WANTS HELP OF U. S.j** IN SILESIAN DECISION Maximilian Harden Urges Internationali- zation as Best for the People Until Conditions Are More Settled. BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN. Germany's Foremost Publicist. Br Eadio to The Star. BERLIN, May 28.—In the considera. tion of the Silesian problem the al lied supreme council should not only be attended by American Ambassador Harvey, but should have his help in reaching a decision. It is not enough that Col. Harvey merely should at- tend. It is recalled that he was ap- pointed “to participate in the pro- ceedings.” and it is to be hoped his participation in this instance will be a lively one. The problem is whether or mot the former Prussian province of Upper | Silesia shall be parceled out or re- main undivided; whether it shall re- main a Germain sister state or become a Polish province. Does thls prob- lem affect the United States? Thinking only of coal. iron, zine and lead, one may say: “This question does not’ interest us Americans. The Germans have been promised, at any rate, that they shall receive coal un- der the same conditions as the Poles, #nd. if their industry in the future is »tightly more limited, then they will not make the same futile attempts as before the war to offer their goods in all markets. This attempt would be troublesome to the United States, to which, in the future, the exportation of manufactured goods will be much more important than the mere Ship- DIng out of raw materials. Therefore, do with Upper Silesia whatever you like, and don't bore us further with this purely European question.” But this is not a only question of products, but one of peoples. It is not only a question of economics, but also of political morale. Prussian Success in Silesia. What Prussia made of _Silesia, which, when conquered by Frederick the Great, had been an Austrian pro- vince, thinly populated and entirely uncultivated, one must consider. with- out exaggeration, one of the world's best colonizing accomplishments. The Upper Silesian mining_ district came to the point where it could compete with the Rhineland. and through continual technical improve- ments. the extensive development of the schools and the means of trans- portation, the province became rich. All of this, however, was of very little advantage to the peopie born there. This mixed Slavic people or “Polacks” did not. as Lloyd George believes, immigrate for the purpose of working the industries. No. Up- per Silesia, that seven hundred years azo was severed from Poland, is the home of the “Polacks.” It was the Germans who immigrated. And be- cause they knew more and could do m they created. They were more industrious and clever. Consequently they became overpowerful. A ruling caste came into existence. it must be frankly admitted. and almost always prevented even the more industrious and intelligent “natives” from rising o higher spheres. But the Upper Silesian was nét an ili-treated slave. as Paderewski's fortissimo and other Polish rhapsodies iell us, but a second-class citizen and a medium for the purpose of indus- trializing the province. The mine owners, directors and merchants were German. the Upper much about the souls or the human side of the proletarian population. Prussia, after Sparta and Rome, probably the greatest master in na- tionalizaing a people, never learned the humanizing state. It is only owing to these circum- stances that Poland, under whose short rule the formerly flourishing provinces of Posen and East Prussia Lave been thrown back half a cen- tury. was able to receive 40 per cent of the votes in the plebiscite. Hatred of Everything German. In the broad masses of the country nd town. a workifng-class mistrust and hatred of everything German pre- vails. ‘The national contrast is in- creased by a social one, and in the upper classes the argument to whether one intends to become Ger- | man or Polish has caused disunion in the hearts of families- Many a plowhoy miner says: e know it will be worse under Polish manage- ment, but we do not wish to be treated as half-mortals any longer.” Korfanty, the miner's son, rebellion was to save the country far Poland. is worshiped in one place as a savior, and in_ another is cursed into the depths of hell.

Therefore. in spite of the danger of the entente | cordiale being rent asunder, Engiand preaches a noble-minded righteous- ness, to which she seemed to have became estranged when her own in- terests were at stake. It must be admitted that for most Germans and most Poles the treas- ures of the earth are their only in- terest. They do not ask what is to! become of Upper Silesia through the terrible bitterness aroused by the in- citement of national interests when | tomorrow German rule may be pro- claimed here and Polish rule there. International Rule Favored. Both nations probabl test angrily if the supreme council should prociaim a transitory period of internationalization and neutrai- ization to effect pacification. And yvet this _involiable international rule, which would end after a return to quiet common senses and a new and definite plebiscite, is the only means of avoiding perpetual fighting and continually renewed disturbance of the industrial apparatus, as well as the economically disastrous parceling out of the country which now, in accordance with the letter of the peae treaty, is inevitabje. Whether a small people. pursued for many centuries by misfortunes, may at last breathe freely again in independence; whether a nation which accepted from Washington his dogma. of human rights, may today. despotic- ally, in accordance with her fantastic mistrust, control Europe—these seem to be the questions to answer which America called her youths and men away from peaceful work to the Star Spangled Banner and sent them over the Atlantic to the battlefields of human destiny. e REDUCED FARES To Charlottesville, Va.. and return.

STRIKE ULTIMATUM ISSUED BY ENGLAND Will Compel Arbitration by Law Unless Grievances Are Settled. By the Asociated Press. LONDON, May 28—The prime min- ister, Mr. Llovd George, again met the executive committee of the miners' union in his official residence in Downing street this morning, in an effort to find a solution of the coal strike. which has been in progress two months. The conferenc < not productive of any immediate progr: toward a settlement, but the mine 5 representatives arranged to meet in their headquerters to discuss Mr. Lloyd George's statement morning’s meeting. In this statement, the prime minis- ter is reported to have told the miners’ delegates that ,unless an agree- ment could be reached by the miners and the mine owners, legislation would be introduced to compel both sides to resort to arbitration. Meets Mine Owners. Later Mr. Lloyd George met mine owners. Proposals were handed to both parties for a temporary arrangement leading to a permanent scheme. The temporary proposals pro- vide for a gradual scaling down of wages until they reach an economic level which the industry is capable of sustaining, based on the grant of £10,000.000 from the exchequer and surrendered by the owners of the stand- | ard profits for three months in the districts in which government assist- ane is required. ~The government grant, however, will not be given until arrangements = for continuing the agreement have been arrived at be- tween the contending parties. With regard to a permanent scheme, it is pointed out that if the parties are unable to agree on terms for a continuous period, the matter must be decided by one of three methods. Three Plans. 1. A national wage board, to be composed of an equal number of owners and miners, shall be estab- lished under a neutral chairman. 2. A tribunal of three persons shall be established to decide the matters at issue. 3. The questions in dispute shall be referred to a single arbitration deci- sion of a body or person selected, and shall be binding on both parties for a year thereafter, subject to three months’ notice by either side. The owners decided to refer the government's proposals to the various districts for decision Wednesday. The miners’ executive, while objecting to the proposals on the ground that they neither insure the pool demand- ed nor a satisfactory alternative, also decided to submit them to the dis- tricts without recommendation and adjourned until Friday next. —_— FEW ALIENS IN ARKANSAS.
