Seeking to Get the Whole Truth.
"On entering Poland we must be
sure that both sides of the controversy
understand the object of our mission.
We must convince the Poles that we
are coming with open minds and with
an American sense of justice. We
want all the facts and we will report
them exactly as they are.
But we do not want either the
Poles or the Jews to think we regard
the Jewish problem as the most inn
portant part of our mission. That Is
J merely the first subject of inquiry.
| Our mission cannot be successful uL-
less we can present the whole truth
10th to the Poles and to the Ameri-
| cans.
Friction cannot he ended by the
work of few men. but 1t confidently
may be hoped that an unprejudiced
commission can put Poland ION the
way toward solution.
Means must be found to bring

| Jews. / would not wish the Jews eth

to effect u. radical cure. 1t will be our
| purpose to enlist united interest in
! America in order that Poles and Jews
may join in making Poland a great
! power. That Is necessary for the peace
| of the world.
Poland Is Key to Peace.
I'VE know, and President Wilson

| that the struggle of the Polish state Is

ment feel that our interest in probing
the Jewish question is imperative for
the health of Poland, and we are not
concerned merely with obtaining JUS
tice for the Jewish people.
Jews, both in America and in
! Poland, must help us by appreciating
the difficulties we must meet and the

ditiOns. Hostilities of this nature are
not easily or quickly placated. We

Says Prospects Are Good.
! without such an understanding
there could be no hope of permanent

it there is a good prospect that We
can accomplish something"
AS the commission intends to pre-
sent its position clearly and broadly
on arrival in Warsaw, its work will
| be greatly facilitated from the start,
| as both sides to the controversy are
appreciative of the American atti-
| tude. The Poles need to know the
breadth of the undertaking outlined
to me by Mr.. Morgenthau, and the
Jews should be impressed that every
act of injustice toward them and
every tendency in that direction will
be carefully Investigated. for the
purpose of averting that tendency in
the future; and the Jew must also
know that the commission will not
permit their particular problem to
