The plot against Poland
THE FIRST thing that strikes the observer about the Austro-Hungarian ‘gift’ of a pretended autonomy to Poland is its tardiness.
It is only after more than two years of war that circumstances, which on the face of it suggest inquiry into the motives of the ‘givers’ have induced the German and Austrian Governments to reconstitute, in name at any rate, a ‘Kingdom of Poland’, incidentally finding means in so doing to compose between themselves a conflict of aims which has hitherto been irreconcilable.
