Hostile Reports

Are the governments of the Allied
powers really inclined to place more
faith in the reports of Jews, Germans
and other hostile nations, prejudiced
as they arc, than in the reports OF their
own delegates. American, French, Eng
Ii h and Italians?
We cypress the conviction that the
good faith and good VIII of the Allied
diplomats have been GENEROUSLY I'M
posed upon By false Information origi-
ea ing with cur worst enemies, the Cec
mans. who consp.rcd fuciously against
US by means of their own agents as
well as Of Jewish, Ukrainian and Boil
shevik agents and others. Mr. Err.
berger has publicly affirmed that Ger
many fears nothing more than great
and powerful Poland. Anything that
is prejudicial to us is a triumph fo.
Germany and increases her power to
be used in a world war to come.
And this is why, while expressing
to the Allied nations our deepest and
eternal gratitude for the help they
gave US in reconstructing the Polish
state, we are bound to affirm in this
solemn moment before the world ana
before history that as long as full
justice IS not granted to US and as
long as full amends are not done for
our wrongs the basis of European peace
will not be such as it should be 1t
will be neither secure nor durable.

The blood of thousands OF Poles

!. Contrary to the project which was
unanimously accepted by the Cambon
commission, composed of representa-
tivcs of all the Allied powers, the
city and the district of Danzig, indis-

"HE entire Polish nation has
shared during the whole dura-
tion Of the war the aspirations
Of the European and American
democracies. Polish volunteer have
fought in large numbers on the side
Of the Allies in France They fought
also, though anonymously, while no one
knew that they were Poles, in Russia,
in the Czccho-Slovak legions.
The legions of General Pilsudsk
who fought against Russian Czarism,
the enemy Of the Polish nation as
we'll as of any democracy, turned
against Germany and Austria after
the fall of the autocratc regime in
Russia. 1t is not less essential to re-
mind the world that Poland did not
yield to German pressure and that she
steadfastly refused to form national
army under the Rgis and on the pay
roll of the Germans. We did not
create such an army solely because
we did not want to fight against the
Allies. At the present hour, while the
world war is being liquidated and the
Allies are proceeding to the delimita-
ton Of national frontiers, we resent
all the more the wrongs that have been
committed against us:
