I must presume that u was only
your lack OF knowledge OF the aiti-

assumed toward both the Russian
soviet Government and The Republic
of Poland that permitted such a mis-
taken presentation OF the situation.
Your editorial made the statement
that The War Department turned

drcd thousand pairs of shoes IN

which purported 10 be a list OF
awards made by The surplus Property
Division Oiice of the Quartermastcr
General. included the Russian Soviet

certain Items of clothing and equip
age which had been offered for sal'
under informal bids The fact was tha
no awards of the commodities EN-
hraccd In This list hal been approved
40 the time This premature announce
funi was issued, and. consequently
