The Polish Situation
Poles in America Should Understand 1t.

The men and women of Polish blood in this country
naturally and properly greatly exercised over the dis
astsr that has Poland They naturally and prop
sry make every sacrifice and do everything posi-
BILE to prevent Poland from losing her status inde
pendent nation to which the fortune Of restored her
after centuries of suspended national animation.
Everyone wants to see Poland preserved indie
pendent nation Everyone wants her have her ehno
graphic boundaries Everyone wants to her
and great the industry capacity and culture Of her
people make her. No wants her to be less than
she capable being without unfsrness to her nebor
But the Polish people in America should understand
and clearly that the question of their national nde
pendence at stake that Russia did and does
not intend deprive her Of her proper territory or to
of her any those spos which the vctors claim in
the against Germany and which vicors have always
claimed Russia offers Poland territory than
either the English French thought she ought to have
and clearly than she is entitled to have ehnograph
ical grounds
What the Russians are determined to do IS TO PUT
OUT OF POWER TO MAKE FURTHER TROUBLE THE
GANG OF GREAT LANDLORDS WHO HAVE CON
TRoLLED THE POLISH GOVERNMENT, AND WHO
HAVE PLUNGED HER INTO THIS ABYSS JUST AS
THEY RUINED HER CENTURY AGO
The Polish people should understand that the present
of Poland does not represent the people in
Poland and put into the people of Poland
is of the last unker governments the continent
of Europe is fighting for the Polish people, but for
its privileges which is incapable of enjoying without
disaster to Poland and danger to the whole world.
When the Poles established their government the
beginning of their independence they established just
and peaceful government. But the French military and
banking caba and the Winston Church of England hav
ing design the poor Poles against Russia and know
ing that government which had large peasant and
worngmens representation could be used caused
it be overthrown and of great landlords
set up .
This new government proceeded Immediately to invade
Russia The Russian people probably did than any
any other great nation in history avoid this with the
Poles and allowed the Polish armies march hun
dred miles into Russian territory and occupy it for months
without making armed resistance. 1t not until their
orbearance mistaken for weakness that they accepted
P0lands challenge
This deliberate and wanton' attack Russia was
attempt of the privileged classes to overthrow the
Russian government using the Poles in the foron
hope, because the workngmen of France England, and
Italy would not permit the shedding of French British
Italian blood against the worngmens and farmers gov
eminent of Russia
Let the American Poles understand that the
better friends to the Poles than the French English
American banking interests.
The Russians to trade with the Poles The British
and American financial interests which sked them
this want to them fodder The excite
ment the French and of the financial interests
OF America and England not due to fear for the
of the Polish people, but affection for the Polish landed
astocrac which has been the of Poland for centuries
and has always been ready to play the foreigners game
and to bring the foreign soldier upon Polish SOIL There
has been itorous class history than this Polish
aristocracy.
The American Poles ought to rejoice at the overthrow
and punishment Of the wreched class Of unkers who have
oppressed the Polish people, denied them all social economic
and political justice and have made Poland the catspaw and
the cockpit of every imperasc crafty government in
Europe The Poles and the Russians of the race
Neither people would want to oppress the other The
