On the Other Hand
Boomerang Possibilities Seen in
Organizing Polish

ing politicians. They're welcome to
1t, with the added suggestion that
they ascertain the real feeling of
the Polish rank and file before they
assume that the spokesmen for the
government in London can "deliv-
er" the Poles in America. If they do
this they are likely to skip this par
ticular opportunity to promote
national disunity.
Evening star., 1944-05-09

ganiZationS that have douptS apou'
the London government in exile,
don't know. The principal purpose
of the meeting, however, 1t is indi-
Gated, is to create central organi-
ization of Poles in this country
designed to affect American policy
with relation to Poland-and Russia
This may not turn out to be a
wise undertaking on the part of its
promoters. The kick-back may be
surprising and unpleasant.
The American people, in due
course, will reach an opinion con-
cerning the disputed boundary line
between Poland and Russia, and
the American people will expect
their government to represent their
opinion in any part it may play
in the final decision. But they will
reach their opinion as Americans
not as Poles or Russians. And they
will resent efforts on the part of
either the Russian government or
the Polish government in London
to use their emigrants to this
country as their instruments in af-
fecting American policy.
U. s. Reds Hurt Russia.
The Russian government suffered
In this country from early efforts
to establish party line" between
Moscow and America; it still suffers
from efforts of Communists in this
country to guess what Moscow is
thinking and to accommodate their
behavior thereto.
These American Communists
have made themselves ridiculous
and they haven't helped Russia. OF
course, they haven't hurt this coun-
try, because of their political i'm
potence; but we have not liked their
conduct, nevertheless, and whenever
they have got themselves out on a
limb, we have enjoyed the business
of saving it off.
There's a lesson in this for any
Poles who may think they can de-
velop an important political bloc
in America designed to serve the
purposes of the government in
exile. They are likely to find them
selves out on a limb.
For another reason, the promoters
of this political enterprise may find
they are making a mistake. 1t is
just possible that the rank and file
of Poles in this country aren't with
them in their hearts. After all,
they had some reason for leaving
Poland in the first place; obviously
there were some things about Po-
land they didn't like. Gould it be
that the government in exile, in
their minds, represents some of
those very things? Could be, and,
If SO, is it wise to stir up memories
of a land and a system of life they
were happy to leave?
Advice to itchy Politicians.
Politicians of a certain kind have
been looking with yearning toward
the development of Polish bloc in
this country that would vote as
Poles, not as Americans, Just as they
hope voters of Irish descent or Ger
man descent will vote as Irishmen
or Germans.
Maybe the advice given herewith
should be given also to those itch

know quality. But examine
texture and weight. hold
the sheet over a dark sur

little to see if any white

would mean that sizing had
been used, and sizing might
cover up poor weaving or

Dry Cleaning
Don'ts

-HE wartime shortage of
dry cleaning and laun-
j dering services has
caused many a housekeeper
TO try to do her own dry
cleaning at home. Safety
and health advisors of the
u. s. Department of Agri-
culture warn that many
persons have been fatally
burned or disfigured while
cleaning garments at home.
So the first and best advice
is: Don't do it,"
Garments may still be
dry cleaned cheaply and far
more efficiently and safely
by dry cleaning establish
ments. Those who still in.
sist on attempting this
work at home should keep
six rules in mind.
