' ven the policy f Hi v imning theollsh dlstrlcta, which has been car red on for aome yeara, haa not chatu?el( the character of the native people, wh'.th remains strongly Polish. The three parts of this extensive Polish region now brought together are: Prus sian Toland. including the four provinces of Posen. west Prussia, east Prussia and nnnee Silesia, with a DODlllatlon of 7.G00,- 0i0, of which 8.&00 are Poles; Austrian Po land, comprising Oallcla and lower BUesia, with S. 400,000 population! or which about half are Poles; Russian Poland, Includ ing the province of Poland, with U.MO.OW population, chiefly Poles, and what are known aa the , annexed provlncea of Kovno, Vllna, Grodno, Minsk, Mohllew and Vitebsk, having a conglomerate pop nlatlon of little and white Kusslsns, Poles, Lithuanians and Ruthenlans. These are the three great Polish brgmhea which are now wholly or largely under German control. I wish to permit It to become a Polish! country." Thli the prohlem which the new 0r man rerlme will have to deal with, and which the Russlana have not been able lo solve. Aa showing how Poland has succeeded In resisting Russlanlsation, Mr. lrrtowkl cites the curious fact that while Russian officials controlled the election machinery, Polish votes sent solid Polish delegations to the Duma. At one time. In the second Duma, they had forty-six votes and held almost a bal ance of power In passing the budget. In order to put a stop to such Polish au thority, the number of delegates from Poland was cut to twelve, a portion of them being elected to represent the whole people and a portion representing the llussluns. For example, the government of Vilna electa five delegates for the whole population and two for the Rus sian population, so that In the Duma there are two seta of Folish dcleRalos, one representing the whole people of Po land, with Mr. Dmowski for some years at the head of thla delegation, and an other set elected from the same places to represent the P.upslsns. These nre the peculiar Internal condi tions which are now coming under Ger man authority, at least during the mili tary occupation, when It is exacted that a German civil regime will be set up In p'ace of the Russlsn administration. And In view of Russia's experience, ntereet is centering on whether Germany will fol low a slmllnr course of Germanizing the Polish territory, or will seek to reconcile ti e Poles by bringing their three branches together under some form of autonomous govrrninent.

The regime which the Germans' will set up In Russian Poland la being awaited with the keeneat interest by the Polish element, aa It will determine whether the polkcy will bet to reconcile the Polea and bring the three branchea together again, or to use thla rich region for Oerman colonisation, gradually Germanising It and extinguishing the - aeparate Polish spirit. This latter haa been the policy of Kuasla, and the dtfftcultlea It haa had after yeara of effort indicates the dif ficulties ahead for the German regime, whichever course it adopts. Mr. Dmowski sums up Poland's position under Russia aa that of a military occu pation, with all the admlnlatratlon at Warsaw and elsewhere carried on by Russian offlolala, the schools and uni versities conducted by Russian teachera and teaching tha Russian langusge, the police entirely Rustlan, and tha whole direction ot affairs in Rusalan hands. And yet, he adds, after forty yeara of Russian effort Poland still remains dis tinctly Polish, with the great business In stitutions, commerce and agriculture car ried on by Polea. "It la exactly tor thla reason." Mr. Dmowski asserts, "that .Poland la In ona of the atrangsst posit ions that can be Imagined; the atata which poaseaiea It does not know what to do with It; It haa not found tha means ot transforming It Into a Russian country, and It does not NOW IN EAST PRUSSIA according to the existing ciiBltuns.
