dozen new railway lines were planned
and partly built. A new scheme for
reorganlzing the railway station at
Warsaw for the speedier handling of
goods traffic was thought out. The
Nlstula and the Bug were surveyed
with an eye to their development for
barge traffic; the prospects were found
good, and docks were started at Flock
and other places. On the other hand
the Lodz textile mills and hundreds OF
other factories were stripped of all
their most valuable machinery, the
Germans openly avowing their inten-
ton Of squashing these possible rivals.
Political Sabotage
The general lines of this policy are
stlll being held in view. The CONSOLE
dation Of Poland as state is to be
prevented in every possible way.
Every opportunity is to be taken Of
encouraging strikes, communist agita-
ton, and political squabbles as q means
to this end. At the same time; if thu
Poles can be induced to accept the irelp
OF German experts to organize their
country, advantage is to be taken Of
the opportunity to establish German
influence in Poland as strongly as it
was established in Russia when the
war broke out; the Prussian officials in
Posnanfa were openly encouraged to
remain at their posts for this purpose.
T. The Prussian Poles are to be dis
cou1aged and disconnected by having
every flaw and weakness in the Polish
methods of administration held under
their noses and contrasted with Prus-
to be flooded with products of German
manufacture, and German capital is to
be skllHuuy used to establish control
ling influence in every big enterprise
that the Poles may undertake.
Motor cars, agricultural machinery
and every sort of manufactured goods,
from airplanes to fountain pens, are
now being effected in Poland by Ger
mans at prices at least so per cent low
er than anything which Entente coun-
tries can produce. The comparatively IA
vorable rate of exchange between Polish
and German marks of course helps the
German. 1t is to his advantage that
the Polish currency should stay so low
from England, France or America, and
there is a good deal Of evidence that
the market has been manipulated by
German agents with this object in view.
Free Use of Danzig Hindered
The way in which the German au,
thorities have persistently hindered the
Poles from enjoying free use Of Dan
zig for import and export, and the care
full steps they have taken to remove
from the port everything that could
be Of use to the Poles Call in defiance
of the terms of the treaty. are just
enc more example of German de.
termination to prevent Poland from
developing normally. The wretched
Poles are to be shepherded into max
when they are quite helpless, the Prus-
sian will step in and run it for them.
1t would seem at first sight easy
enough for the Poles to avoid these pit
falls. The trouble is that there are
men in Poland who would welcome thia
solution OF Poland's difficulties. Though
the mass OF the people detest the Ger

Stepping Stone
Berlin Schemes to Use Rus
STA as Soil in Which to De-

Power, Neighbor as Wedge
General Policy Outlined
To Prevent New State From
Becoming Strong Except
Under Teuton Influence

LONDON, March 1.-THE Warsaw
corresp ondent of "The Times" analyzes
the situation in Poland in an article as
follows:
Circumstances alter cases. The pres
ent position Of Poland is very different
from what was foreseen by President
Wilson, Mr.. Lloyd George and NJ.
Clemenceau last June. It's safety within
the frontiers fixed for it by the Treaty
of Versailles was admittedly dependent
on the capacity Of the league of nations
to uphold the rights of the weak and
on the complete disarmament of Ger
many. Can Poland's access to the sea
be regarded IS secure now, in face of
great German army and the doubts
which overhang the future of the
league?
OF the dangers which threaten
Poland from the East and the West,
that from Germany is infinitely the
greater There is no reason to suppose
that, If the Poles are given sufficient
munitions and equipment for their
army, they will not be able to repel the
Bolshevists, but the German menace
is not one which can be met by armed
force. The German aims toward the
East were made sufficiently clear by
the Won der Goltz and Bermont affair.
Though that adventure failed, they
still hope to use Russia as a colony
and as soil in which to develop their
ambitions for world power, and Poland
comes into their scheme.
Stepping Stone to Russia
It is not for nothing that they call it
"Saisonstaat." The strong men who,
with or without the government, con-
troll the fortunes Of Germany to-day
the chiefs of the military caste and the
great capitalists do not intend that i.
shall exist for more than season as
an independent state. The plan is to
prevent it from ever becoming strong,
except under German influence. Pc
land is to be a stepping stone to Rus
sin.
In pursuance of this policy half

