Summary/Abstract: The article deals with two aspects of the American Relief Administration’s activities in Poland in 1919–1922. The first is the question of selecting a destination port for American ships delivering food aid to Poland under the ARA. The main consideration was the choice of one of two Baltic ports: Szczecin or Gdańsk. The second issue is the difficulties in the delivery and distribution of US food aid in Poland. These included, among other issues, theft and delays occurring during shipments from Gdańsk into the interior of the Republic of Poland.
