GUERILLA FIGHTING

White Russians and Ukrai-
nian Jews Resent Alleged
Determinations by Warsaw.
NY r, A. MACKENZIE.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago. Daily News
MOSCOW, October THE situation
in eastern Poland is causing serious
uneasinesS. A large section or the
white Russian and Ukrainian Jewish
population there is in a state of vir-
tual rebellion against the Warsaw
government. adopting all of the usual
ruses of guerilla fighting. attacking
estates wrecking trains. raiding
towns and surprising frontier posts.
These partisans apparently are
growing bolder daily. few days
ago so men attacked the Bothanze es-
tate defended by 42 uhlans. Martial
law has been declared but the Polish
population say their government Is
shilly -shallying and feeble and de-
maLd that it proceed against the par
tisans, not as politicals, but as ban
dts. A number of refugees are seek
ing shelter across the Russian border.
Trouble In Ceded Area.
The trouble centers mainly in the
area ceded to Poland under the treaty
Of Riga following the Russo-Polish
war. 1t has hardened since the coun-
Gil of ambassadors defined exactly
Poland'S eastern border in March.
1928 The old population here is
overwhelmingly white Russian and
Ukrainian Jewish.
They complain that Poland is
treating them unfairly, prosecuting
their priests, endeavoring to force
the Polish language on them, main
tanning a cruelty severe police sys-
tenn, restricting liberty of the press
and public meeting and not remedy
ing bad economic conditions.
Their complaints. which are empha-
sized in diplomatic notes going from
the Soviet government to Warsaw,
have been increased month by month.
The Poles openly suspect that Rus
sia is encouraging these uprisings
by arms. men and money This Mos
COW absolutely denies.
Moscow sympathetic.
While Moscow makes no secret of
the sympathy of Russians and
Ckrainians with their former ma
tionals In Poland, whom they con-
slider badly treated. it is endeavoring
to obtain improvement, not by fos-
tering uprisngs. but by seeking con-
ference between the two govern
ments.
There has been much talk of a
deal between Russia and Poland. the
former granting concessions and a
commercial treaty in return for re-
adjustment of the Eastern frontier
situation.
A serious conflict between the Rus
sian and Polish governments would
be inimical to the interests of both.
destroying hopes of an early eco
nomic recovery. The governments
know this and the Russian peasants
are particularly adverse to any idea
of war. but while the present sit
uation continues dangers threaten.
