Summary/Abstract: Presented in this article are negotiations that the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Edward Raczyński had in North America (United States, Canada). These include meetings held between the dates of 15th of February and 13th of March 1942. The main purpose of the visit, apart from organizing all the finer details connected with the arrival of the Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief was to increase the United States interest in European issues (especially Polish matters). Among Raczyński’s other tasks one was to recognize the possibility of the signing of a Polish-American political agreement and another was to raise a favorable loan from the United States.
