Poles SOrrOU.
Asserts Wit0s

Warsaw, May 19.-Premier Witos.
speaking in the diet Thursday, declared
the speeches of the British prime min
lister. Mr.. Lloyd George. on the Silesian
situation, had caused the Polish people
much sorrow. He displayed German
text books to refute the statement of
Mr.. Lloyd George that the population
of Upper Silesia was German. declar-
ing they admitted the population to
be of Polish race and language.
The premier said Poland would re-
spect the treaty OF Versailles. but ask.
ed that the part of Upper Silesia bor-
dering Poland be Joined to her, in ac-
cordance with the desire of the people
of that region. By revolving. he de-
chred. the Poles of Upper Silesia did
not intend to face the allies with an
accomplished fact but were prompted
by despair and the fear of being put
under German domination in opposition
to their will
N, Witos justified the attitude of the
Polish government in the mensures
taken to calm Upper Silesia and end
the insurrectionary movement. He as
serted its efforts had met with success.
for the general strike had ended. the
workmen had resumed work and in
some districts complete pacification had
been effected Pacification would be
complete. he declared. if the insurrec-
tion did not fear an attack by Germans
on the Oder.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges remarks. the pre-
mier said. would not aid in bringing
calm to Upper Silesia, but instead
would increase the fear of German
aggression, thus making the position of
the Polish government difficult.
