No mooner was she re-created, as a result of Allied victory in the first war than she began the very same sort of aggression of- which the central powers were guilty in World War I. She attacked Lith- uania and Soviet Russia. She in- cluded by force within her bound- aries vast minorities which groan- ed for their own freedom. Thus she was completely surrounded by nations which disputed the justice of their own borders with Poland. And within Polish bord- ers minorities like Jews and Ukrainians complained to the out- side world that they were mincir- ities in Nazi Germany. Poland's last and worst pre- war blunder was when in March, 1939, she ganged up with Adolf Hitler ta tear apart the finest little democracy in central Europe - namely Czechoslovakja. Thus she cut from under her own feet the moral basis for future complaint at similar treatment to herself. These facts are worth remnem- bering now. For while much is uncertain about the aftermath of this war, some things are already obvious. One is that Poland cannot live in future as a sort of Ishmaelite among the nations - with her hand against every. man and every man's hand against her. She needs the solid friendship of at least one of her powerful neigh- bours. It will not be easy for her to achieve real friendship with Soviet Russia. But a glance at her great blunder of May 12, 1939, rnay help to enable her to reach a decision. And a figurative glance westward from Poland at G.ermany mnight help put her problem in its proper perspective: Et may be hard for Poland to be real friends with Russia; but it is going to be a lot harder to be friends of the nation which did to the whole Polish population what no oCher nation ever suffered since-the days of Attila the Hun. PARTLY RIGHT The Poles were right in one ninor aspect of their decision of MIay 12 1939. That was that an alliance as then proposed would have made Germany feel more en- circled. She would have felt that way because it would have heen ue. But if Germany wanted to avoid any unwelcome resuits of tat encirclement ail she had ta o0 was to abandon criminal in- intions against her neighbours. Germany had her choice. Ge- )graphy encircled ber with other iations. Nothing could change the 3vious fact that she lived in the aart of continental Europe. She ould either encircle herseif with riends or enemies. She chose to nake ail her neighbours enemies iy trying to make fhema outright laves. Now what Germany feared- ,a would-be criminal always ars the resuit o! failure of in- omplete success for his intended rimes-is coming to pass. From ail sides the outside 7rld is getting ready ta close in nHitler, the Nazis and Ger- lany. The last remnants o! the Axis rmies are being wiped out of îrica. On the east is the mighty ussian army. After almost two ears of war with the mightiest .gressive machine ever created yevil men the Russian army is onger than it was at the be- rninig; it is relatively even more )werful in comparison with the erman armies. For the Russians ive grown stronger in total front e since June, 1941. The Ger- ans, on the other hand, have 'wn much weaker not only rel- ,vely but actually, in compari- in with their own peak strength. So now, not only from the souf h id east, but also from the north id west outraged humanity is ised to push in on the Nazi iminals. There may be several scenes in elast act o! this world tragedy. it this is the last acf. Hitler's im is sealed. The thing hie ared hais corne to pass. Ger- ny is encircled - and the walls eclosing in on the crimirials hin. One beauty about writing for vspapers, arid not in books, is t the people mostly forgef u r blunders . Occasionally îe systeinatic student, who files ry old newspapers for years k, will say: "Do you remem- rwhen you wrnte such and ýh?" uckily there are more big- arted people in the world than other kind.
