In order to make our promises good and not fail on our word. our Government is trying hard to make sure that some time this year these "free and unfettered elections" will be held in Poland. Our Government even went so far that. by granting to Poland a loan. it exacted from the Warsaw rulers a renewed pledge concerning those elections. A man whose name I do not want to mention here out of my high esteem for this House. a man who perjured himself when he was taking his oath as a naturalized citizen of the United States and who now poses as the "Ambassador of Poland" in this country. recently sent a note to our Secretary of State assuring him that "general elections will take place this year" in Poland. In the same note. however. the same perjurer submitted to our Secretary of State a statement which at this time I shall callalso out of my esteem for this Houseonly a "misrepresentation of facts." Contrary to all evidence. this man assured our Secretary of State that "a referendum will be held in Poland soon In order to determine whether the Polish people want its future parliament to be composed of one or two houses." The man who lied to the American court when he swore that he "renounces and abjures all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince. potentate. state. or sovereignty" and who declared under oath of naturalization that he will "bear true faith and allegiance to the United States of Ameriea"-this same man lied once more. this time to our Secretary of State. Mr. Speaker. the referendum which the masters of Poland are planning now has a much broader scope than just the determination of whether Polands future parliament should be composed of one or two houses.
