a mysterious way her wonders to
perform. In her fury against the
blonde she requires no assistance.
And what, pray, can mere man do
about it? Only, if he happens to adj
mire the blonde the more, lament the
passing. of an ideal.
"There are hats" it is said, (Which

doubts it? Insatiate fashion, cannot

Sir: Messrs. Buchanan and Julian
are like the first American soldiers
captured by the Germans, who when
asked why America was fighting Ger
many stated they did not know.
Our prime object in the war was in
conformity with the first principles
of our philosophy of government,
might does not make right"
Mindful of consistency, we acted with
the courage of our convictions upon
the establishment Of the various South
American republics. We forestalled
Europe supporting an emperor in
Mexico, and even resortcd to the last
recourse to free Cuba.
From the Orient west to Canada the
subject nations Of England are on the
eve of sclf-emancipation, so let the
tlmid mental Stacker take heart and
the Anglomaniac be silent.
War with the United States would
hasten the crash of British imperial
ism, and England, knowing that, would
exercise sclf-control if we followed ont
our traditional policy of encouraging
republicanism by recognizing the re-
public of Ireland.

Russia's Border States

The reasons given by the Presi-
dent for refusing to recognize or to
have any relations with the Bolshe-
visit power are sound and satisfac-
tory. 1t is, as he says, brutal and
tyrannous minority which seized the
machinery of government by force,
has maintained itself by savage OPP
preston and boasts that cit will
make agreements but will not be
bound by them. It gives The Trib-
une great pleasure to be in hearty
sympathy with the President con-
corning a fundamental moral ques-
ton.
But believers in national rights
and the principle of self -determina-
ton will scarcely give similar
sweeping approval to the Presidents
policy with respect to Russia's bor-
der states. Decision concerning the
destiny of these peoples which Rus
STA conquered, but only partly Russi-
fled, he contends, must be deferred
until such time as Russia has re-
sponsible government and the voice
of the Russian people can be heard
But what Russia is to be heard? All
the Russias, acting singly, or only
a preponderant Central Russia?
To permit Central Russia to decide
is tantamount to declaring the bor-
der states are not to have national
freedom. True, theoretically, they
may not be denied the right to ex-
press themselves, but practically, if
the consent Of Central Russia must
be obtained, then separation is most
unlikely. Few nations, whether
democratic or autocratic in govern
ment, have reached the height of a
willingness to haul down flags.
When nationalism comes into ex-
istence cannot be defined with mathe-
natlcal precision, any more than
it. can be said when rivulet becomes
a river or a lake q sea. But what
consideration urged by Czecho-Slo-
vakia cannot be urged by Lithuania?
That the border states wish to break
away from Russia is fairly estab-
lished. If you have doubt ask any
Lithuanian or Lett you meet in this
country.
The necessity Of some sort of
Judgment in advance of the estab-
hshment of representative govern
ment at Moscow or Petrograd seems
unacceptable. To try to hold the ques-
ton in nominal allegiance and at the
same time not to oppose the occupa-
ton of the disputed territories dur
ing the allegiance period is to give
judgment against the independence
Of the border states.
The logic Of the situation seems
to require at least a provisional rec
ognition of the independence of the
border states. Then, in the future,
their peoples can pass on the question
of reunion with Great Russia. They
cannot coerce their big neighbor,
whereas their big neighbor can, and
probably will, coerce them if it has
chance. The sound ethics of this
position is not weakened by the
practical argument that it is much
in the interest Of general peace to
have some sort of bulwark against
Central Russia while the Bolshevists
control there.

Like CaMipoH Blunder

The collapse of Poland resembles
precisely the fall of Serbia five wears
ago, when Allied troops which might
nave maintained the Danube barrier
were sent to Gallipoli instead-sent
upon an impossible adventure-while

suddenly overwhelmed Serbia and
opened their own road to the Golden
Horn. 1t was Gallipoli which led ul-
tlmately to the collapse of Russia, cut
Oft from all effective Allied support.

