Upper Silesia.

The British Prime Minister delivered a speech in the House of Commons on May 13, 1921 concerning the Upper Silesian question. The speech has deeply grieved the Polish nation and has evoked a feeling of profound uneasiness as well as of indignation. The British Prime Minister denies the Polish character of Upper Silesia and considers that the Polish population, which has been living there for centuries, consists merely of immigrants and that the German population there is indigenous. Moreover, the Prime Minister imputes an inclination to violate the Treaty of Versailles and reminds Poland, in a manner which must be described as inconsistent with the usual forms of international intercourse.
