"It 10 easier to get into trouble than
il is 70 get out"
Poland and the Reds

News dispatches telling of Brest-
Litovsk negotiations and an armis-
tice sound strangely in our ears. We
had hoped and once imagined that
such terms had passed from active
use and the things they stand for had
been ended once for all.
The war between Poland and the
Bolshevik soldiers of the Russian So
Wet government has been going on.
a dreary but grim reality, for many
months. Poland. restored by the
treaty Of Versailles as a buffer state
between Russia and Germany. has
been putting up tremendous strug-
gle to ward off the advances OF So
vietism toward central Europe and to
preserve her own integrity. The rest
of the world has been SO absorbed in
its own troubles that it has not taken
time to inform itself Of just how
great the fight has been. And it has
perhaps been partly true that the
world did not care to hear anything
more about wars, but has deliberate
ly turned its attention to less terrible
things.
1t was only quite recently that Pre-
mier Lloyd George presented the sit
uation to his people and told them
that wars were by no means done.
and that they might again be called
on to take up arms against the soviet
forces. His words fell upon ears that
were most unwilling to hear them
and caused hum Of dissent. The
English people are tired and sick of
war and have not recovered. they
think. from the weary years of 1914
1918. The same is true Of the con-
tinental peoples. but their point Of
view is different. Should a soviet in
vasion become imminent it is proba-
BILE that they would forget their war
WEAKNESS and devote themselves to
immediate defense Of their homes.
This is the view taken by NJ. Witos,
the new Polish premier. He declared
that Poland had the right to expect
Allied help in case an invasion
threatened but told his people that
the country must rely chiefly on its
own forces and not depend too much
on military aid from the outside. no
matter what the circumstances.
The names Of the Polish cabinet
members are unknown in the United
States and are pretty much unpro-
nounceable. 1t is to be hoped that
the terms which 81. Witos demands.
namely, peace based on the princi-
pies Of justice and freedom. can be
and will be met by the Russians.
Otherwise N. Witos says the new
government of Poland will continue
the fighting. The world should have
the greatest interest in the forthcom-
ing Polish diplomacy.

Say They Will Keep the Agreement

Foreign Minister Simons Of Ger
many has informed newspaper cor
respondents that the present German
government intends TO carry out the
promises made to the Allies at the
recent Spa conference. He admitted
that former governments have not
been sufficiently punctilious in car
rying out the terms of the peace
treaty. but the present German cab
met being convinced that the Allies
are really serious in their threat to
occupy German territory. has decided
to do as il has agreed. DR.. Simons
added that the German delegates
would not have signed the agree
ment il they had not been convinced
that the coal demands Of the Allies
were capable Of fulnilment.
This last statement is a dead give.
away II any were necessary, that the
nrst meetings Of the Germans with
the, Allies were nothing but attempts
At pure blur. The Germans threw
up their hands and howied that they
were at the last limit Of their per-
Torrance, that they could do moth
ing to hinder the action Of the Allies,
no matter how dastardly and inhu-
name it might be. Then. when the
German leaders were taken aside and
quietly but firmly told that they
must come across or the Allied troops
would. the blum was all of.
Not only did the Germans sign
the terms which the Premiers pre-
scented. but now they say they can
fuifin them Naturally, the Allies
would not have asked the Germans
to do things which were utterly i'm
possible. OF what use would a threat
of occupation be in such circum-
stances?

Rate S Per cent.

Up till May Is, 1913, the various
loans bore interest at varying rates
per cent, but on that date, by arrange
ment with the lebtor nations, uni
form rate Of 5 per cent was fixed for
all loans.
Interest becomes due every six
months. two-thirds being payable on
May Is and November Is respectively
and the remaining one-third on April
Is and October Is. This arrangement
gives the debtor governments greater,
freedom, both as to time and the num-
berof securities or amount of exchange
TO be purchased, while it enables the
United States government to retire on
more even basis certain number of
short-term treasury certificates of In
debtedness, thereby avoiding in both
instances, an undue disturbance of the
money market.
The proceeds of the payments of in
terest and principal by the allied ma
tons will be employed by the treasury
department to retire Liberty and Vic
tory bonds The total amount Of the
loans, If paid in full with interest, will
enable the treasury to retire approx
mately half the national debt created
by the war.
