States cannot remain Indifferent to
the horrible lot Of her children.
Poland looms up above the ashes
and ruin of her fertile fields and pros
pering towns and bids us remember
the example of that most eminent
champion Of the ppressed-Thomas
Campbell.
Thomas Campbell freely expressed
his sympathy for the suherings and
wrongs of Poland. Nor did he show
his sympathy by words alone. but by
resolute and continued action He
founded the association in London Of
the Friends of Poland. which not only
maintained the strong interest felt by
the British people for the Polish un-
ion, but was the means Of providing
assistance and giving employment TO
large numbers of the unfortunate eN-
lies driven from the confines of Po-
land
Poland asks the citizens of this
great republic TO emulate the notable
example of Campbell. Convinced Of
the sacredness of her cause she ex-
poets from America not only words of
sympathy, but above all, resOluteness
of action. She appeals 10 the people
of America in the belief that they
shall not be chary of rendering aid
and assistance.
