your majesty: In view Of the over
whelming disaster which has befallen
the nom n-combatants OF Poland, feel
justified by the universal and earnest
expressions Of the sympathies OF Amer
lean people, without regard to racial
origin, to suggest to your majesty that
the subjects OF ways and means for tho
saving OF those people who still survive
be given the further benevolent consid-
GRAFTON Of your majesty's government.
while no one can fail to appreciate
the suffering Of the people primarily
engaged In the war and the difficulties
In the way Of alleviating the hardships
of those who are the innocent suf-
ferers Of the war, the death by slow or
rapid starvation Of millions OF innocent
people Is so awful a fact that such an
outcome should be averted II It 10 with
in the compass of human effort to avert
1t. In an effort to avert II confidently
pledge the support OF the people OF the

found to make their cooperation sef-
fective.

May therefore suggest that an en- I.
tirely fresh consideration be given to
efforts for relief Of Poland and to
tender the friendly offices of this gov
ernment in the neg citations to this end,
it being understood that any plan pro-
posed shall be Of such character ~
to be adapted to the accomplishment Of

land.
I'm conclusion, can only add that ie
Is my sincere hope that your majesty
will see in this note no intention to In
terfere with the rights and policies Of
your matesty's government but merely
an attempt to express to your majesty
the sympathy and compassion for the
starving inhabitants OF Poland felt by
the citizens OF the United States--a
sympathy and compassion which they
do not desire shall be evidenced by
| merely our word, but sympathy which
they hope they may be permitted to ex-
press by assisting in the actual work OF
furnishing food to the starving inhab-
itants in Poland
Il have the honor to be, your ma
jesty.
