TAE POLISH RACE IN AMERICA.
[To TRY EDITOR or TEM "SPECTATOR.")
Stn,—It has been brought to my notice that in your number of June 11th, 1910, on p. 981, you stated that the Polish children in America are the worst enemies of the survival of Polish race characteristics, and that "the immigrants find themselves the parents of American children." As President of the "Lithuano-Polish and International League of all the Friends of Poland," I ask your leave to contradict this state- ment. Since the partitions of 1830 and 1863 the Poles have never been more race-conscious than they are at the present time. At Boston, for instance, a " Union of the Polish Youth" has lately been founded. Further, on May 26th, 1910, the Gazeta Polska to Chicago, on the occasion of the inauguration of the monuments in honour of the Polish Generals Pulaski and Kosciuszko, printed extracts from various American newspapers clearly showing that the strength of the Polish race was widely recognised.—In the hope that these few words may contribute to refute the statement above mentioned, I am, Sir, &c ,
PAWEL PRINCE ZBAWCA-RIEDELBKI (Prezydent Ligi).
