go Per Cent Curtailment
the War Industries
Board Says.

Curtailment of steel by the War
Industries Board will run as high
as 80 per cent in some of the less
essential Industries: IS per cent in
most of them, while those indus
tries decided upon as being non-
essential will be cut off entirely.
it was learned at the War Indus
tries Board yesterday.

steel. said as near as he could fig
ure at present there would be avail
able for other than war industries
probably Is per cent of the nor
NAL output. Bernard NJ. Baruch.
chairman of the War Industries
Board. believed it would be about
20 Per cent.
Use for Discarded Steel.
War industries will be kept fur
nished with 100 per cent require
ments. In all steel lots, 1t was eX-
planned, there are quantities of
steel that are rejected because of
the strict war specifications. This
discarded material is good for num-
erous other purposes and will be
distributed TO those factories that
will be able to use it. The amount
of 100 per cent steel to so to the
nonwar industries will not be more
than or per cent. while the dis
card product will amount to prob
ably 10 per cent. This will be the
only supply that will be available
for the lesser essential industries.
Listing Less Essentials.
The list Of less essential work
and the nonessential is being pre-
pared and it is expected it will be
announced within the next fort
night.
Pending this. all requests for
steel must go to the War Indus
tries Board and the proportion that
can be allowed will be approved.
Priorities will keep the supply fur
nished down to the figure that Mr..
Baruch and Mr.. Replogel believe it
wise in the present emergency to
give.

POLISH AID Pledge
BY ALLIES Cheers
Paderewski Applauds Action at
Versailles Meeting.

]. J. Paderewski, the authorized
and recognized representative in the
United States of the National Po-
lish Committee in Paris. in answer
to a report for comment on the
joint allied declaration in favor of
Poland as made at the Allied War
Council at Versailles issued the fol-
lowing statement:
The joint note on the part of
the Entente Powers. recognizing
the righteousness and justice of
POland's claims. as formulated at
the Allied War Council at Versail-
les, is a fact of historical impor-
tance and as a solemn common
pledge of the Entente Powers will
not fail to produce the deepest i'm
preston. and will 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
earnest endeavors of the National
Polish Committee at Paris oven be-
fore its recognition as an official
organization, as we'll as of the Po-
lish immigration in the United
States. Although it's enunciation
comes many months after the gen.
erous and momentous utterances of
the President OF the United States,
its Importance is not to be ques-
toned.
1T is to be hoped that the pub
lication of this note will also aid
in modifying the opinion of those
who, in their relations with the Po-
lish people and in their attitude to-
wards the Polish army in France,
have unknowingly and unconscious
ly been laboring against the most
vital interests of the Entente Pow
ers and America"
