The aim of the article was to examine the diplomatic activity of the Polish diplomat Kazimierz Papée (1889-1979) in the Free City of Danzig in the years 1933-1934. The author focused on Papée’s relations with Hermann Rauschning, the President of the Free City of Danzig Senate, taking into account the accompanying circumstances. The historical sources utilised and analysed in this study are, in large part, unknown reports prepared by Papée, which he sent to Warsaw. Papée was the General Commissioner of the Republic of Poland in the Free City of Danzig from 1932 to 1936. He sought to preserve the Polish rights in Danzig. His term in office coincided also with the presidency of Rauschning, who was the first politician associated with the Nazi Party at the post of President of the Danzig Senate. Both Papée and Rauschning fulfilled their duties in circumstances of subordination of the Polish-Danzig relations to relations between Warsaw and Berlin. Each of them had his own vision of how relations between Poland and the Free City should be shaped. Rauschning was remembered as a politician who sought to reach a settlement with Poland. That being so, the question arises how Papée managed to cope, given the then current conditions, and what particular courses of action were taken by him in contacts with the President of the Danzig Senate. Another issue related to the research is an assessment of the consequences of these contacts. Such an appraisal had to be made in the light of the paramount principle of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs which was the maintenance of good Polish-German relations.

The paper aims to illustrate profiles of important Polish diplomats in relations between Poland and the Pacific. The characteristics of the Pacific region, its geopolitical position towards Europe, the relatively small trade, as well as limited diplomatic ties do not pose a priority direction to Polish diplomacy. However, as been shown by Western scholars, the role of Oceania gradually increases, neglecting the existing supremacy of the Atlantic Community. Warsaw efforts to maintain and then to deepen friendly relations with the Pacific are caused by various reasons. There is a need for establishment strategic partnerships on the political and economic basis. This is crucial for Poland, which looks to strengthening its role on the international arena. Polish ambassadors and consuls, including honorary consuls work on many areas of bilateral cooperation, often beyond the obligations under the Vienna Convention. That is the daily work of Polish diplomats, which allows bringing closer two distant regions (in both geographic and social sense) for our mutual benefit. Some significant names have to recalled already here: John Roy--Wojciechowski, former Honorary Consul of Poland in Auckland, whose multidimensional activity influenced development of Polish--New Zealand relations, Bożena Jarnot, Honorary Consul in Hawaii, involved in popularising Polish culture in the UK and Paweł Milewski, Polish Ambassador to Australia and Papua New Guinea, who is the Foreign Ministry envoy to establish further diplomatic relations with the Pacific.

Referat ma na celu przedstawienie ważnych dla relacji Polska-Pacyfik postaci polskich dyplomatów. Specyfika regionu Oceanu Spokojnego, jego położenie względem Europy, relatywnie mała wymiana handlowa, a także nieliczne stosunki dyplomatyczne z państwami Pacyfiku Południowego sprawiają, iż nie jest to kierunek priorytetowy polskiej dyplomacji. Jednak, jak wskazują zachodni badacze, rola Oceanii stopniowo acz znacząco rośnie, deklasującym tym samym dotychczasowy prym Wspólnoty Atlantyku. Starania Warszawy o nawiązanie, a następnie pogłębianie przyjaznych relacji z państwami Pacyfiku spowodowane są m.in. potrzebą ustanowienia partnerstwa strategicznego na gruncie politycznym i ekonomicznym. Ma to kluczowe znaczenie dla Polski, która dąży do umocnienia jej roli na arenie międzynarodowej. Polscy ambasadorzy oraz konsulowie zawodowi, a także honorowi, działają na wielu płaszczyznach współpracy bilateralnej, nierzadko wykraczając poza obowiązki wynikające z Konwencji Wiedeńskich. To dzięki codziennej pracy dyplomatów z Polski, dwa tak odległe geograficznie i społecznie regiony mogą współdziałać na rzecz obopólnych korzyści. Już teraz należy wymienić nazwiska Johna Roy-Wojciechowskiego, byłego Konsula Honorowego RP w Auckland, którego wieloaspektowa aktywność znacząco wpłynęła na rozwój relacji polsko-nowozelandzkich, Bożeny Jarnot – Konsul Honorowej na Hawajach, angażującej się w popularyzację polskiej kultury na Wyspach oraz Ambasadora RP na Australię oraz Papuę Nową Gwineę, Pawła Milewskiego, który jest wysłannikiem MSZ w ustanawianiu kolejnych stosunków dyplomatycznych na Pacyfiku.
