  • 1900 December 26th, Viator (pseudonym?), “The Polish Danger” (Letter to the Editor) in The Times, № 36,342 (Thursday 3rd January 1901), page 5/6:
    A nation, although in subjection, when moved by a strong common feeling, may do a great deal. It is not only that the Poles, defied by their Government, formed their own colonizing societies, which have achieved a moderate amount of success — moderate from an economical point of view, more than moderate from a political. All this present awakening of Polish patriotism, to which your correspondent refers, and the practical conversion of those Silesian half-Poles — of a different family — known as “Wasserpolacken” into people fully identifying themselves with the Polish cause, are the direct results of that policy of forcible Germanization, since carried to intolerable lengths by the prohibition of the Polish language and arbitrary prosecutions.
