London Shows Faith
 In Polish Industry

Warsaw, Sept. 4.-Lodz. the textile center of Eastern Europe, has owed English exporters 2,0OO,00o pounds for raw materials since before the war. A committee from Lodz recently went to London to find a method of payment. It was finally agreed that the Lodz debtors are to liquidate in 20 installments, one every six months. but if conditions improve, the install ments may be sent forward at shorted intervals.
 The relations between Lodz and English dealers dn textiles always have been close. Lodz bought it's cot ton and other rough materials in Lon don. War and the German occupa- ton, followed by German acquisitions and the failure to receive monies due from Russian customers, prevented the Lodz spinners from meeting their English obligations.
 AS a further evidence of British faith in Polish industry, the London bankers agreed to help the Lodz in terests collect from Germany for ma terials requisitioned during the war, and also to extend, to them new cred its.
