In the three years which have in

OF land which were unproduotive in
1919 are now yielding good crops
and thoussds OF factories idle in
1919 are now in operation. Poland
is not only meeting her own needs
but is able to export both agricul-
tural and manufactured products.
She no longer is dependent upon
help from other nations.

From the New York Tribune.
In voioans reaction against strict

Few will deny the soundness OF

POLISH RELIEF

WORK FINISHED
From the New York Herald.
The report OF the American Re-
lief Administration regarding the
Chndren's Fund in Poland, which
has Just been issued, has two In
teresting sides. One tells OF the
gratifying success OF the American
effort to relieve distress and the
other Of the success OF Poland IN
80 helping herself as to make any
further contribution OF outside re-
lief unnecessary.
The net value OF supplies furnish
ed by the American Relief Admin
istratlon was s2O.294.SS0. In addi-
tion the Polish Government turned
over to the Administration a New
York remittance fund of s2,26O,000.
and Poland herself made a contrlbu-
ton 10 relief work OF s14,459. 900.
Ths distribution Of relief began in
May, 1919, with the feeding OF 125,-
900 children. A year later. when
the peak OF the distribution was
reached, the Administration supplied
food to 1.315.49O Hohsh children
and their mothers.
The report pays a high tribute to
tho sacrifice and devotion OF the
American and Polish field workers
who carried this relief to thousands

cynics TO say that the deficit Of
