CHICAGO % ILL.,

HON. WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,
McCLOUD, CAL.
DEAR Mr.. HEARST:
1T is pleasure for me to inform you that
Il at the meeting of the executive board of
the Polish American Congress, held on Feb.
9, in Chicago, a motion was adopted by
unanimous vote expressing heartfelt thanks
and gratitude to you for the publication in
the Sunday Hearst papers of Jan. 21 of the
appeal of Americans of Polish ancestry for
full freedom for Poland.
The Polish-American Congress is also
deeply appreciative of your highly COM
mendabe editorial policy of focusing the
spotlight of truth upon dsgracefu inter-
national maneuvers aimed at the extinction of
the democracies of Europe under the guse of
Liberation"
Our inability to anticipate the war with
Germany was due primarily to our reliance
for guidance upon foreign-sponsored propa-
ganda rather than upon correct information
based upon the conclusive evidence Of careful
observers.
WE FAILED to see what was going on in
w Germany and dozed off quietly to sleep,
for hadn't Hitler repeatedly assured u.s. just
as Stain is doing today, that his intentions
were strictly honorable and that he was
merely interested in friendly governments?
Had correct diagnosis of the fatal
disease of nazism been made in time, this
bloody conflict could have been averted.
Instead, We followed the line of least
resistance by washing our hands of the issues
only to plunge into them later up to our arm
pits.
The debace of Pearl Harbor was another
study in cunning and treachery which caught
us entirely unprepared.
That China was in death struggle with
the Japanese didn't concern us too much. II
didn't seem to be a sufficient enough reason
for distrusting the Japanese who were
polite, so gentle and so refined in their eX
ternal behavior towards us
And so we shipped all the scrap iron
that Japan wanted never suspecting that it
might be converted into war weapons against
eHr own American boys.
A MERICA is now confronted with another
"A danger, which, if not checked in time,
will have even more tragic consequences for
all mankind. AMERICAN LEND-LEASE
is THE CLUB EMPLOYED BY RUSSIA
FOR CRUSHING THE DEMOCRACIt.S OF
EUROPE.
The appalling misjudgment OF Germany
and Japans motives should teach us by now
a lesson in vigilance.
The sacrifices of this war, with such A
heavy toll of American lives, will all come
to naught if enlightened American opinion is
not awakened in time to the danger of a
world dominated by a new international
master-Stain.
There are no benefits to be attained by
concealing certain self-evident truths. The
greed Of the Sovets who own more than one
sixth Of the world, for additional lands to
which they have no valid claim and the
imposition of predetermined puppet govern
ments even upon nations that have been our
devoted Allies, are ominous clues TO Russia's
postwar policies.
IN POLAND, the Red regime of the Moscow
Il directed Lublin government, whose "presi-
dent is a full-fedged citizen of the Soviet
Union, is CHARACTERIZED BY A REIGN
OF TERROR-by the shooting and hanging
Of members of the Polish underground who
had been fighting the Germans even at the
time when the most cordial of relations
existed between Stain and Hitler
Poland, the senior member of the United
Nations in length Of service to the common
cause, is being renailed to the cross of suffer
ing by an ally turned aggressor. But Poland
is not alone THE SAME BLOODY PAT
TERN is BEING CARRIED OUT IN
ALL THE COUNTRIES WHERE STAINS
PUPPET GOVERNMENTS RULE
