The Poles hate both the Germans and the Czechs and as political opponents, as well as from considerations of natural hostility, would leave no stone unturned to weaken their foes. At any rate it is to be expected that Poland would make any concessions in this regard dependent upon the yielding of some political advantage to her, and it will, by no means, be difficult to give color to the proceeding in view of the fact that surplus supplies, under Polish control will be small and it would be pos...sible to use them to satisfy Russia's requirements as easily as to supply the needs of Germany and Bohemia.
