PADEREWSKI ON AMERICAN AID
American aid for the Allies was discussed with unusual bluntness by M. Paderewski, the pianist and first Prime Minister of modern Poland, in a broadcast made from his hotel in New York. He told Americans that contribution to the war effort meant sacrifice, not denla.
"All of you are under the Impression that your present cal- laboration for the final. victory of the democracies is something that deserves general appreciation and praise," he said. "Far from under-catimating the importance of your help to date I have to make some reservations as far as your contributions are con- cerned.
"First of all the cash and carry rule leaves you very little opportunity. Even the transac- tion of exchanging 50 destroyers against important strategical naval bases has again to be con- sidered rather as a deal than as a contribution.
"Contribution means sacrifice. Don't you Americans realise that every plane, every load of munitions, which reaches England postpones the pros- pect of your eventual arined inter- vention?
Common Victory "Across the ocean there are mit lions of men' already, fighting and eager to fight for the thal victory, which is the common victory of leivilization and demnerncy. They need proper arms, they need food, they begin to feel a shortage of the means of transportation and they need financial assistance;
"Their defeat would directly en- danger this country. Their victory, will be your victory ton,
M. Paderewski said that there was no truth in a report that he had vowed not to play the piano again until Poland was liberated.

"Our attitude toward this race is a threat to the whole theory and practice of democracy," he declared. "So long as we de. grade one segment of the people, we set a pattern of caste and discrimination that may easily be transferred to other groups." To prove the progress of the Negro, he cited the following stails- tles: literacy has jumped from åve per cent at the time of emancipation to 85 per cent to-day; the death rate has dropped from 32 per 1000 in 1800

Second King George V Class Battleship
It is believed in London that two of the new King George V class of battleships have been commissioned.
They are H.M.S. King George V, which arrived in Anno- polis recently, and H.M.S. Prince of Wales, upon which
construction was commenced simultaneously.
A total of $1,500,807.43 WILS reached When the remaining three battleships of this class-the Duke yesterday by the War. Fund inaugurated of York, Jellicoe and Beatty-are commissioned. Britain will have five battleships which will more than equal the combined new constructions of both the Italian and German navies.
