Kongresmen Robert S. Hale o Polskim Wydziale Prawa w Oksfordzie

Abstract

On the 3. Mai 1944 the US House of Representatives at a special session paid tribute to the founders of the Polish constitution from the year 1791. Many eminent members of the Polish diaspora in America spoke about glorious Polish past and pointed at endless acts of violence perpetrated by Germans on the
occupied Polish territories. Stenograms documenting that meeting show that one voice was clearly different from the rest. Congressman Robert S. Hale praised in his speech the recent establishment of the Polish Faculty of Law in Oxford. As a graduate of the Oxford University, he expressed enthusiasm about the common iniciative of both scholars and politicians. Hale’s adress to the House of Reprsentatives is an important trace illustrating not only the international importance of establishing the Polish Faculty of Law in England but also the attitude of some influential American politicians to the Polish issue.
