One Erected by Congress.
The monument to Pulaski was erected
by an act of Congress, but the statue
of Kosciuszko is gift to the nation
from the Polish National Alliance and
other organizatiO of Poles who have

for which their distinguished cOuntrymen
fought. There was a double significance

tional congress- TO attend which thou
sands of Poles from all over the United
States have come.
