Nobody need try to prove an
alibi to the effect he was mis-
understood or that he was mis-
quoted by Polish envoys," said one
official speaking of the documents
to come.

themselves as to precisely what
statesmen would be named in the

Yesterdays white book. made up
Of documents said to have been
taken as spoils of conquest from the
vaults of the Warsaw foreign ONCE,
purported to quote Mr.. Bullitt and
the United States Ambassador to
London, Joseph P. Kennedy, at
length, the quotes being attributed
to diplomatic reports of Polish
diplomats in Washington, Paris and
London, made in late 1898 and the
first half of 1889.
They ascribed to Mr.. Bullitt the
conviction that America would
finish the war on the side Of the

any further British attempts at ap-

heavy paper watermarked with the
monogram, "MFP," under which
were the words in French, "papier

attributed to the Polish missions in
London and Paris were on paper of
American or British make.
All the documents bore various

Less Attention Paid to Molotoff.
Less attention was paid in general
