With the fall of Warsaw ancient and historic "Holy Poland" was again without a capital (see p. 32). However, through five centuries, half-a-dozen major wars and three partitions until Hitler & Stalin made the fourth, Poland has endured often as a burning ideal in the hearts of the Polish people rather than as a political fact. It was therefore no surprise last week when a brand new Polish Government popped up in Paris.

Their owners would make as ill-fitting an interchange as the triggers of a crossbow and a Mauser. Wang Chung-hui is a patriot, Wang Ching-wei a traitor. Patriot Wang is naive, legalistic, bureaucratic, in office (Foreign Minister). Traitor Wang is sophisticated, old-style, political, out of office (onetime Premier, waiting to become Japan's super-puppet...
