London, Jan. 26.—What is going to happen to Poland? Anxious hours are ahead for thia restored nation, which stands in a Precarious position, politically and economically, as Europe seethes: and boils with new troubles. Alarmists give warning that Po- land must bolster her defenses to stand between western Europe and the peril of Bolshevism, especially now that the Ruhr incidents have revived talk of alliance between Rus- sia and Germany against the allies. Poland stands between, geographi- cally—Russia to the east and Ger- many to the west. She- stands be- tween in an economic sense, too. Poland is not as badly off as Aus- tria, but is worse off than Germany. Badly in debt, with her. currence. of little value in the world markets, she has potential enemies on both sides of her, and internally she has trouble with racial and religious min- orities. Meanwhile Poland is spending vast amounts on her army. The war de- partment costs more than one-qu: ter of the entire estimated ‘expendi. tures arid just about one-third of the estimated receipts of the govern- ment. Hope for the future is pinned to M. Wojciechoswki, the new president, who was elected as successor to the ill-fated Narutowicz, the first consti- tutionally elected president of Po- land .recently shot and killed by an sin. Although the new president was elected by the same political com- bination that put Narutowicz in of- fice—a circumstance which impelled WOPCIECHOWSKI, PRESIDENT OF ; POLA broom of the war swept_Back and forth across her territory, she has been menaced by Bolshevism without and within, and today has to fear not only Soviet Russia, but a German, which is only biding her time to seck to recover Upper Silesia. As a result, Poland maintains’ a large and expensive army and, de- pending largely Ypon French friend shap, has concluded trade treaties which make France a most” favored land are far better customers in Po- nation, although Germany .and Eng- lish markets. “Never Fails” makes good bread.
