POLAND'S DEFEAT
DUE TO MISTAKES
OFFICIAL ADMISSION
PRESERVING NATION'S REMNANTS
(By Telegraph—Proas Association—Copyrlgtt* (Received February 8, 11.10 a.m.) PARIS, February 7.
M. Stronski, a Minister of the Polish Government in France, declared that only immediate action would prevent barbarism wiping out the remnants of the Polish nation.
"Millions of families which have been domiciled in their native land for a thousand years," he said, "have been brutally transplanted at half an hour's notice. Poland's lightning defeat is admittedly due to the Government's mistakes. These were numerous, but Poland has been free for only 20 years after 150 years of slavery, and have not great nations which have been free since the beginning of existence made mistakes regarding Germany in the past twenty years?"
