MAY HAVE TO GO TO RESCUE OF POLAND British Public Alarmed Over Possibilities of The Situation London, Ju'y 23.?The British 1 u-.!c is distuibed by the possibility Cc :if renting it that the Allies r.iay Le compelled to enter another Ilur pean war to save Poland. This i:o.-ition was made plain by Premier * J' rinAvirn'j cnoonVi in fVw? T-T'miCP A-.!?. U. O oyvvvii i > v??v **vv.wv cf Commons Wednesday, and all the newspapers are .speculating i.4jon it. Heretofore the impression has luer. that England's part, if Poland were faced with invasion by the JUoIsheviki, as it now appears to be faced, would be limited to furinshing munitions. Mr. Lloyd George's statement that Great Britain is bound to give every assistance in iier power to save Poland and that he may be compelled "to place the \viiole position before parliament," however, is interpreted to mean .u-ch more than that. Virtually the only opposition to the premier?although it is importir,r. onnosition?comes from the labor party. That party criticises the premier for advocating strong measures to stop the war when the Bolsheviki are winning, arguing that he should have used his power to prevent Poland waging war against the Bolsheviki. This new crisis is unpopular, even if ,as appears, it is unescapable. Judging from the tone of the newspapers, mainly because it involve the expenditure of more lives, and because the country had come, according to general belief, about to the limit of bearabje taxation, the chief political issue recently having been a growing and organized demand fo the reduction of I the government's expenditures.
