Germman industrialists, Po- lish propagandists and the men and Wo- men who work in the great mifies of Up- per Silesia express virtually a unani- mous hope that thé council of ambassa- dors meeting in Paris tomorrow will fix the earMicst possible date for the plebis- cite, which, they bélleve, regardiess of the result, will be the first step toward the stabilization of the unsettled condi- tions which are @rrorizing afid pauperiz- 31-,— a large percéntage of the populk- on.

Herr Koreanty, Polish leader in_ the plebiscite zone, has declared that Potand is so confident of winning the elections that he has completed arrangements for the assumption of control of every ad- ministrative post the moment the dects- ion of the electorates is announced. The campalgn, whith ha§ been going on m(‘hlemie. has lost its économic es- pects, .in splite cf the great wealth of Up- per Silesia, and has, become a guastion of nationality, according to Hérr Korean- ty, Who, in an interview with thé cor- respondent, eaid: “Upper Silesia has never really been part of Qermany, 4nd the Germmans de- veloped it for 500 yeafs only as a col- ony.
