 Thousands upon thousands of Poles are sorely iE need of food and would be most deploabe if the ef fort to bring the beligerent governments into agree ment on the relief measures failed It might innum erable deaths from starvaon and broken health for great many others who survive.
 Poland like Belgium. is an innocent sufferer. Like Belgium Poland has been oyerrun by great armies Po land has probably been the greatest sufferer although we have heard less of 1t because 1t Is remote from us than Belgium The resources of Poland have been attacked by the bengerents of both sides. When the Russian army retreated destroyed food supplies that might fall into the hands of the Germans And when the Germans advanced yictorously they doubt add ed to the destruction.
 Poland is preeminently the country that needs very prompt relief The need has existed for some time. but the outside world has slow respond because the plight of Poland was clearly presented In the last two months the United States has come to rcalize in measure what the conditions are and as result giving to the relief fund has been generous.
 Little good will the gifts of money do unless the way can be opened for the introduction of food The Poles need food rather than money.
 The obstacle in the way of relief is Che suspicion on the part of Great Britain that Germany and Austria Hungary agree not to draw upon Polish supplies to sustain the occupying armies Great Britains policy has been and is to bring economic pressure to bear up- on her enemies ana naturally she would desire guaran' tees to prevent them from beuefng from relief work conducted by neutrals
 The American commission for relief in Belgium has had such remarkable success that was proposed the commission undertake similar work for Poland While Sir Edward Greys letter to Herbert Hoover chairman of the American commission. is discouraging' surely the matter will not end thus. The neutral world is ready and anxious to help Poland, and this sentiment should be clearly strongly impressed upon the bel lgerents.
 Why cannot the needed work be done in Poland as it has been done Belgium? The Poles should have restored to them the national independence which was taken away century ago when Austria. Russia and Germany parceled Poland
 But the question of independence aside. certainly the warning powers enough humanity to open the road for waiting outside relief to enter

 From over the country came survey Of labor con- d.,ions offering many problems. Some Of these were purely local whereas others reflected the great sug- gle going on in Europe. The charges growing out of econsphacio to ioment strikes" had direc reaction on several organizations md several reported losses in membership as result Other problems arose from the startling change from industrial depression to high tide of prosperity and many of these will have to be settled this year
 From Boston from Chicago, from the textile indus. tries in New England and from other sections of the country came more notices Of higher wages The tre- nendous need of labor along the waterfront in Boston had corresponding reaction labor conditions, and the pay of ongahorepen was increased from to cents an hour

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE

The necessity of having revenue cutter service stationed permanently in Alaskan waters. during the winter season. is accentuated from time to time When the revenue cutter Unalga was commissioned. 1t was understood that the vessel be kept in Alaskan waters throughout the year. As matter Of Alas kan waters have seen the cutter only for brief period during the summer season The reason for this change of plan is not definitely known It reported some two or three years ago. that the Treasury Department would make Juneau the Unsgas headquarters. if suit able dockage facilities were provided There the mat ter seems to have since rested and the Unalsa has spent the winter seasons in Puget Sound waters or in those of California If the cutter were avail able in Alaska during the winter opportunities to rem der service would be all too plentiful in all probability
 There are unfortunately every winter, wrecks coupled with the loss of life and. while revenue cut ter could not prevent wreck disasters. its services could be speedily enlisted nfe.sayng purposes, and rendering such other ad might be needed Un- der the present arrangements the cutters are of no service to shipping in Alaska during the winter season.
 u 1t is the lack Of docking facilities in Juneau that alone prevents the sationng of cutter here some means night be found to the difficulty, even if it involved the building Of suitable dock by the government
