Poland's S Case

For three centuries after her
power reached its climax Turkey,
though constantly weakening. was
able to assert herself in the face Of
a Christendom engaged in never
ending fratricidal struggle.
The tragedies of history repeat
themselves. Russia takes the place
of Turkey, and lack of solid co0pcra-
ton among the Western nations is
chief among the reasons why Poland,
once more fighting the battle of the
West against the Eastern invader, is
allowed to be trampled down by the
hoofs Of Trotzky's cavalry.
Whatever faults may be ascribed
to Polish craftsmanship, the spirit Of
coldblooded calculation which care
fully counts the wages of virtue is
not among. them. Poland chose to
fight for Europe before she ascer-
tanned just how far Europe would
back her up. If Poland is condemned
by posterity the indictment will be
based on transgressions that success
would have glorifed as the highest
measure Of far-seeing intelligence.
For not only did Poland 60 forth
TO battle for Europe-she went forth
with a constructive program. Pill
sudski's venture was half generous
impulse and half sound policy. In a
letter recently printed on this page
William lie Gcndre chairman of the
American Polish Committee, accu-
rately spoke Of Poland's great plan
"to unite the border states of Russia
into a friendly Slavic federation, to
work in cooperation to bring order
cut of chaos in central Europe and
in stricken Russia HERSELF
That plan, and not dreams Of ro-
mantle imperialism for which he is
reproached by Poland's uncandid
critics. inspired pilsudsli and caused
HIM to work together with his for
mer adversary, Petlura, the UlSrai-
nian commander. The hope that the
plan may yet be accomplished should
be shared by all friends Of peace and
democracy.
An energetic attempt is in prog
ress, supported largely by the same
elements which plead for German
imperialism, to make it appear that
Poland attacked Bolshevik Russia
Nothing of the sort. She Went into
the Ukraine to help the Ukrainia
to expel an alien Bolshevik garri-
son quarterod on them, and to be
true to her share Of an agreement
made with Petlura, the responsible
Ukrainian leader
VIII this attempt succeed? It may
seem in vogue now. but it may be
predicted that it viii fail in the end
as did the elaborate propaganda
launched in behalf Of Germany.

from the field OF practical possibili
ties. The mad stubbornness which
led to the rejection of ratification
when obtainable is to continue to
control the dominant element in the
Democratic party. On the other
hand, having landed the Wilson
covenant in the ditch, Governor Cox
Is ardently opposed to making any
new start toward creating league.
Concerning the making of peace
with Germany on the Knox plan.
winch every man of sense knows
must soon be employed if the treaty
continues unratified, the speech is
highly ridiculous. The prcposterous
nonsense is repeated that it would be
shameful to make a separate peace,
as 1t IS called. There is entire oblivi-
BUSINESS to the fact that the other
powers, as was their right, have al
ready made peace with Germany. OBJ
Viously we cannot now unite in con-
Guiding a joint peace, for the other
powers are not at war with Ger
many. Has Governor Cox so poor
an opinion Of the intelligence of his
fellow citizens as to think they can
rot see the simple verities of the
situation?
Wandering in limping fashion
through the maze of the league dis
cussion, Governor Cox is not happier
in his treatment of other issues.
The conclusion can scarcely be avoid
ed that there is a gross lack Of COM
potency. Zachary Taylor has been
called the least adequate mentally
Of our Presidents. Plainly he will
have a rival for this distinction if
Governor Cox is elected. In COM
parison Senator Harding is an in
tellectual giant and statesman of
the highest rank.

