POLES IN AMERICA
 PROTEST REPORTS
Charge That Organized Attempt Is Being Made to Oppose Polish
 Interests and Help Germans

New York, May Exchanges that organized attempts are being made to poison American public opinion in regard to Poland, under cover of defense of Polish Jews but in reality as a move to aid Germany, are made in cablegrams sent to President Wilson, General Pilsudski and Pre- mier Paderewski by the society of Polish engineers and merchants in America and made public here today. The society protests that until the re- port of the Inter-Allied commission now Investigating the alleged Jewish massa cres is published it is a gross injustice that such outrag geous charges against a whole nation should be made. In supplementary state ment the society says that anti-Polish demonstrations are being inspired at a moment when Germany is making her last effort to retain Polish dis tricts of upper Silesia, West and East Prussia and thereby open a road for the exploitation of prostrate Russia.
 The cablegrams are signed by Steven De Csesznak, president, and George Fudakowski. secretary. MT. De Csesznak is publisher of Export American Industries, the official organ of the national association of manufacturers.
