ALLIES NOTE ON
POLAND IS LAUDED
! BY PADERENSKI

Ienatius Paderewski, representative
in the United states Of the national
Polish committee at Paris. in answer
to a request for q comment on me
joint allied declaration in favor OF
Poland as made yesterday at the al
lied war council 1T Versailles, issued
the following statement:
The joint note on the part Of the
entente powers. recognizing the
righteousness and justice or Poland's
claims, as formulated at the allied
war council at ersailles, is a fact of
historical Importance and as a solemn
common pledge OF the entente powers
win not fail 10 produce the deepest
impression, an1 VIII undoubtedly be
greeted with enthusiasm by all the
Poles.
THE adoption Of such a common
declaration with regard to Poland
has been the object OF the most earn
est endeavors OF the national Polish
committee at Paris even before its
recognition as an official organiza-
tion. as well as Of the Polish imml-
grafton in the United States. Although
its enuicistion comes many months
after the generous and momentous ut
terances Of the President OF the Uni
ted States, its Importance Is not to be
Questioned.
1T is to be hoped that the pubIica-
tion OF this note will also aid in modi-
flying the opinion OF those who, in
their relations with the Polish people
and IN their attitude toward the Polish
army IN France, have unknowingly and
unconsciously been laboring against
the most vital interests OF the entente
powers and America"

London, May 16-Great Britain is
prepared TO consider proposals from
the enemy. provided they are put
forward By accredited persons in a

Secretary Balfour declared today IN
the House of Commons.
IF any representative of any bel

we are ready to listen TO them.
The British government was desir-

The American government. said Mr..
Balfour, was at the time no better

himself was, but if anyone supposed
that on that account any want Of
confidence in the American govern
ment had been shown. he was under
complete delusion.
