In a leading article entitled "The Treaty of Peace" published
on Thursday week, the Manchester Guardian has the following sentence : "You cannot with impunity violate national self- consciousness or place people of a higher civilization under those of a lower, the implacable adherents ii one religion under the fanatical professors of another." A reader unfamiliar with the ratiocinations of the Manchester Guardian might suppose that the writer was referring to tile impossibility of placing the Protestants of Ulster under an Ultrarnontane Parliament in Dublin. Rat the faithful reader of the Manchester Guard ion knows better. He therefore will not be in the least surprised to find that this argument is applied to Poland. For mime inscrutable reason the admirable principle here expressed by the Manchester Guardian with so much forcer is withheld from Ulster. The Manchester Guardian sees nothing wrong, when Irish not Polish affairs are the issue, in placing "implacable adherents" under "fanatical professors."
