The Polish Minister (Lubomirski) to the Secretary of State
The Minister of Poland presents his compliments to the Secretary of State and, referring to his note of July 26th, begs to state that of the three hundred Polish children in Siberia, about whom he had the honor to write in detail in the above-mentioned note, about thirty, under the care of the American Red Cross, are now on their way to America on the Steamship Yomei Maru, together with Russian children. The National Polish Committee has obligated itself to take these children under their protection until they will be able to return to Poland.
It would be very much appreciated if the Secretary of State would inform the American Red Cross that the government of the United States, taking into consideration the tragic lot of these children, consents to their temporary stay in the United States of America.