mans, Germany has her friends in Po-
land. And there are others among the
Poles Of Galicia. who, without being
definitely pro-German, are vet so &C
customed to working with the Germans,
using German methods and thinking on
German lines that they retain their old
orientation, almost unconscious Of, the
fact that there are alte rnatives.
M. Bilinski, though he has done Po-
land a service by Strengthening her
financial organization during his period
of office as Finance Minister, is one Of
the Galicians whose connection with
the welfare of his country. He showed
decided preference for dealing with
Germany rather than Great Britain in
purchasing locomotives. even though in
this case the British conditions were
highly favorable to the Poles.
1t will be impossible for the Poles to
set aside every official who served
Austria or every man who collaborated
with the Germans in the Kingdom from
1915 to 1918, but both Poland and her
allies must beware of the danger which
lies in seeking help from an enemy. 1t
must be admitted, however, that only
too often there are initial advantages
to be won for Poland by looking to

deciding whether Poland's demands are
justified, how they can be met, and who
is to meet them. The Allies are very
expensive. The Germans are cheap and
prompt. The Allies have friends in
Poland who will support their connec-
ton with Poland through thick and
thin rather than risk dependence on
Germany, but there are others, equally
Tool for Allies
General Pilsndski, the Chief of State,
is man whom the Allies do not know
is no respecter of formaEties where
the welfare of his country is con-
cerned. He left the Germans in the
lurch without warning when they
would serve Poiand's ends no longer,
though it meant Withdrawing his brig
ade from the front in the middle of
battle. He has made the Germans
serve his purpose once before in the
Polish cause. He may do so again. If
he does so he will count on him self to
see the Polish independence does not
suffer, but the Allies conception of
Poland as barrier state between Ger
many and Russia will go by the board.
To sum up, in the Poles the Allies
have tool ready to their hand which
can be effectively used. First, to checl
Bolshevism; secondly, to revive the
economic strength of Russia The tool
may be clumsy and it may need sharp
ening, but it is the only one left, and
if they hesitate about using it thew
run the risk of having it taken out
of their hands by Germany.

From The Tr,bane's Enropsar Bureax

LONDON, April l0.-London's school
teachers are up IN arms. They want
an increase in salary and they are fol-
lowing the prevailing fashion in pre-
senting their demands.
Sir Cyril Cobb, member Of Parlia1
ment, is chairman Of the education
committee of the London County Couns
Gil, which has jurisdiction over the
teachers 1t is no exaggeration to sag
that in the opinion of the school mas
ters and mistresses, there is no more
unpopular knight IN England than Sir
Cyril.
A few days ago H. A. L. Fisher. q
member of David Lloyd Georges Cabs
ton since 1916. appeared at meeting
of teachers to announce the govern
ment's views on religion in the schools
Sir Cyril was the chairman. But the
teachers would have none of Sir Cyril.
He started to speak and they shouted.
He tried again and his voice was
drowned. Finally the meeting was ad,
iourned and Mr.. Fisher had to leave
the hall. n
Then there was a meeting of the
London County Council, to which the
teachers sent a deputation. An ordinary
deputation consists Of five or six men,

Old masters of Greek and Latin, young
teachers of sewing, history and nature

made to hold demonstration in

interviewed. The mounted police APP
peared on the scene and the teachers
went flying right and left, as if they

from a machine gun. -
In 1919 9T3 teachers resigned from
the London schools. In the first quar-.
ter OF this year l,27l designations have
been received by the county council
The average salary Of the teachers in
the high schools is $3.50 (nom;nally
$1,250) year; in the eleme ntarv
schools it is hardly more than half this
sum- The teachers say they are not
as well paid as street cleaners and that

LONDON, April 1.-THE kaleido-
scopic changes In Ireland keep her
constantly in the public eye and over
shadow other events which contain
less dramatic elements, but which
have an infinitely greater influence on
the peace OF the world.
The new administrati ton is taking
hold in Ireland, and there are indica-
tons that new policy is being
formulated. The power of public
opinion has been wildly illustrated
by developments in Dublin following
the general strike protest against the
Imprisonment of Sim Feiners without
charge or trial.
The government is extremely sensi-
tive to the American attitude toward
Ireland, and on this occasion it real
lied That there was considerable
body in England which opposed the
treatment accorded the prisoners who
were attempting suicide by starvation.
British Steadily Yielding
What is growing clearer is that the
british government is steadily yielding
to the Irish demands, and, though Il is
long way from granting independl
ence, remarkable advance has been
made. The power of the Sim Fem
rests in its moderation, in using the
word comparatively. 1t has been
guilty of thousands of outrages. but
stops short of the fatal blunder of test
ing. its force against British arms.
Perhaps happier times may come to
Ireland If England decides to follow a
passive policy there. Sim Fem
thrlves on opposition to force and mill
tary rule.
Ireland is the darkest cloud on the
British horizon, and the government
would sacrifice much to obtain clearer
atmosphere. Anglo-French differences
were temporarily settled at the be-
ginning OF the week, but the whole
