MCDONALD STATEMENT
Communication Is Addressed to
 w. l.. White

T. C. Mcdonald yesterday issued are following open statement addressed to W. L. White T have lived long in Birmingham and my character for truth and yer acity has been and remains one ol my most precious possessions.
 Tt is too late for any young man, moved by enthusiasm for a bad cause, if by no worse motive, to hurt me now.
 Il advise you to so live that what ever your enemies may hereafter say about you, they will not truthfully Accuse you of misrepresentation
 While you have made bad start. there is yet hope. l regret to see a young man of whom some people have thought well, reconcile his conscience to the support of a bad cause. and to making of so many wild statements for MT. Batson. But if you shall truly repent, your fellow citizens may. in the years to come, forgive. though they can never forget your misrep- rssentations.

lead to the disadvantage of British in
dustry has been much criticized.
Poland Is sort of political ward of
France. The two countries arc in
alliance and a strong Poland and weak
Germany are the two main objectives
of the French continental policy. Carry
ing IL out, the French Government has
backed Poland against Russia and
against Germany. It hns trained and
officcrcd the Polish Army. 1t has only
TO disapprove the Polish adventure into
Silesia to have Poland show n more
active desire to restrain Korfanty, the
Polish D'Annunzic.
Lloyd George served notice on
France that she must call her ally off
the back Of Germany.
More than that, he indicated that
England will not support France in its
purpose to award the Silcsian coal field
to Poland as the result of the recent
plebiscite. The discretion of the Su-
prcme Council in this matter is un-
limited. The terms under which the
plebiscite was held are not perfectly
explicit. If the award Is made by dis
tricts. Poland will obtain practically all
the mineralized sections of Silesia.
But Lloyd George intimated by his
speech that he was not greatly i'm
pressed by the Polish claim to lands
which were Polish only by virtue of the
number of Poles brought to them by
their German owners to work the
mines.
Moreover, the award by districts
would make a curious and impossible
patchwork Of Silesia, intermixing Ger
man and Polish territory. 1t is ap..
parently to bring about II solid Polish
area which it would be practicable to
award to Poland that Korfanty has
made his raid.
The Silesinn coal fields are more or
less essential to botn Poland and Ger
many. Poland can hardly become the
strong industrial country that French
diplomacy contemplates without this
coal and the loss Of the Silesian coal
would considerably restrict Germany''
F'economic future.
Although this Administration ex-
presses no intention to concern itself
with Silesia. It il to be noted that AM
bassador Wallace, who sits in the Coun
Gil of Ambassadors for President Hard
ing, has called for all the papers in
the Siesian dispute. The policy OF
this country being to seek the economic
recovery of Europe, and as means to
IL. the payment of reparations by Ger
many, the Administration will hardly
wish to see Germany stripped of Slesian
coal. Formally we may take no part
in the disputes. practically We are a
powerful influence, as Mr.. Lloyd
Georges remonstrance to France plainly
shows.
British diplomacy is to draw close to
the United States, not to break with
France but to drag France along with
her in supporting British American
policies throughout the world. Lloyd
George followed that plan in the repara
tions negotiations, sparing French
pride by announcing that, II necessary
he would support France fully in the
occupation of the Ruhr, but all the
time behind the scenes indicating tc
France that terms must be offered to

In the siles.an dispute he is playing
the same role. With Britain taking
the side she does, this country may cor
rectly and formally take no part In the
controversy, while Britain sees to 1t
that the American desire prevails.
Now Close Together
The result IL that there has not been
a time since Mr.. Lloyd George sup
ported Mr.. Wilson against Clemcnceau
at Paris when the British and Amer.-
can Governments were closer together

are issues between Washington and
London. like the Mesopotamian question.
but Mr.. Hughes will let them rest while
England and the United States in
formally co operate on the larger ques-
tions now before the Supreme Council.
A compromise between Germany and
Poland and q division Of the Silesian
mines IL probably the way out. It will
be desired by every one to give Poland
the possibility of economic development
and stability. A national line can prob
ably be drawn somewhere in the coal
field which will give Poland those dis
tricts which went Polish in the
plebiscite, which are contiguous to
Poland and make continuous territory
with her and which will not strip Ger
many Of coal essential TO her stability.
