German government that our
- surplus supplies of wheat be ex-
changed for their surplus stocks
Of coal, already mined and ready for
shipment, as yet has failed of realiza-
ton. Why this should be so is most
difficult to understand, for while Ger
many has no use for the vast quantities
of coal piled high beside the mine shafts
in the Ruhr Valley, our railroads and
other industries could employ this fuel
to exceptional advantage.
On the other hand, there Is no COM
modify Germany needs more at the
present time than wheat to feed her
hungry citizens. How unfortunate it is
that when such mutual benefit could
be accomplished. considerations of poll
tics and commerce should interdict the
perfection of the plan. We are not for
getful that an almost identical sugges-
ton that German coal be exchanged for
Brazilian coffee likewise ended in dis

Pilsudski Takes
Needed Rest in Egypt.
The Egyptian Gazette, Cairo.-Marshal
Joseph Pilsudski arrived In Egypt re-
Gently from Europe. His health has not
been quite satisfactory of late and. in
his Goth year, he has found the hard
Polish Winter very trying during the
past few months. So. on medical ad-
vice, he has come to Egypt to take an
extended cure at Heluan.
Pilsudski has been called the savior
of Europe on account of his defeat OF
the Soviet armies before Warsaw in
August, 1920, and 1t is now possible
to see the personal as clearly as the
political significance Of his victory.
Born at time when the Inflated ris-
ing Of 1868 was still fresh in peoples
minds, and brought up on the forbid
den poets Mickiewicz Krasinski and
Slowacki. he became Socialist and
devoted his young life to combating the
policy Of Standardization which Russia
pursued in Poland.
After i've years exile In Eastern
Siberia. he made up for enforced idle
ness by an intense activity in propa-
ganda. The hazards Of the secret print
Ing and distribution Of illegal books
and papers were great.
For example. Nine. Pilsudski once
made q railway journey with i've and
half stone Of printed matter hidden
under her dress. In 1900 Ptlsudski was
arrested, but escaped from prison by
feigning madness; during the Russo
Japanese War he actually Travelled to
Toxic to seek support in raising Po-
Ish legion, and from 1906 onward de-
voted much attention to o close study
