Excerpt from Poland and the Minority Races In May 1919 meetings were held in many of the larger cities of the United States at which resolutions were adopted protesting against the reported wholesale killing of Jews in Poland. The Polish Government thereupon issued a statement denying that any excesses had taken place. In June, after further agitation in America, M. Paderewski, President of the Council of Ministers of Poland, asked President Wilson to appoint an American Commission to ascertain the facts. In accordance with this request a Mission consisting of Mr. Henry Morgenthau, late American Ambassador to Turkey, and Brigadier-General Edgar Jadwin, U.S.A., was sent to Poland on July 10, 1919. Mr. Homer H. Johnson, the third member of the Mission, joined them three weeks later in Warsaw. At the suggestion of Mr. Morgenthau I was appointed counsel to the Mission, being temporarily transferred from the Army for this purpose. During the nine weeks which we spent in Poland I kept daily personal notes in addition to the official testimony taken down by our stenographers. This diary has now been edited and put into a readable form, chiefly by the elimination of immaterial details.
