In an in-terview in-terview In the Vosslche Zeitung of Berlin concerning the selection of a leader for the new kingdom of Poland, Professor Kucharzevski, tho Polish premier, says: "There is a strong leaning among certain classes for what might be called an Austro-Polish solution of the question, especially as tho Poles are almost unanimous in the opinion that no member of the Polish nobility should be chosen as king. Emperor Charles commands strong personal sympathies in Poland and there are many advocates of the plan of having the emperor named king of the country. coun-try. On the other hand there are many thoughtful Poles who would prefer an independent Polish kingdom with an Austrian archduke on the throne. "Wo cannot postpone the appointment appoint-ment of a king until a suitable basis of suffrage has been adopted. In the Interests of the country, particularly with a view to the establishment of a Polish army we must undertake the choice of a king before that time and afterwards submit to the approval of the Polish parliament to be created." oo |
