the seals of the United States and the British governments. The American docu¬ ment is a “Message from the President of the United States, transmitting pursuant to a Senate Resolution of October 28, 1919, a communication from the Sec¬ retary of State submitting a report by the Honorable Henry Morgenthau on the work of The Mission of the United States to Poland.” It is Senate Document No. 177.
This document includes also a supplementary report signed by Brigadier-General Edgar Jadwin, United States Army.
There is a certain mystery about this document. Though an edition was printed for public circulation, it soon became extremely rare. It seemed to disappear almost overnight. The copy from which this present examination is made was secured with the utmost difficulty. The head of that American Mission, which remained in Poland from July 13 to September 13,1919, was Henry Morgenthau, an American Jew, who had been United States Minister to Turkey, a man of excellent public and private reputation.
