Polish Vandalism
Bahr, Max | April 3, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The Versailles treaty, which separated East Prussia from Germany by ceding to Poland the corridor and by establishing the free state of Danzig, fixed as the boundary between Poland and East Prussia "the main shipping line of the Vistula," which means the middle of the river. The Vistula is by far the largest river in the eastern part of Germany, in length, breadth, and quantity of water fully equaling the Rhine. The floating ice in spring frequently makes the river impassable for a week or more. Poland's policy is short-sighted and a menace to the peace of Europe. Most of the European nations have realized that they cannot thrive except by peaceful understanding and mutual exchange of products.
