I gatheresl at the Polish-Gemfian front
in Upper Silesian. 1 talked to the
commander of the Polish military po-
lee in charge of this frofitier. He had
been a viee consul of the Austrian
government in Chicago. In O¢tober,
1019, he had charge of the 80 mlil-
tary stations of the FPolish-German
front. Poland alone of all the coun
tries In Europe, refuses to deal with
Germany. You eannot bring German
goods into Poland. German com.
merce is shut out by law, The fron-
tiers are against her goods,
This 1s the substance of what the com-
mander of the Polish-German frontier
sald to me: “Germany is offering to
sell goods to Poland at prices from
20 to 25 per cent cheaper than Eng-
land and Frafce, We intercept daily
these proposals on the frontier. Ger-
many offers to give longer time to pay
for the goods. I should say on the aver
age she offers to give credit for twice
the period offered by France or Eng-
land.” Could one wish hptter evi-
dence that Germany is coming back?
