DR. HUBERT TO MIR. LeWTTT.
Physician Insists He Has Right to
 Speak For Poland.

EhtStCi<I EESEStS He Has H1gnL bO Speak For Poland. Editor New Britain Herald: The second letter of MT. Levitt is very strange, very un-American. I am glad that he admits that he does not know anything about the "astoundjng facts concerning condi- tions in Poland" It means he has no right to discuss them
 That "the like of my facts have never reached Americas shore' is a ridiculous statement--becauSe every intelligent person who comes from Poland knows the difficulties of the Jewish problem in Poland. "The doc tor magnifies a mole hill by con- tending that Polish Jews. should abandon Yiddish in order to become Polish citizens. This smacks of Kai- iserism" says A[r. Levitt. I repeat that we Poles shall insist that Polish must be the only language of every loyal Polish citizen in home and school in Poland It is not Kaiser ism, it is Americanism! The loyal American must consider English as the only language of the American school and American home. I do not believe in fifty-fifty loyalty neither for Poland nor for America!
 dlll not dn Anor1Cdn c1llZGl. nave never pretended to be an American citizen, have never written letters on good or bad citizenship, have never perpetrated a '"bunko game on Her aid readers'. Who says it does mis- represent facts and is vulgar and un- worthy of a reply from my gentle pen.
 My writings in metropolitan news
 
 Iems have the approval of eminent men and I do not care for the criti- cisms of the ignorant. That only an American citizen should write or ex- press opinions" as MT. Levitt says, is the purest nonsense! You say ''the doctor does not understand Ameri- cans" Do not worry! I honor deep ly and love the real true Americans with undivided loyalty to one flag and one language of whatever descent or creed they may be.
 I am not jealous of those of Polish descent who have com pljmented you, MT. Levitt, for your part in this con- troversy as you admit to know noth- ing about conditions in Poland and because everywhere yo6 may find some ''measly, shrivelled souls, but I know that every true Pole stands by me when I defend POland's cause against a dangerous anti-Polish pro- paganda and a famous senator writes me on November 20, 1918 that 'at- tempts were made underground to thwart the movement for an inde- pendent Poland!'
 As a statement of facts l mention that vin August, 1918, the Poles in New Britain elected me at mass meeting a delegate to the Polish convention at Detroit; the Polish business men have sent me as their representative to the Polish conven- ton. I am the president of all Polish delegates of Connecticut which honor was conferred on me at that POnSh convention. MT. I. J. PadereWski in his letter of October 1, 1918, approves heartily of my past writings Tn Po~ lands cause, considers them import ant for the cause of the Alhes and especially POland'S and wishes me merited success in my good work. Born of Polish parents, educated in Poland graduated with honors from the Polish University of LWoW, l have always been in intimate contact with Polish statesmen when at nome. The last time I visited Poland was 1n 1914. Legally I am today proud citizen Of the free tL0pupllC OI OIclIO' Thanks tO glorious America I see the realization of the dreams, hopes and efforts of my ancestors and myself and feel an immense joy and pride. No decent American would call 1t ''transgression' as you do. For America I have great passion fanatic love, a deep gratitude ana these sentiments have been recog- nized by the government in Washing ton in a letter.
 Those who deny my right to defend my own country, Poland, are not worthy to be American citizens, be- cause a real American always de- fends his country.
 Your last letter has nothing in common with the problem discussed in my letter of November 19, 1918. Your letter MT. Levitt, is so person. al so vulgar, so unfit for public dis cussion that I was reluctant to lower my dignity and answer it.
 Very respectfully,
 DR JULIUS HUBERT.
 P S-Mr Editor, it is pleasant to discuss problems with gentlemen but I shall refuse to answer personal at- lacks by those who throw mud when they have neither arguments nor knowledge of the subject discussed.
