The New Europe/Volume 6/Number 74/"Those who live in glass houses ...."
“Those who live in glass houses. . . .”
The recently founded London organ of the Polish National Democrats, Tygodnik Polski, in its issue of 11 March, has contrived to combine its attacks upon rival Polish groups with a peculiarly gross insinuation against The New Europe and our collaborator “N,” who, we are informed, is a kindred spirit of Bronstein (i.e., Trotski), Rosenfeld, Apfelbaum and Sobelson of the Russian Revolution. ‘N’ is expressing the same ideas as Vigo in Le Bonnet Rouge and Laudau in La Tranchée Républicaine.” The best answer to this stupid charge is “N.’s” exposure of German Eastern policy in our present number. As for The New Europe itself, we are really not afraid of our readers suspecting us of Germanophil tendencies. Nor are we disposed to accept correction at the hands of the individuals whose chief military supporters in Russia, after loud professions of loyalty to the Allied cause and violent denunciation of all who dared to disagree with them, have, not many weeks ago, joined hands with the advancing German armies. We would merely remind Messrs. Dmowski, Kozicki, Sobanski, and their friends of the “Polish National Committee,” that if they wish to impress public opinion in this country they will do well to avoid methods of political controversy and political tactics which savour all too strongly of Warsaw at the height of the Tsarist régime.
