The text of Secretary Hughes' note follows: "I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of May 11, iB which you recite the reasons why in your opinion, certain districts of UppeT Silesia should be assigned to Poland and urge that the representa tives of the government of the Uni ted States on the Bupreme council, the council of ambassadors and the reparations commission, be instruct ed to exert their influence in favor of a settlement of the matter strict ly in accord with the treaty of Ver sanies ana uie result 01 me rerc<rt plebescite. n t "In reply I have the honor to in ? . , n form yoa that in. my opinion the T settlement of such boundary dis putes a salaries in the matter under , consideratoin is a matter of Euro ^ pean concern in whith, in accord with the traditional policy of the e United States, this government Q should not become involved. The at J titude of the government in this mat ter is clearly understood by its rep- ^ ^ c resentative in Europe, who, will, ' 't 5 therefore, so far as at present may fce seen, take no part in the. discus- . sions concerning Upper Sdlesia and - will express no opinion as to the r settlement" 0 GENERAL SESSIONS COURT b CONVENES HERE JUNE 6 d K/ ' ?
