The Polish question has a special and a double, significance for the U.S. In the first place, the freedom of Poland has become, since its official espousal by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, one of the specific issues for which the fight is still on. It is, next to Belgium, the most poignant provocation to the insistence on self-determination for all nations. In the second place, the Polish question is made distinctively American in its import by the presence of four million Poles in the U.S., a population as large as that of either Austrian or German Poland.