A Letter From the Director of War Risk Insurance
Explaining the Hospital Plans for Ex-Seruice Men

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: During the last few days I have
read several comments published in The
Tribune regarding the governments pro-
gram for the care and treatment of its
disabled veterans of the World War, and,
arpreciating your interest in all matters
affecting ex-service men, particularly
those who have suffered injury or disease
as a result of their military or naval
service during the World War; I am glad
to take this opportunity of outlining to
You, more or less in detail the important
facts regarding the governments hos
pitalizaton program.
In the rapid rehabilitation of troops
and in the rapid increase in the number
of cx-servce men and women requiring
disqualification after their discharge it
became absolutely necessary to make use
Of every available hospital bed in pri-
vate hospitals, Including state and coun-
ty sanatoria, for the care and treatment
of these patients, for it was impossible
lo1 1iie SoNei iiHlSll0 10 acquire ny lease
or otherwise, adequate hospital facilities.
This absolute lack of available proper
ties suitable for conversion into hospi-
tails and sanatoria by the government
compelled the scattering of war patients
in many private and public institutions,
until, at the present time, there exists
a wide distribution of the more than
1900 war risk patients in over 1000
hospitals located throughout the coun-
try, including approximately 1880 pa
ticnts in the State Of New York alone
who are being cared for in l4S hospitals
and sanatoria

Rerietc Of Cases Promised

In order to make 0oubly certain that
the program is carried out as original
ly intended | would be Glad to lave the
case of every disabled soldier, sailor
and marine now receiving treatment in
a hospital or sanotorium in the State
OF New York reviewed with every ex-
actness. Where in the opinion Of the
physician in charge of the patient and
of the patient himself, it is not be-
leved 70 be to the best interests of
the patient that he be moved notihca-
tion should be given Immediately to
the district superintendent of the
United States Public Health Service in
charge of District No ,, at % West
Fortythird Street, New York City. so
that immediate and personal atten-
ton may be given to the requirements
of each individual case.
In reviewing the present status Of
each patient, however, in consideration
OF his transfer to another hospital or
sanitariuN1, whether located within the
State of New York or elsewhere, we
must consider, primarily. whether or
not the health of the patient might be
improved by such transfer and not
neglect the opportunity of transfer if
such course is in the best interests
of the patient.
1t is important before closing that

joint resolution No will not be made

Twenty Years Late

is II snort memory or merely
youth that tricked Governor Cox into
his paan in praise of that horror Of
horrors to the Democrats of 1900,
Republican ''imperialism' in Porto
Rico, Cuba and the Philippines? The
Kansas City platform Of that year
wasted all the known adjectives IN
denouncing Republican policy touch
ing these matters. 1t was para
mounted" with all the vigor of Dem
ocratic eloquence And Mr.. Bryan
went around the country weeping
copiously over our war of criminal
aggression"
Yet Mr.. Cox, in order to prove
that only the Wilson league can save
the world and that it is wrong to IN
sist upon Americanism first and in
ternationalisp second. launches into
this high praise Of Republican do
ings overseas:
"They preach Americansm with
meaning of their own invention and
artfully appeal to selfish and pro-
vincial spirit, forgetting that Lincoln
fought war over the purely moral
question of slavery and that McKin-
ley broke the fetters of our boundary
lines, spoke the freedom of Cuba, and
carried the torch of American ideal
ism to the benighted Philippines"
Poor Mr.. Bryan! What is left Of
his paramounts" What is left of
the historic Democratic policy Of
separatism and little America
And to complete the Republican
record Governor Cox cites the work
that Elihu Root, as q private citizen,
by the invitation Of the league, has
been doing for international Justice
at The Hague. The only effective
functioning of the league, in short,
is headed by this former Republican
Secretary Of State, to whose distin-
guished mind the nations of Europe
turn as a matter of course for
leadership in this most vital devel-
opment Of world peace. We wonder
why Governor Cox did not add that
the Republican plank on the League
of Nations, which he so loudly de-
nounces, was written by the pen of
this same Elihu Root.
Governor Cox does make out a
clear case for Republican leadership
in world affairs. He proves beyond
question that, as a party and by
virtue Of its great men, it has led the
nation toward the assumption of
world responsibilities. 1t was a
great Republican, Theodore Roose
velt, who led the nation into the
World War despite all that a great
Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, could
do to hold it to a policy OF aloofness
and little Americanism. Governor
Cox has made an impressive plea for
turning over to his opponents the
business OF recasting the league SO
as to clear it Of impractical inter-
nationalism injected into it by
Democratic President who, like his
party, had not studied and aid not
understand the international prob
lens at stake.
