Poland's Treasures

The President described Pomorze and Poland's Baltic Sea coast as inestimable treasures for the Polish nation, since they were indispensable to the Polish national life. The louder the enemy voices made themselves heard, the President declared, the greater would the sacrifices be that Poland was resolved to make to defend those territories.

President Moscicki went on to say that Poland had returned as an independent state to the Baltic Sea on shores of which she had always lived, The new Polish state had brought to the shores of the Baltic blessings of labour and peace, ior the present Polish generation had not wasted its time and had already repaired a greater part of neglect from which those shores had suffered. This work would be continued not only in the interest of Poland but of all countries with which Poland entertained economic and cultural relations.
