Poland Asks U. S. Support
a Il

Washington, May 17.-Poland has
appealed informally to the United
States for support in the forthcoming
consideration of the Silesian plebescite
by the supreme council, it became
known today. The request, which is
understood to have been transmitted
by Prince Lubomirski, Polish minister
here, was repetition of one first
made to the state department under
the last administration. Although no
official statement of the attitude of
the American government toward the
request has been made public the state
department has let it be known that
the United States intends to take no
part in the settlement of the Silesian
question through the supreme council
because it considers the question es-
sentially European in scope.
