Abstract
Stanisław Patek (1866-1944) was a prominent lawyer in the Polish Kingdom in the years 1904-1911. He had links with Masonic, socialist and liberal groupings, and was involved in a diverse range of socio-political activities. During the revolutionary turmoil of 1905 he established contacts with Józef Piłsudski and soon entered Piłsudski’s inner-circle of collaborators. After World War I, Patek abandoned his professional legal practice for the world of diplomacy and politics. He was delegated by Piłsudski to attend the Paris Peace Conference in February 1919. During the Polish-Soviet War, he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs (16 December 1919 – 9 June 1920). He was Poland’s official representative in Tokyo (1921-1926) and Moscow (1927-1932), and the Ambassador to Washington in 1933-1936. He was appointed to the Senate of the Republic of Poland by the President in 1936, where he sat on the Senate’s Foreign Affairs Committee until 1939.
