inee, calling on him to employ your
powerful position TO acquaint the coun-
try with the intensely grave possibil-
tiles to America of the continuation of
the administration Polish Russian
policy" He was prompted to make the
request, he said, by statement recent
ly printed in New York newspaper
quoting the senator as saving 1T is no
business of ours what form of govern
ment the Russian people choose
The telegram in part follows:
You are undoubtedly aware that the
administration has concealed from the
people the facts of the immense finan-
cial loans to Poland and knowledge of
its delivery of huge war stores to the
Polish armies, If you are not | can in
form you that the war department has
provided the armies carrying on an of
ensive warfare against Russia with
1900 freight cars. 100000 pounds of
corned beef, $4,000. 900 pounds Of oleo
margarine and S53,O0OOO0 worth OF
miscellaneous military equipment.
The navy department has likewise de-
livered to Poland largs quantities of ma
terials for use in the Polish attack on
Russia. Insolvent refusals by Secretary
Daniels to divulge awards or facts
have greeted requests for information as
to their transactions.
THE Polish legation at Washington
has audaciously demanded statement
of American material support Of the
Polish situation and the extension of
further credits is imminent, according to
the dispatches. In the event Of q gen
eral European imperialist behind Poland
and against the Russian government, this
republic, involved as it already is, and
more deeply involved as the admins
tration obviously lands to be. III the
fate of the Polish imperialist adventure,
must needs face the question of trans
porting an American army to be
slaughtered in merciless and insane
eastern European conflict. " If you
mean what you said about the right of
the Russian people to choose their own
government. to compel the administra-
tion to reveal the full extent of its
financial relations with the government
Of Poland and to reply to that govern
ment's demand for an expression of
American moral support with state
ment inviting the Poles and all other
belligerents asking our sympathy to re-. /
turn to their proper boundaries and
calling upon them to restore at once
the peace of Europe"
