ON POLISH FUEEDOM
Conductor Snys Problem Is Too
Complex Ulcrgymnn uoubta
Teutons' Sincerity
Leopold Stokowskl, conductor of the
rMMdelplila Orchestra, talked today of the
declaration bj the Teuton monarch for
Polish Independence. His opinions would
be of Interest because ho la' probably tho
' most prominent rhlladelphlnn born of a
roVrb father,
Mr. Stokowskl talked Kenerally rather
than particularly. That freedom for To.
land would be welcomed by the Poles ho
had no doubt, nnd added!
"' . -! trm .1... mall Ma..!....
"It Is a s ivk "" 1I4IIIUU,
With nations It la Just na with communi
ties and tho e-mail Jiave-to submit to the
strong, Because they nro often wronged
they now resent nil Interference. You can
see for yourself right In your own town:
down In the slums tho housewives resent
help een when they need It. They would
rather live nnd make their own way.
"Poland has hated the domination of
Russia and would, I bucss. lmte to bo dom
inated by the Central Empires. She wants
to be free to govern Itself If one
achieves this sho will undoubtedly bo happy.
Hut what the effect of It will bo I can't
tell. It' foolish to try. I hato to rend
these 'ofThand opinions about complex af
fairs and t wouldn't be so conceited as to
think mine would bo worth nhy. When ono
considers the complexity of Austro-Hun-carlan
politics, nnd adds to that German
and Polish politics, It Is well-nigh Impossi
ble to venture nn opinion on tho future of
Poland ns nn Independent stnte. Besides
knowing tho history of Polnnd for tho last
100 years, you would have to know all
about conditions over there now, nnd we
don't know that."
Mr. Stokowskl was told that dispatches
from England quote the press thero ns say
ing that the reason for forming Jhe Polish
free state was to organise a Polish army
and use" It for the benefit of the Central
Empires. Ho laughed, then said :
"Isn't It wearisome to read. Why do
thmey bother to say It? One always knows
beforehand what each sldo Is going to nay.
We" could say It for thcrrt nnd savo our
iolcs the trouble of reading It. Everybody
knew England would say that. Each side
draws conclusions that serve Its purpose
best. It M Irritating to read, and certainly
not flattering to be asked to bcllcvo such
things "
Mr. Stokowskl would not d'scuss what ho
himself thought of tho granting of Polish
Independence by tho German Kaiser1 and
Austro-IIungnrlnn Kjnpcror. He rested
with what ho thought the Poles would be
lieve.
While the Central Powers nre about It
they should declare tho Independence of
German Poland und Austrian Poland along
with the Kettlng up of Russian Poland as nn
Independent monarchical kingdom, thinks
the P.ev. Joseph Kuczynskl, rector of St.
Xadlslas's Church, Hunting Park and Gcr
mantown nenues.
The Polish clergyman believes that Ger
many's concern for Russian Poland's In
dependence loses Its Inster while Germany
and Austria cling to the Polish territories
they wrested away In 1772.
"I think," he said, "that If they return
something, they should return everything.
Russia, Germany und Austria divided Poland
Into three parts In 1772, nnd now the Cen
tral Powers mention tho independence of
tlalac i a without mentioning other territories
.that they took.
"It is too early to talk-about the effect
of the proclamation, but I believe that
Polish people In America, while thankful
rwV. nA rfBar ll as a genuine Magna
mKtaor Dcclnratlon of Independence."
The Rev-. Mr. Kuczynkl is Inclined to aook
with suspicion on the stntement that "the
SStaf".?hUon' of the anclent "
JJ?..m .i memory f 'e brave com
radeship In tho urcatnvar of our days shall
revive In a national army."
"It is for their own benefit," ho said.
