writing this article is but a, sum-
mary of his previous ,ntteTances.
We shall return to it when Mr..
Stresemann will give explanations
to the expected interpretations of
the Communists and the National
lists. While it is true that the latter
cannot, because of their own poll
teal compromises with the "West-
ern orientation," seriously endang-
er his position, it is equally true
that they will not let pass a SPLEEN
did occasion to attack their poll
teal antagonist.
AS to the Communists they will
surely demand better proofs of
Stresemann's loyalty to the Rapallo
and Berlin treaties with the Soviet
Union than his honorable word" By
the way, the latest utterance of the
Polish Minister Zalewski, directed
against Germany and showing lean
ing toward an understanding with
the Soviet Union is but another proof
of the absolute instability of the pres
ent world situation). T. L.
IN Thursday, the 23rd, the German
y foreign minister, Stresemann was
expected to explain in the Reichstag
what had happened at the recent SEES
sion Of the Council of the League of
Nations at Geneva and at the same
time to answer the --latest" aggressive
speech of Poincare, directed against
the "conciliatory policy" of the French
Foreign Minister BRAND towards Ger
many. According to press informa-
ton, Stresemann would raise the
whole question of the Locarno treaty
and its value to Germany while ex-
planning why he, Stresemann, has,
against hopes and expectations, re-
turned from Geneva with empty
hands" instead of bringing with him
the demanded reduction of the French
military forces of occupation in the
Rhineland as we'll as other "compen-
sations" for the planned betrayal Of
the Soviet Union.
SIMULTANEOUSLY the news pub
y lished here about the behavior of
the Polish authorities in the matter
of the numbering of the Soviet Am
bassador Voikoff-particularly after
the surely ordered declarations of the
Polish Minister Zalewski in Geneva
shows clearly that a good deal of
the stories coming from Geneva and
telling of Poland's urgent pleading
with the big powers not to "irritate"
the Soviet Union by united campaign
against her was mere propaganda.
Apparently the back of Mr.. Zalewski
has been "stiffened" in Geneva as
only this can explain the manner in
which the sentence against the coun-
ter-revolutionary youth has been COM
mented upon in Poland as we'll as the
purposeful levity with which the mat
ter is now being treated by the Polish
government IN. Y. Times, May 21) /;
both, il true, are absolutely indica-
tive of a more rigid attitude on the
part of the Polish government in the
negotiations now being conducted with
the Soviet government.
THESE dispatches mark but the first
repercussions of the "blow up" in
Geneva. However, the failure there,
which for the present has made diff
ficult a concerted attack of the powers
upon the Workers Republic and thus
relieved somewhat the anxiety and
tension felt by all revolutionary ele-
ments throughout the world, is by no
means over. The enemies of the Sow
let Republic, and foremost among
them the English die-hard govern
ment, are intriguing against her af-
ter the Geneva failure with no less
energy than before. In the best case
they have but delayed their attack
up to the time when they are able to
overcome the differences arising from
their greedy imperialist coverings.
Moreover, there are indications that
the tory government and some of its
satellites are now engaged in vic
ious scheme by all means to provoke
the Soviet government to some rash
action. Still, the truth remains that
the Geneva session of the council has
proved with regard to the anti-Sov-
let schemes an absolute failure, that
will necessitate a new series Of diplo-
m tic bargainings, concessions
threats and all other means to bring
about a united counter-revolutionary
front, which in the language of the
capitalist press is called the ''peace of
Europe"
HOWEVER, in order to get a clearer
- view of the present situation with
regard to the attack upon the Soviet
Union and to understand the mean
ing of the mostly yelled press reports
from the capitals of Europe (and
