CHANCE FOR PEACE
POLAND LET SLIP
Impartial Mediators Might Have
Brought It Year Ago,
Friend Writes
Peace between Russia and Poland has
been possible for a year, but its eon
summntion has been hindered because
of the lack of impartial intermediaries,
according to Prnnk A. Wnlscr. ' of
Tlrooklyn,' who is n representative of
the American Friends' service commit
tee in Polnnd.
The opinion was expressed in n letter
received yesterdny nt the headquarters
of the Friends' committee. 20 South
Twelfth street. Mc "Walser is in charge
of agricultural reconstruction nnd hnd
his headquarters in 'Worbkowice on July
fi, the day upon which the letter was
written. Refugees nnd soldiers were
then streaming past his headquarters
nnd tho Bolshevist cavalry were making
rapid gains.
On July 7. two days nfter the letter
was written, the, Friends' committee re
reived n cnblegt-nm from Frederick J.
Iilbby, of Exeter. N. H.. who ns head
of the European workers had his hend
nunrteri at yrnnkfort-on-the-Main,
that because of military conditions
Werbkowice hod been evacuated by the
Friends' workers.
In his letter Mr. Walser said :
"I nin taking n chance of getting this
letter through by the regular Polish
posts, which is renowned for losing let
ters. While I write wngous of soldiers
nnd refugees with their belongings nnd
cows, etc., are streaming past, down the
road to Zamose, due 'west of here.
"I do wish we could offer our services
to the League of Nations or to other
parties for helping in any way toward
peace between Polnnd nnd Itussm.
Pence hns been possible for n year. It
onlv needs impartial intermediaries."
