and co-operation Of the allied gov ernments.
 Tn making provision for food sup plies for these people we should need not only to rely on charity, but to assemble all the economic resources of Poland and it's institutions in much the same manner as has been done in Belgium, and we should need the per mission of His Majesty's government to facilitate exchange and banking operations
 The painful gravity of the situ- ation in Poland cannot be gainsaid. nor need l apologize for the interest this organization has taken in the : Polish people, in addition to our other very grave responsibilities. We have no desire to add to our bur dens, but if fourteen months of ser vice in Belgium have commended US to the various belligerent govern ments, it is our duty to use the con- fidence thus acquired in behalf of the Polish people and l wish to add that if the allied governments are pre- pared to assent to such relief meas ures, and if any one instance can be summoned to undertake their eXecu- tion. this commission would be glad to give any advice arising out of it's experience, or alternatively, we should be glad to incorporate such other body in any organization we might set up
 Sir Edward Greys letter to Mr Hoover, given out by the foreign Of flee for publication, follows:
 Dear MT. Hoover: l have carefully considered your letter of December = regarding the proposed scheme for tn, relief of Poland. In the face of a. Cumulating evidence of German and Austrian acquisitions in Poland, some mention of which you will find in the enclosed telegraphic correspondence with Polish organizations in the United States. I fear it would be inn possible to enter into any arrange ment with you in regard to any scheme of relief until the German and Austrian governments have pro- hlbited the export of all foodstuff5 from Russian Poland and have guar anteed that native stocks of food stuffs shall not be drawn upon to
 maintain the occupying armies
 If, and when. this were done. it might be possible to come to an ar rangement with you allowing of the importation of certain articles into po- land in return for undertakings on the part of the German and Austrian governments to supply an adequate ration and other necessary articles } and to give you a free hand in the distribution of all stocks of fCodstlffS 5 thus made available
 But prohibition of export and thc guarantees mentioned above must be regarded as conditions precedent to any further discussion, since these , measures are demanded by the situ- . ation now existing quite independently of the question of imports and the , fact that they have not vet heen pGt , into force constitutes evidence that the German and Austrian governments will never cooperate in any work un- dertaken in the interests of the popu- lation of Poland

 Some time ago General Iushes an nounced that his chief intelligence officer was of German birth, and this statement had occasioned protests. Discussing the subject tonight. Cen cral Hughes said:
 The intellisence officer to whom I referred is not in Canada, but at the front. He is only one of hundreds 8f German-Canadians who are fighting for the British flag He has won the distinguished service order for gal lantry in the trenches It would he well if those who are inclined to criti- else loyal German Canadians would follow their example and go to'the front to fight instead of staying at home to criticise brave men who arc risking their lives.
 As for the fires which have re gently caused so much excitement. I am sure We would have fewer fires in munitions factories, parliament buildings and public and private places generally if people would be more careful to see that their cigar and cigarette stumps are eXtinguished be-

SHOULD
 DO WITHOUT DYES
London Paper Much Incensed That the Blockade Should Have Been Relaxed
 to Allow Passage of Cargo

London, May 20.-Great Britains action in consenting to relax her blockade order and permit the safe passage of 15,000 tons of dyestuffs from Germany to the limited States, was strongly condemned in a lengthy editorial in the Morning Post today, because such action gives an ad- vantage to manufacturers of neutral powers over our own manufacturers. Thanks to our laissez-faire policy" the Post continues, "our industries are with out dyes with which competing industries of another nation are about to be sup piled. British textiles must go without, but American textiles are to be supplied by the courtesy of the British navy. Ger many thus accompishes two ends: She prevents the American dye industry from esta blishing itself and she strikes heavy Glow at the English textile
 Although the German ambassador at Washington on April 20 in a note to Sec retary Lansing, said Germany had agreed to permit the exportation to the United States of 150oo tons of dyestuffs. Great Britain so far as is known here has not sanctioned the passage of the dyes through British lines, A Washington dis patch of May 17 said the British govern ment would permit a small quantity of dyes for the United States to pa ss through the blockade, but that state de- partment officials were not hopeful that a large quantity would be allowed to reach the United States within the near future

BRITISH PUBLIC IS
 SAVING DAYLIGHT
All Clocks Were Put Forward an Hour at 2 O'Clock This Morning
 Will Continue Until September 30

London, May 20.-The hands on all clocks on British railroads, postoffices, newspaper buildings, police stations, and other public places. where business is conducted throughout the night, will be pushed forward at o'clock tomor- row morning to 3 o'clock, in accord ance with the Daylight saving act. The general public will put their clocks and watches one hour ahead before going to bed tonight, or will awake to find themselves late for breakfast
 The new schedule will run until Sep tember 30, when clocks will be stopped for an hour. Factories, banks, stores. trains, theatres and restaurants will also conform to the new time sched- ule. There is a small old fashioned section of the people who have derided the daylight saving act scheme, but they will be practically forced into line by its acceptance in all public insti- tutions
 The only exception will be the parks in the large cities which will open an hour later to allow people the benefit of more fresh air. The hour of on Sunday was selected for the change be- cause fewer trains are running then than at any other time during the week.
