History of the Polish Daily News

1904 - 1914The Polish Daily News gained confidence of the Polish immigrants,as well as of the old Polish residents; it became their voice and re-presentative; it took the role of the interpreter of American ways,culture and ideals to the new arrivals, and inspired them to loyaltyand attachment to their adopted Country.

1914 - 1918Always continuing the work among the Polish people, the paper nowhad a new duty: that of presenting to the old immigrants and thenew Americans, the rebirth of their homeland, and with the aid ofAmerica and Americans, help Poland in her resurrection and reha-bilitation.

1918 - 1939The Polish Daily News now considered its goal the instilling into itsreaders the ideals of justice and honor and loyalty — all Americanprinciples, and all readily understood and appreciated gratefully bythe new arrivals and new citizens. Furthermore, the paper consideredit its most sacred duty to impress upon the younger generation theneed for advanced education, and upon their parents, as well as theirchildren, the glories of the new opportunities, which need not replacethe ancient culture and beautiful traditions of their homeland, andexplained to them how these might be fused for the glory of thefuture.

1939 - 1944When Poland first of all. and then the World, became a victim ofmad aggressors, when totalitarian tyranny threatened the Earth, thePolish Daily News devoted all its energies to the defense of Freedomand Democracy. At the beginning of the war. the paper implored forassistance to Poland, at the same time fervently urging America toarm and warning her of the impending danger.It cooperates unceasingly and with tireless enthusiasm in every reliefproject, it donates and solicits funds for the victims of war.The paper has come to the realization that it is not only the voiceof the people, but its pulse and its hearts, beating under guiding andprotecting leadership.It has also come to realize, from facts and figures collected, that theAmericans of Polish descent have supplied the largest percentage ofany in volunteers to the United States Army; that the Americansof Polish descent constitute the largest group of workers in the warindustries; and that they rank the first among the nationality groupsin the purchase of War Bonds, which they proudly keep in their pos-session.The Poles in America already gave over 600,000 to the Armed Forces;they willingly give their efforts, blood and their lives to these honoredand beloved United States, their adopted Country, and they are evertrue to the principles dear to the heart and honor of every trueAmerican, which the Polish Daily News has ever inspired and re-echoed through its pages.