The Polish Crisis

The collapse of Poland has brought
the Allied world to a crisis in all re-
spects like to that of the spring of
1918, when divided command and hest
tating policies all but lost the World
War. In March the German blow dis
sipated all the mistaken notions and
retarding prejudices 1t was no longer
possible in the presence Of the for
ward rush of German troops toward
Amiens to pursue their old familiar
debates as to whether the war was to
be won in the East or the West, and
to what degree unity Of command
should prevail
1t was apparent instantly to the
blindest that the question was purely
and simply whether the war was to be
lost in the West. 1t is now a question
as to whether Bolshevism is to be
checked at the Oder the Elbe or the
Rhine-whethcr the Allies of yester-
day will fight the battle away from
their frontiers or within them.

Precisely in the same manner the at
tempt to hold the Russian revolution
within its own boundaries falls with
Poland. The famous Gordon Sanitaire,
stretched from the Gulf of Finland to
the Black Sea, from Esthonia to Ru-
mania, is thing of yesterday. Es-
thonia, Latvia and Lithuania have
made separate peaccs with Russia,
which means that they have no longer
the power to resist and have become
mere creatures of the Reds, at their

Poland Had to Fight

1t IS fashionable to charge the Polish
collapse to Polish imperialistic pur-
poses, but this is quite inaccurate.
The Bolshevists proposed peace with
Poland more than a year ago, and the
Paris Conference forbade Poland to
make such a peace. To be sure, the
peace would have been but the prel-
ude to Bolshevist conquest, but, be-
ing unable to make peace, Poland had
no choice but to fight, and the obliga-
tion imposed upon the Allies, who for
babe the making of peace, was to sup
port Poland.
Instead, Poland was suffered to en-
bark upon great military campaign
without adequate resources. Compelled
to FIGHT, she went after her foe before
that foe reached her own indie feasible
boundaries fixed by the Paris Confer
ence. The offensive was ill-conceived,
badly executed, to be criticized on the
military side without reservation. but
the fact is not to be criticized. Poland
had to fight-the Western nations in
sisted upon it. Her defeat is their
defeat; her destruction to be laid to
their door, and, unless Poland is re-
stored, the alliance of the Western
nations becomes mere mockery.
The Old German Danger
And only by the sending of Allied
troops can the permanent destruction
of Poland be prevented. To debate
further the question of negotiations
with the Bolshevists is to fall into all
the old errors which cost so much dur
ing the German war; If Poland is lost

Var Ig,escapable

And it is essential beyond all else
to establish the fact that it is war, and
war which is unacceptable. We, the
Western nations, may make peace with
the Bolshevists, but we cannot compel
them to make peace or expect them,
even if they should agree to a truce,
to observe it. Bolshevism is war
against that form of social and eco
nomic organization which is ours,
which is the Western system. If it
falls all falls, which we know; but if
it is to survive it must be fought for
The notion that words will avail has
been dissipated. The idea that direct
peril can be fought by indirection has
been destroyed. We have sought first
by dealing with Korniloff, then with
Kolchak, Denikine and Yudenitch to
defeat Bolshevism at home; to use the
large elements in Russia hostile to the
Reds to defeat them we have sent vast
supplies and expended much money.
But all of the Russian enemies of
Lenine and Trotzky have been irrevoca-
bly, defeated, all the anti-revolutionary
elements, reactionary and moderate
alike, have fallen. The effort to crush
the Russian revolution from within
Russia has become mere memory, and
an evil one. AS a consequence the elc-
ments which we might have employed
within Russia have disappeared or,
like Brusiloff, have been perforce rail-
lied to the defense of the existing
regime. Hope from within Russia has
disappeared.

CAPTAIN BURTON'S SHOWING

Interest in today's race for the
Americas cup clung not only to
whether Resoute or Shamrock ",
won, but to whether Captain VIM. =.

would make a showing that would
warrant Sir Thomas keeping him In
command OF the challenger.

ton had asked for another chance and
that this had been granted him. 1t
Is expected, therefore that the British
Corinthian today will show the best
he has in him, to re,inquish COM
