Ralph Butler

From The New Eastern Europe, Ralph Butler 1919

. . .  The Poles are a baffling race.  In all Europe there is no people, with the possible exception of the French, which is naturally so gifted.  No one can study Eastern Europe without feeling that they are infinitely the most attractive of the peoples with which he has to do. They are the only one in whose composition there is included that subtle differentia which marks off the � big ï¿½ nation from the � small.�  Their culture is not borrowed : it is original and creative, the true expression of their national genius and their historic tradition.  Yet in the political sphere their genius is strangely unfruitful. . . . Their conceptions are brilliant, but they have no technique, . . .

From POLAND, Robert Howard Lord 1920

. . . the Poles are again in possession of a larger part of their ancient heritage . . .

While it would doubtless be premature to hail in this state, restored only yesterday and still in process of construction, a new Great Power, it is not impossible that Poland may in time become one. . .

The greatest problem lies in the people themselves. Of them a writer by no means prejudiced in their favor has recently declared :

�In all Europe there is no people, with the possible exception of the French, which is naturally so gifted. No one can study Eastern Europe without feeling that they are infinitely the most attractive of the peoples with which he has to do. They are the only one in whose composition there is included that subtle differentia which marks off the � big ï¿½ nation from the � small.� ¹

. . .  the brilliant and original genius of the Polish people ; their ardent and unsurpassed spirit of patriotism ; the lessons which they may be presumed to have learned from their misfortunes; the reassuring evidence supplied by their conduct during these last two critical years — all this affords ground for hope, not only that Poland has permanently recovered her independence, but that she is capable of becoming again what she was for so many centuries in the past : a bulwark of liberty, republicanism, an Western civilization in the troubled East of Europe.

From POLAND : Key To Europe, Raymond Leslie Buell 1939

. . .  Poland undoubtedly has the capacity of becoming a great power. As one writer has said: "In all Europe there is no other people, with the possible exception of the French, which is naturally so gifted."^l29
