Until newspapermen are allowed to visit former Polish territory, shall not know in any detail of conditions there But enough information has leaked out in recent weeks to make up an appalling picture supplementing the shocking revelations of the Vati- radio of quite some weeks ago The hardship which prevails through nearly all of German controlled Poland be traced to sev- eral Nazi policies. Berlin is attempting first to make Germans master there, and Poles a slave race It is attempting also to draw off all "surpluseS" of food and industrial commodities for use in the Reich.
 Berlin furthermore is trying to reSettle vast numbers of persons, this complex of enforced migra- tons adding enormously to the total hardship Fin ally Berlin is trying to conceal the ugly truth from the world, and therefore has forbidden even the American Red Cross, which is not an espionage agen- cy from minstering to the needs of Polands hungry and disheartened millions.
 It is encouraging to find that the Vatican has made arrangements to send its Nuncio in Germany on visit to Poland His primary purpose will De to discover whether of violent anti Catholic policies true. But since he is one of the few foreigners allowed to enter German Poland and free to speak when he returns, his visit almost certainly will produce additional information regarding general conditions

Without record vote the chamber

starting July /.
The House held the measure to a

339,23l under the total available Tor
the current fiscal year. It retained
many of the reductions made by its

the committee cuts 'perfectly ter

Democrat, Texas, had pleaded with
tears in his eyes for restoration OF
a S25,000,000 loan fund TO help ten

Now the bill goes to the Senate
where farm state members will try
