  Arthur Bliss Lane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arthur Bliss Lane (16 June 1894 - 12 August 1956) was United States ambassador to Poland (1944-1947).
Lane was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Kings County, New York.
Being in Poland, Lane was so saddened that he resigned and wrote the book which detailed what he considered to be the failure of the United States and Britain to keep their promise that the Poles would have a free election after the war.

 Revision of borders of Poland (1945) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Defenders of the actions taken by the Western allies maintain that realpolitik made it impossible to do anything else, and that they were in no shape to start a war with the Soviet Union over the subjugation of Poland and other Eastern European countries immediately after the end of World War II.
Bliss Lane claimed that some actions of Secretary of State were a result of ignorance rather than realpolitik.
The latest discussion indicates that the real problem was that Western politicians had promised Stalin that they would settle the issue of borders with the Poles, but failed to do so.

 Arthur Benjamin
Arthur was a gunner and had been called out very early that morning to fight a German squadron, but without the baron.
Arthur Benjamin died at the age of 66 at the Middlesex Hospital from a re-occurence of the cancer that had first attacked him three years earlier.
Above all, Arthur Benjamin prized ‘professionalism’, a notion he held to with rigour and which was probably instilled in him during the early years at the Royal College of Music where, even then–or especially then (!)–the relative certainties of Parry and Stanford were being dismantled by the younger turks.

 Digging up Dean Acheson, by John F. McManus
U.S. Ambassador to Poland Arthur Bliss Lane sought unsuccessfully to block one $90 million grant for Poland negotiated by Donald Hiss (who, like brother Alger, was up to his neck in Red activities).
Lane knew the money would assist communists in their drive to dominate Poland.
Prior to the USSR's development of the atomic bomb, when the U.S. was the sole possessor of such a weapon, Acheson showed his world government proclivities by drafting a plan to place control of all nuclear power under international authority.

And now, borne far through the steaming air floats an odor, balsamic, startling: the odor of those plumes and stalks and blossoms from which is exuding freely the narcotic resin of the great nettle.
The nostril expands quickly, the lungs swell out deeply to draw it in: fragrance once known in childhood, ever in the memory afterward and able to bring back to the wanderer homesick thoughts of midsummer days in the shadowy, many-toned woods, over into which is blown the smell of the hemp-fields.
When, therefore, the tidings of the university with its Bible College reached him, whose outward mould was hardship, whose inner bliss was piety, at once they fitted his ear as the right sound, as the gladness of long awaited intelligence.
