By FRANK COMERFORD,
The problems of Russia and unrest
are up to the nations of the world.
Russia's problem affects the world. It
must be solved by the powers ln con-
cert. Its solution. will make the first
step toward rest. The complete solu-
tion of the problem of unrest must be
decided by each nation in its own way.
I asked two important Slav leaders
for their opinions as to the proper
policy the world should adopt toward
the bolsheviks, and the Russian prob-
lem. In Prague I spoke to President
Mazyrik of (Czecho-Slovakia; In War-
saw 1 interviewed General Pilsudskl,
president of Poland. Both answered
the question in practically the same
words: “Leave Russia alone; let the
Russian people solve the Russian
question.”
What is the Russian situation? A
minority has seized the government
and is holding it by force. The form
of government adopted cannot last.
Communism will destroy itself If given
sufficient rope. Already It has de-
stroyed production and brought
chaos. The great danger bolshevism

“We have no ambulances at the
front and our soldiers going Into bat-
tle know that if they are wounded and
are not fortunate enough to fall near
a field hospital, they are doomed to
die of neglect and exposure or come
to death by torture from Chinese mer

“Help must come, and it must come
soon, Our troops are willing to fight
on: this is their glorious spirit, but
they are only flesh and there is a point
at which the finest spirit surrenders to
coid and hunger apd pain.”
Appeals were made to the peace
table for help. They fell on deaf ears.
Grent stocks of clothing were locked
up In England and France while the
Polish army shivered at the bolshevik
front. 1 saw locomotives and empty

The bholshevika must be shut in,
They must be confined to Russia, If
the “Red” army breaks through Po
land, Europe will blaze and bleed from

guarding the pass. She is not fighting
Poland's fight; she is not fighting for
territory or war spoils, She is trying
to hold back the threatening terror.
It is the duty of the world to come to
her support generously, It Is not
enough to help her with munitions and
army equipment, To keep up the
morale of the Polish army It 1s neces-
sary to help the home flank. Poland
does not want charity. She asks for
her due. She Is morally entitled to
support. If she Is not given It, she
will erumble before the onslaught of
the Reds; the world will pay the price.
She Is starting her life as a nation.
By her position In Europe she is éalled
upon to hold back the revolutionury
horde, the bolshevik terror. In the
meantime she must build her house
and organize her life,
