The Polish Minister (Lubomirshi) to the Secretary of State
Sir: In the absence of the Minister, and by request of the Government of Poland, I have the honor to convey to you, Mr. Secretary, its thanks for the timely despatch to Gdansk33 of the United States Cruiser Pittsburgh.
The presence of the Cruiser Pittsburgh under command of Rear Admiral Huse in the harbor of Gdansk, was very instrumental in pacifying the local population, which was constantly incited against the enforcement of the Treaty of Versailles.
The appearance of the American Flag above the waters of Gdansk at a moment of great difficulty for Poland has rendered invaluable service to the country.
