CALLS SfLESIA DECISION
A EUROPEAN CALAMITY
Jeopardizes German Policy,
Says Chancellor With.
81 the associated Press.


BERLIN, Oct. 13.--Chancellor wirth.
Sat specially convened meeting Of
American newspaper correspondents to-
day, explained the situation facing Ger
cision of the council of the League Of
Nations respecting Upper Silesia.
Speaking with considerable feeling, the
Chancellor described the decision as a
European calamity and as an act which
the whole German nation fel. was j
tremendous miscarriage of justice and
calculated to jeopardize Germany 3
policy. heretofore followed, of honestly
fulfilling her, engagements to the Allies
mass OF figures submitted to the
correspondents showed that on the basis
OF the reported partition forty-three Of
the sixty-seven Upper Silesian coal
mines would go to Poland, whereby Ger
man production would be reduced from
31.760.000 tons to 11.500.000 tons. OF
the 266, 900 tons of zinc ores only $4,000
remain German; OF the $4,000 tons of
lead ores only 5000 remain to Ger
many. and OF the 3.4o0 tons Of sulphur
ores only 1000.
1t appears that large parts Of the
property OF the well known Donners-
marck family. and likewise that belong
ing to Count Tiele- Winckler and other
aristrocratic families. besides big prop
critics owned by the Prussian State, are
destined to become Polish.
The Chancellor. who began by saying
he would not desert his office in this
difficult hour, but that the fate Of the
present Government law with the Relchs-
tag, said that the press reports OF the
councils decision, which he had reason
to believe were correct, had caused such
a storm of excitement throughout the
country that the situation might be
called critical. Resentment was deep
and genuine and extended to all parties.
The decision could only be described as
appalling.
Recalling that Beuthen and Koenigs-
huette and Kattowitz had voted German
by approximately 75 to S5 per cent ma
jrority, the Chancellor dec Jared that II
these towns were handed over to Poland
1t would be resented throughout Ger
many as q gross injustice. The Ger
man people were reconciled to losing
some territory. where Polish majority
had, been clearly established, but the loss
Of these townships would come as
terrible disappointment.
I'VE were doing our utmost to fulfill
our obligations, as witness the constant
attacks of the Nationalists on US ;nlilse-
wise the fall OF the marx, continued
the Chancellor. I'VE were anxious to
help rebuild Europe, reconstruct the
economic system OF the world and dispel
the atmosphere OF hatred We had
hoped to find recognition of this among

ernu.sar can only continue this policy il
SUPPORTED by a majority Of the German
.ytopie: the loes of that support would

standpoint of contesting the verdict as
contrary to the peace treaty. Chancellor

the Government regarded the partition
of Silesia as "a bitter injustice"
