THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. FIDAC PEAGE MEDAL PRESENTEDTOG. U Gen. Roman Gorecki Makes Plea For World Unity at Ceremony. Presentation of the Fidac educational medal to Georgetown University last night by Gen. Roman Goreckl of Poland, president of the Inter-allied Federation of World War Veterans, with which the American Legion is affiliated, was a high light in the annals of that institution’s record in furthering the | cause of international understanding through education. | ‘The formal ceremony in Gaston Hall was attended by diplomatic representa- | tives of eight foreign countries asso- clated with the Fidac and the occasion was used by Gen. Gorecki, a distin- gulshed veteran of the war, to make | a plea for “prudence and patience in | the conduct of international affairs.” Dr. Coleman Nevils, S. J., president of Georgetown, who accepted the medal on behalf of the university, also touched | upon the need of a better understand- ing between nations. “The purpose of the Fidac,” Gen. Qorecki said in his address, “is to dedi- cate comradeship developed during the Georgetown Honqred' Gen.

The care which your insti- tution has always devoted to the study of international relations and the very kigh standing of your Foreign Service School has prompted the Executive Committee of the Fidac to accept heartily the suggestion of the Ameri- | can Legion that Oeorgetuwn University | be thus honored this vear.” Carlton College of Minnesota and the University of Florida were nkewtse recipients of the Fidac medal this year. In referring to Polish-American re- lations, Gen. Gorecki said: “The United States and Poland are sister republics, bound by an old friendship which is of | historical record. America has never | forgotten that one of Poland's noblest sons, Gen. Casimir Pulaski, first com- mander of United States Calvary, sacri- ficed his life for American Jiberty and human rights.” Nor can Poland for- get, he added, the service rendered to her by Woodrow Wilson in taking up her cause after the World War and guaranteeing to Poland “a frée and se- | cure access to the sea. “We see, therefore, that Polish- | American relations are based not only on a community of interests, but on a community of sentiment and tradi- tions,” he said. In accepting the medal from the Pidac president, Dr. Nevils referred to the fact that the School of Foreign Service, through its student missions | sent abroad each year, was closely as- | sociated with all the nations represented in the veterans’' federation. Further- | more, he pointed out, the institution was | founded on the principle that inter- | naticnal peace can best be promoted through education. “If we want to love one another we must know one another.” he said. De- claring that the United States has its heart in work for humanity . Nevils stressed that since the war we have learned that we must not be satis- | ideals, Hdlc “By Parcel Post Anywhere” Between E and F Sts.
