With Other Editors
The Impending Tragedy.
cleveland Plain Dealer. }

Warsaw is doomed. Poland, unluckiest and
unhappiest of lands. is again to suffer the
agony OF conquest by ruthless foreign foe.
Imperial Russians, Prussians, Austrians and
Swedes have repeatedly swept over Poland and
left it PROSTATE and bleeding. Now q new i'm
perialisn,, the Imperialism of the Moscow gut
tiers, is to claim Warsaw as its own.
Only a miracle can halt the onrushing reds
The Polish armies routed and disorganized, can
offer no further resistance We're the great
western powers to decide today to intervene
actively in behalf OF Poland their Intervention
would be too late to save Warsaw. The vulpne
fanatics who rule Russia may see it to their
advantage to stop just short of crushing Poland.
There is no apparent reason why they should
stop. And there is scarcely the smallest pos
sibility that they will stop.
Soviet representatives have long been in
London begging and wheeling for some kind
Of recognition. The British have listened to
their pleadings, and have stood ready to make
an agreement Now, as a final threat the
British premier states that unless the advance
in Poland stops Immediately all negotiations
with Russian representatives will cease.
1t is doubtless a futile illumination Soviet
ism needs bolstering. But today sovietism may
derive greater advantage from the conquest of
Poland than from any concessions grudgingy
granted by western Europe The Lenine who
sent the plausible Krassn to London was not
the Lenine Of today, the war lord whose hosts
are sweeping irresstibly westward For the
present I1enne has made an end of begging
What he wants he is taking.
Chivalrous Poland is suffering martyrdom
because the western nations are too tired to
fight Poland, having won liberty after gen.
erations OF oppression sought to safeguard her
freedom and at the same time to win the graft
tude of the great democracies by driving boil
shevism back into the Muscovite mre from
which it was born Overwhelmed by the
countless numbers of her foe, Poland looks in
vain for aid. No nation is brave enough to
help her with anything but words. 1t is now
clear that Poland erred in believing herself
strong enough to vanquish the red hordes And
it is also clear that the western nations meant
precisely what they said when they warned
Poland that she must make the fight alone
The impending tragedy is Poland's tragedy.
But what will come after? May there not be
a greater tragedy which will torture all the
civilized world? Germany lies next in the
westward path of bolshevism. From the be-
ginning of his greatness Lenine has marked
Germany as his own And beyond Germany
lie the nations that are too tired to fight for
Poland. 1t is time for them to forget their
WEAKNESS. 1t is too late to save Poland; it is
the ordeal of vast new war for the salvation
of democracy.
