Abstract

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on his long standing diplomatic experience and exceptional interpersonal skills by preparing conditions for negotiations which general Sikorski held in the United States between 23rd and 30th of March 1942. During the negotiations Raczyński, and later Sikorski, ensured financial resources for the operations of the Polish Underground State and included Poland into the Lend- Lease Act. The failures were the lack of Polish-American political agreement and approval of US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt to the idea of the European Central Federation.
