NEW YORK.—Emphatic excep
tion to statements attributed to
Wincenty Rzymowski, minister of
foreign affairs in the Warsaw gov
ernment, that because of domina
tion by the Catholic Church there
was no freedom of religion and no
free education in pre-war Poland,
is taken by the Rev. Gaither P.
Warfield, a Methodist minister, of
Frederick, Md., in a letter pub
lished ifi Tlie New York Times
here.
The Rev. Mr. Warfield stated he
had lived and worked in Poland
from 1924 until 1941. He recalled
that The Times published an in
terview with the Polish minister
on October 755, which stated: “In
1939, he recalled there was no
freedom of religion, for example,
because all other faiths were
'stamped out’ by the ‘ruling Cath
olic Church’.”
“I, a member of these ‘stamped
out’ rgligious minorities,” the
Methodist minister wrote, “hereby
register my emphatic protest. Po
land was only 75 per cent Roman
Catholic. Other Christian denom
inations and other faiths were not
only guaranteed by the Polish
Constitutions of 1921 and 1935
freedom of conscience and prac
tice, but actually enjoyed it. The
fact that I, an American Methodist
preacher, was able for so many
years to live and propagate my re
ligious beliefs in Poland sufficient
ly proves the falseness of Mr.
Rzymowski’s statement.”
The writer also said that Mr.
Ryzmowski implied in^he inter-
i view that there was no free educa
tion in pre-war Poland. Taking ex
ception to this, the Rev. Mr. War-
field asserted that he had taught
for a time in a Polish school and
that during her 20 years of inde
pendence. the nation had estab
lished 28,722 free elementary
schools; 722 public high schools,
and 717 trade schools, and that in
five State universities and two
colleges of engineering students
paid only nominal fees.
