If the Polish terms outlined in the Daily Express of
Thursday are authentic, the peace conference should have no difficulty, when it reassembles, in coming to an agreement. Poland will accept the frontier fixed by the Allies, though she would like a little more of what used to be Polish territory. Poland will not disarm, for the defeated Bolsheviks cannot impose eau& a condition on the victors. Poland and the Bolsheviks are to make reparation, one to the other, for damage done. Poland will guarantee facilities for traffic between Russia and Germany along one railway. With goodwill and common sense on both aides, a treaty on these lines should be speedily ratified. It would be a crime against humanity if military ambitions, whether at Moscow or at Warsaw, were to wreck this promising chance of ending the war.
