This constitution will be promulgated immediately after the three Powers
had settled the frontiers of the new State, including the town of Danzic
(free port) and a proportion of seaboard. The legislature will then be
called together and a general treaty will regulate Poland's international
portion as a protected state, the status of the High Commissioners and
such-like matters. The legislature will ratify, thus making Poland, as
it were, a party in the establishment of the protectorate. A point of
importance.
Other general treaties will define Poland's position in the Anglo-Franco-
Russian alliance, fix the numbers of the army, and settle the
participation of the Powers in its organisation and training.
POLAND REVISITED--1915
I.
I have never believed in political assassination as a means to an end,
and least of all in assassination of the dynastic order. I don't know
how far murder can ever approach the perfection of a fine art, but looked
upon with the cold eye of reason it seems but a crude expedient of
impatient hope or hurried despair. There are few men whose premature
death could influence human affairs more than on the surface.
