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.
