POLAND MUST BE SAVED.

CONFLICTING VIEWS OF BRITISH PRESS. (Received July 23, 9.25 a.m.) LONDON. »Juiy 22. Regarding the Polish situation, Mr Lloyd Geoi-ge's comments thereon are the outstanding topic of the day. The:D»ily Telegraph says: The Poles must be saved. Marshal Focli lias consiftenly declined ta^ # encourage 'a Polish offensive on the ground that Napoleon's example was a warning to any lesser, genius not- to emulUe the invasion of Russia, but he will go to Poland if the Bolshevik invasion continues m order, to organise the Polish rear defences, which aiv neglected like thosp of Italy m 1917. This "will show the Bolshevists thit- tho Western Powers cannot be flouted with impunity. The Chronicle says: If, the Sov'f-t's reply be for war, we and our Allies will have no option but t» take up the challenge. *■ The Daily Express remarks that war with Russia would tax to the limit the '■eso'&rces -which the Allies mobilised m 1914 and 1918. Tim Daily News strongly objects to the League of Nations intervening m Poland now. There is nothing W discredit the League more than declining to lift a. finger to restrain, one of its members from a piece of lawless bucaneering and then intervening at t.he moment the folly of that' member began to recoil on its own head. The Allies must clear up the matter. —A. md N.Z.QA.
