The Polish government has a num- ber of motives for this. First, it has hopes of a fruitful collaboration with Italy in Russia. Secéndly, if Poland is to achieve the position it is trying to create, it cannot remain one of France's #vassals" in central Europe, 'even. fh the Franco-Polish al- liance 'continues to be one of the keystones of Polish policy. Any rap- ement with other great powers --England, Italy; United States -- in- creases Poland's freedom of action, and even, by raising its value in the eyes of France, makes the French al- liance more profitable.

Credits, into the "selling policies" of manu- Berets of plumbers' supplies, He claimed thé council did not' confent itself with "coercing" the wholesalers, But went right to the filtimate source of supplies. Xo ' YR. C. Longley, Walkerville plumber identified the letters. He. also 'Said ope plumbing supply company. had supplied him with United States s because they were unable to tain goods from Canadian manu- facturers. The head of the company had told him other supply compan- ies would cease to buy from any manufacturer who sold to the of- fending wholesaler, + "This throws light on the work af the dominion chamber of credits which is supposed to be dealing with financial reports and collections," ommented Mr. Griffiths. "In reality it was busy at the task of coercing manufacturers." Two instances of alleged espionage were also cited by Longley. The day after he had been examined by F. A. McGregor, registrar under, the Com- bines act, somcone had phoned his Home saying he was Mr. Griffiths, he person asked his wife how much he had paid to the guild. Later the man had phoned again and put the same question to Mr. Longley aske ing also the names of the plumbers of sing the giuld, Witness had re- ed he had given all the informa- tibn to Mr. McGregor. , Spy System Alleged #I did not telephone you at all," said Mr. Griffiths. "This is just an ili Bstration of how the spy system rks." he other instance related to a pur- clase of some supplies by Longley from a steel company after he had been expelled from the A.B.C. Half an hour after he had been telephoned by the manager of the wholesale firm and told that Ward, secretary of the gtild, had warned him to cancel Longley's order. The commission received point nk assurance at the sitting that the local guild has not. halted its adtivities during the current inquiry and does not contemplate any change of} program. The admission emanated from C. E. Padden, the organization zone chair- man, who was called suddenly to the witness stand by the commission ery. Gordon Waldron, K.C. #"I want to know if you and the .C. persist inthe practices we arc investigating?" demanded the com- sioner. #1 do not understand your ques- tion," responded Paddon, #1 want you to answer my question you still persisting in these prac- tices?" pursued the commissioner. ry Intend to Continue n then answered in the af- and questioned further, de- red that the guild intended to it up. There is te be no change in; the methods during the enquiry, and in spite of its attendant publici- ty; he added. Another significant warning from th commissioner to prospective wit- nes featured the opening of the m@rning's session. Commissioner gldron, after = recapitulation of the evidence adduced since the inquiry opened last Monday morning, de- livered his impressions of the revela- pr tee d with that the local members of the C. had continued their opera- during the current probe. 'He said: "I am shocked to hear that the practices which we have been inquiring into are continuing at present. I should have thought that the labor union, the A.B.C. and the wholesalers would have given as- surance that the practice would cease.

Economic Gains Necessary This means that Polish policy is bound to aggravate those who believe a peaceful modification of the posts war status of eastern Europe neces sary. It also means that Poland is trying to secure a position which it will be able to fill only if it makes big strides in'economic life and ceases to be one of the poorest countries of Europe . A necessary condition of success for its foreign policy will be the success of the energetic measures to improve agriculture, industry, com- mercé and finance. land 'welcomes all general non- aggressive peace pacts or treaties be+ cause they apply equally to new fron- tiers in eastern Europe and old ones which no one disputes in the west. The only Polish objection to' the Lo- carno treaty is that it distinguishes between the Polish-German and the French-German frontiers, giving the former only a modified form of guar- antec. Foreign Minister Zaleski has frequently protested against the eva- cuation of the Rhineland being made the occasion of a renewed differen- tiation between ~ Germany's eastern and western frontiers, It is not at all clear, however, how his protest can be made effective.

The Ogono took a big list and I rushed to the cabins of the wireless opera- for and mates, when I returned to the bridge the ship was rapidly sink- ing.

Captain G. Anderson of the Kings Cross said: "I was asleep at the time of the collision. The force of the? impact threw me to the floor from my bunk. "Mate Gardner was on the ° bridge, and he told me he did not' see the Ogono until he was right on top of her. It was then impossible to avoid a collision.

Poland, like the other lesser bene- ficiaries, under the treaty of Ver- sailles, signed a treaty guarantceing certain rights to national minorities and giving the league certain rights to intervene in their defence. 'Ger- many raises the question in the form: "Is league control effective?" ; Pol- and in the form: "Is league control valuable and how far is it being ex ploited for political ends?" The only conditions under which the Poles would consent to an increase of their obligations would be the acceptance of the same obligations by all mem- bers of the league, which is, of course, out of the question. The most important open question between Germany and Poland is the commercial treaty. Negotiations for its conclusion have now been going on for four years without success, and the difference between the two coun- tries have been narrowed down con- siderably, = Although. the question has been separated almost entirely from political complications and the principal difficulty is the German far- mers' fear of Polish competition, the Poles attribute great political import- ance to the conclusion of the treaty. They believe that once normal busi- ness relations are well grounded, they will take precedence over political pas- sions, Germans will be more inclined to treat the new frontiers as normal, and the first step in improving Pol- ish-German relations will have been made, Business Thrives Despite Hate At present a "customs war" rages between the two countries. This means that Germany has forbidden the import of Polish coal and many agricultural 'products, and Poland has put an embargo on many German manufactures. In spite of this, Pol« and has more business relations with Germany than with any foreign pow- power it was expected that he would be interested in Russia and Lithuania. The attempt to reach an understand- ing with Lithuania has failed, and the Poles do not hope for any im- provement as long as M. Waldema- ras remains premier. ; Russian-Polish relations also have reached a stage of inertia. Poland welcomed the Moscow protocol to the Kellogg pact, partly as an addi- tional guarantee of peace, but still more because it affords the precedent: of Moscow dealing with its western neighbors together, Warsaw has al- ways been determined to prevents Moscow from isolating each of «the little Baltic states "a its inclusive he- gemohy.
