AMERICAN POLES
FIVE MILLION IN U.S.A. The news that 5.000,000 "Polish citizens" in the United States are prepared to help in re-forming the Polish army and air force in Europe is not surprising in view of the large proportion of foreign-born residents in North America. In 1930 the U.S.A, had a total of more than 14,000.000 foreign-born people—l.4o2,l'oo hailing from the British Isles, 744,310 from Eire, 1.122,000 from Scandinavia. 1,603,000 from Germany. 1,268,000 from Poland. 491.000 from Czechoslovakia, 1.154,000 from Russia, 1,790,000 from Italy. The difference between the Polish fifigure in the foregoing table and the 5,000.000 quoted in the cable message is probably to be accounted for partly by the fact that there has been a substantial exodus of Poles to the United States in recent years, but mainly because the larger total embraces all people el' Polish descent in the first generation—in other words. Polish-born U.S. citizens and their sons, and daughters.
