Poland's tribute to America. Old Glory flies over Warsaw, as a testimonial to America which is the model of the new republic, Poland this year declared America's Independence Day a national holiday. The celebration, a demonstration before American Red Cross personnel and either Americans in Warsaw, was one which has never been surpassed in the United States for enthusiasm. All day long the Stars and Stripes floated from the tower of the city hall in Warsaw, Poland's capital, and all day thousands of children marched through the great plaza beneath the flag and before the replica of the Statue of Liberty which was erected on the high balcony of the opera. The celebration is shown in detail in the Red Cross motion picture film "Poland's tribute to America"
