Frederick Voigt to W. P. Crozier.
Location: Berlin.
The 'pacification' in the Ukraine, and a Ukrainian petition regarding another punitive expedition. He heard about atrocities whilst in Lwòw in November. Yesterday, he received a statement about them, secretly from Warsaw, from Schiller, a distinguished stage producer, Stande, a poet, Hempel, a Communist member of the Sejm, and various teachers and professors whom he does not know. He encloses a summary. He considers the atrocities to be worse than those of Brest Litovsk. He thinks it advisable not to mention Berlin, as the Poles and others are trying to say that the M.G.'s writings about Poland are German inspired; he elaborates. He encloses the statement he received from Warsaw, which is called an 'open letter', but he cannot see that the signatories want their names publishing. He refers to the meeting of the Committee of Three meeting in London under Henderson's chairmanship in March. He wonders if they would like an article explaining the Ukrainian problem, as the work of the Committee is almost incomprehensible to most readers. The article will include references to the beatings, and also to the Ukrainian excesses committed previously.
