EsHE TRIBUNE will make up platform of
ten panks to be determined by your votes.
Every plank submitted, and every letter
advocating plank, Will be counted a vote for
the issue it covers.
The ten issues receiving the most votes will be
the planks of the final platform. The ten planks
that best express the chosen issues will be selected
by the Judges for the prize awards.
The Tribune believes in short platforms. 1t
limits each plank to 100 words. In Judging be-
tween two planks or letters of equal merit, the
shorter will be chosen.
There are only 298 words in the Ten Com
mandments, SO in the Lords Prayer, 2o7 in the
vital part of the Declaration of independence
and 279 in Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. If
these platforms for the whole human race could
be told in so few words, 100 words are ample for
party plank.

Subsidy Of Cables Urged
AT British Press Meeting

OTTAWA, Aug. Reconsideration of
2 resolution urging government sub
sidy of cable companies and lower
cable rates to insure the fullest inter
change of news and opinion within the
British Empire occupied most of the
opening session Of the Imperial Press
Conference.
British and Canadian delegates
strongly opposed acceptance of anv
government subsidies which might
imply government control of the char
acter of news services
a resolution to be considered will
ask that governments of the British
Empire adopt ADEQUATE wireless serv-
ices throughout the empire, by public
and private enterprise. Another will
set forth that the conference is
strongly of the opinion that the prin-
ciples should be Immediately estab-
lished for providing the British and
the world with the advantages Of wire
less telegraphic and telephone commu-
nication."
More resolutions will deal with paper
supplies, independence of news serv-
ices, uniform postal rates, interchange
or stats between various portions Of
the empire and establishment Of
courses of journalism in universities.
Viscount Burnham was elected chair
man and Lord Atholstan honorary
chairman Of the conference at this
mornings session. Besides the over
seas and Canadian delegates party
of newspaper men from the United
States attended the conference.

" OMAN I'm Black Tries
To Stow Away on Liner
Art Student Taken From the
New Rochelle Will, Several
Trunks

A woman in black, who boarded the
steamship New Rochelle in Hoboken
Yesterday afternoon with several
trunks, large bouquet and an air Of
assurance but neither ticket nor pas
sage money, was taken off by the har-
Dor police at Quarantine as stowaway.
After being Intercepted at Marine
Division Headquarters at the Battery
by Inspector James Hallock, of the har-
Dor police, and William Greiner, super
intcndent of the Baltic Steamship Com
pany which operates the New Rochelle,
she departed in taxicab, leaving no
name behind her.
Mr.. Greinor said that her name had
been obtained but would be kept secret
until an investigation of her attempt
to beat her way to Europe had been
made. He said that she was an art
student, about twenty-five years old
and pretty
She had a passport for France, he
said, but told him that she had no
money to pay her passage, so she
boarded the New Rochelle determined
TO get across the Atlantic somehow and
continue her art studies The New
Rochelle is bound for Danzig, but the
woman in black seemed confident of
her ability to overcome any difficulties
she might encounter at that port and
make her way overland to France.
She established herself in a first class
stateroom and was discovered shortly
before the vessel reached Quarantine.

partment The plans under considera-
ton may be stated as follows:
Giving Poland military assistance
on a large scale by sending large
army and many guns to the Russian
border
Sending American army officers to
Poland to help the Polish armies
with their advice.
Extending edits to Poland so
that country can purchase adequate
military supplies.
Facilitating shipments Of military
supplies and food from the United
States to Poland.
Government officials, in discussing
the situation to-day, declared that
President Wilson has no intention of
acting under his war powers to relieve
Poland. "Hc will not stretch his war
powers" one government official said
If the President decides that the
United States should send an army to
Poland to help drive the Russian Soviet
troops back behind the borders OF
Russia, it was said, he probably would
ask Congress to approve such a course
1t was further stated that the executive
branch Of the government could not
extend credits to Poland without the
specific sanction of Congress.
The question of whether President
Wilson could order American troops
into Poland under the armistice has
been given consideration, it was said
but the executive departments Of the
government arc inclined to the opinion
1t was stated that this could not be
done.
The only guaranty of the boundaries
of Poland was set forth in the covenant
of the League of Nations and that BODY
alone could act to preserve those bound
aries, under the terms of the Versailles
treaty, State Department officials de-
clarcd
The boundaries of Poland were laid
down in the treaty, but the terms of
peace with Germany did not provide
that the other nations of the world
should preserve them. it was explained.
Should the Allied governments decide
to send troops into Poland it was said,
such action would be taken to restore
peace in Europe and not primarily to
protect Poland
In the event that Congress is called
into special session, it was said, the
President would ask Congress to as
sumo the full responsibility for the
course of the United States and would
not request any extension or enlarge
ment of his own executive powers.
The United States government is
wa tching developments closely. 1t is
probable that the American govern
ment will wait until Great Britain and
France have decided upon a course of
action before the United States makes
a decision

PARIS, Aug. 5.-Former Premier
Paderewski of Poland, who arrived in
Paris with full powers to negotiate
peace on behalf of his nation at the
London conference, has now cancelled

that England must come to our assist

.n4or Lloyd George for help the latter

fee, but Lloyd George replied that if
Poland agreed to these terms she
would receive the fullest help. No

Bolsheviki.
Russia and Germany are natural
allies, and if this alliance takes place
Germany within four or five years will

world. She has the technical knowl-
edge, while Russia has the raw ma
terials and cheap labor.

Bolsheviki. They are now exhausted

In Polish Crisis
A Possibility
Wilson Will Ask Approval

and France in Extending
Army Or Financial Aid
Four Plans Considered
President Said to Have No
Idea of Taking Action
Under His War Authority

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The Polish
situation now has reached point
where the calling of Congress in
special session to consider Americas
attitude in the crisis is regarded as a
possibility, although officials close to
the White House were careful to add
to-day that this was only possibility
and not probability.
Should the United States be called
upon to give military assistance or to
extend credits to Poland the approval
OF Congress would be asked before the
United States would join with Great
Britain and France in any military
action against the Russian Soviet gov
eminent, or give financial assistance
TO Poland, it was said at the State
Department.
No direct or official request has been
received from Great Britain, France or
Poland for military aid in the crisis.
it was stated, although it is under
stood diplomatic exchanges are tax
ing place on the situation. The
question of sending an American army
to Poland to cooperate with the British
and French in defending that country
against the Russian Soviet troops has
been the subject Of unofficial discus
sion, however, since the Russians con-
tinucd their drive into Poland despite
the armistice proposals.
The American government is con-
sidering several plans for assisting
Poland, it was said at the State De-

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Soviet Russia
concluded secret treaty with Ger
many concerning Poland few weeks
before the great Polish offensive be-

rolling stock and foodstutfs.
After the conquest of Poland per-
mission would be given Russia to seno
a number of Bolshevik commissioners
into that country to control the export
of Polish supplies of all kinds.
Russia would then undertake to COM
rletely evacuate Poland in favor of
Germany, which would hold the coun-
try as guaranty against future cred
its to Russia in return for German
goods and German labor.
RUSSIA the correspondent adds,
"intcnds to try to avoid the terms Of
this treaty by the creation of Polish
Bolshevik army. the first steps in the
formation of which are now being
taken in occupied areas of Poland.
When Russia wthdraws from Poland
She Will leave this Polish army, per-
