatives Of the state gave as
surances that Poland had no desire
to extend Its domain against the will
of the people and proclaim the prin-
ciple Of self-determinatlon.
Doishevist Menace Checked.
Besides, It was obvious that the
anti-bolsheyist forces Of Russia were
c%rumbling and that the next great
drive OF the soviet forces would be
directed against Poland. No sooner
was Kolchak eliminated and Denikine
driven far to the south than the boil
sheviki began TO concentrate their
forces on the Polish front.
This marked the beginning Of the
present phase OF the fighting. The
earlier attacks OF the bolsheviki were
repulsed. General Pilsudski. by SELF.
