v ;? Another Grunwald Is Corning By CHARLES EDISON GoYtmor oj the State oj New Jertey, U. S. A. Among the people who haye bm ORnaed by the German*, nona hu anfBarad Uka tha PoUah natlon. No people bM bad, Ilke tbsm, to resiat • eptd-blooded, deUberat* campaign Utapded to aztanoiaata tham. Tha atatemenu of Oarman laadara haye ma tfoubt tbat tbła la tbalr calculated, fcbgman aad horrlble plan. Por thraa yeara tha Pollah people haye suffered lncredlble agonie*; they harc fought back bravely. I ani hon oured to ba prasant today to pay trib uta to the people ot Poland and to Celebra te with you the S32nd annlyer aary ot the Battle ot Grunwald, an dant Poland'* greatest victory. That battle cruahed the Teutonlc hordę*, aad brought the longest reign of peace tn Poland'* hiatory. Another Grun wald la coming. Hiatory recorda the ■ayagery of the Hun* and the Van dala, of Genghla Khan and other con foarors. We thought thelr *avage traatment of conquered people* pro doead a barbarie blood-drencbed chap tar tn a dim and distant past No ona would have imagined for a mo ment that such slckening slaughter j of dvllians could be eąualled, let alone \surpaased, by any modem natlon. Wben In the laat World war the modern Hun* overran Belgium and parta of France, they madę no sya tematlc attempt to klll ott the non combatant cWllian populatlon. They were harah and cruel conąuerora; but U waa not untll the Nazl* came into power, not untll the German* took Poland, that they descended to the daptha of barbarism they have recent ly ahown. The head-hunters of New Ouinea aometlmes killed wbite cap ttrea. The wild tri be* of Africa often alaughtered whole tribea whlch they bad conąuered. We neyer Justifled their conduct, though we rather ex pected tt, for they were obrioualy ■arages. No whlte, clviUzed natlon, we thought, would engage in auch barbarie acta, even ln tlme of war. It waa a natura! ml*Uke for u* to in dudę the German* among the clrii taed people*, for they had all the out ward and yiaible *ign* of ctyUlzatfon. Aa far as anyone could tell, they were cłytliaed. They had a literatura; they bad er en madę noUble contrlbutlona to science. Thelr unprovoked tnva akm of Poland, howerer, prore* how tfałn waa their yeneer of civill*atloa; $ar on a diearmed aad powerleea peo r ple they harc turaed the technlque of modern war. Thelr technique of barbarism I* superior to that of any taaad-bunUr. Wlth a slckening bru tality they have slaughtered—accord tng to thelr own sUtement*—hun dreds of thousanda of people whoae only offence wu that they were not members of the eelf-styled master raca. The laat ve*tlges of slayery and mrfdom dlaappeared among civlllzed countrles, we thought, in the last cen tury.

Once morę the Germene hare demoostrated that our optlmiem mi too hasty. By their owu boeste they lndlcate that they ta tend to make twentieth-century serfs ot the helpleee people ot Poland. To aocomnlUh thia foul nurpnaa they have not only maeaacred hun dreds of thouaands ot Polea, but they have dellberately attempted to root out Polieh culture. They have killed Pollsh intellectual leadera. They have plllaged and then burned librariea. — They have moved to Nazl Germany thoae Industries they have not de stroyed. They plan to leave no so clety except one of obedlent agricul tural aerfa. What word can adeąuately deacrlbe the Wholesale brutality ot the Ger mana? In their behavłor, man’s ln humanlty to man haa reached a new Iow.

Desplte the German terror, the Pdles have fought back with a cour age and tenacity that deseryes our most profound admlratlon.

It la sald that Pollsh soldiers flght with an un equalled ferodty. Surely if ever men had cauae to flght, they have. Thoae of us gathered here are proud to have frlends of Poliah anceatry. The war between Germany (the aggresaor) and Poland (the rictlm) haa nerer ended. In her long history! Poland suffered several partltona and many unprovoked attacka from her neighbors, but never have the Polish people fought back with greater cour age than now. With only twenty years of natlonal 11 fe ln modem timea, the Poliah people have shown aa tatense and unquenchable a patrlotism aa that ever shown by any people at any time.

In the meantime we ln America have two dutlea. First, we must preserve the free institutions ot this country. We must keep our democracy worklng. We must aee to it that no racial or religious lntoler ance poiaons American Ute, aa lt has polaoned Germany. We must be broadmlnded about the politlcal and economic ideas that othera ot our fel low-cltizena have, whether we like the Ideas or not. The second duty la to cruah Hltlerism. To do that, those ot us who can must fight. Those ot us who are not called to the front ot battle must keep this democracy worklng; must produce the arms and munltions tor the armles; and must make whaterer sacriflces are necea aary to pay for them. Some day those who are responalble for the crime com mltted againat Poland must pay the penalty they to thoroughly deserre. That day will come aoon if all Amer icans work, save and fight wlth the same courage and tenaclty as the people ot Poland.
