more Jealousies and political aspirations of a selfish character triumphed. Mr. Lloyd George's present concern for some two millions of Germans whose rights have bulked larger to him than the rights of twenty million of Poles, his continued anxiety to produce a peace which Germany will sign, have resulted in a compromise which cannot last, and In a sacrifice which is already apparent. There can be nothing bitterer in all ..the history of the peace conference than the fashion In which poetical exigencies have procured the surren

five millions of people, and all necessary circumstances of national life. This recommendation of the commission was provisionally approved by th8 conference. But to the amazement of everybody, no sooner had Lloyd George come to Paris than he demanded that the Poles solution should be abandoned. He personally assailed President Wilson, who had up to this moment given no attention to the matter, as having sacrificed his principle of self determination of people because In certain areas a German population prevailed. As a consequence the whole subject was sent back to the Allied commission, but this commission steadfastly refus ed to modify lts'decision and reported in favor of its old solution. Exposed to Germans. Thereupon, Lloyd George renewed his attack and after long and intricate discussion has succeeded in im posing a solution which In fact will not only deprive Poland of her outlet to the sea, but exposes her to immediate and continuing attacks from Germany. All the corridor from the old Russian frontier to the ea is now to be placed under the control of the League of Nations, which will delegate some of its powers to Poland, but certain areas Including the city of Dantzlg will preserve autonomy, and since the League of Nations has no method of imposing its decisions nor defending its principles the speedy collapse of the Polish corridor must now be expected. The purpose of Lloyd George in this persistent attack upon Poland is plain. The desire to placate Germany, to provide peace terms which Germany will accept, fears stimulated by the growth of Bolshevism and its advance to Budapest, these have combined to produce the sacrifice of Poland to Germany. If Poland doeB not receive her gateway to the sea, then there is a much greater chance that the Germans will sign the treaty of peace. If the Germans sign the treaty of peace, political profit is apparent. But there can be no mistaking the mraning of this sacrifice. More than twenty millions of Poles will be left at the mercy of a new Germany, without any economic outlet aside from that which Germany may grant, for no one can believe that the Polish corridor will long stand against opportunities provided for German interference, and the Poles will be driven to choose between Bolshevism and Germanism. They will have to decide whether to follow the example of the Hungarians and go to Moscow, or obey the cooler advice of other of their statesmen and seek an understanding with Berlin, with a sacrifice of all their legitimate national aspirations. Unstable Compromise The tragedy of Poland is the outstanding circumstance in these last hours. A century ago at Vienna there was a period when Polish hopes, supported by the Russian Czar, seemed certain of result. There has been a similar period here at Paris, but once
