I.L.O. Still Very Much Alive

THE I, L. O. Year Book for 19- 39-40 has just arrived from Geneva, and serves to remind us that despite war difficulties, the Office is still at work,

Its work is no longer being carried on In Switzerland, though the headquarters remain there.

The stuff has been greatly re- duce and is dispersed about the world.

Some officials are in Britain. while Mr. J. G. Winnnt, the Director, and others are in Mõn- treal, where a new Organising Contra had been set up tem- porarily.

BRITAIN'S OFFER TO RUSSIA

-Reply Awaited

It is understood that" no answer has yet been re- ceived from the Russian |Government to the British proposal made to Mr Maisky, the Russian Am bassador, says a London correspondent.

Mr Maisky was entertained to Ianch by Lord Halifax, after which a conference took place at the Foreign Office about the new status of Lithuania. Esthonta. and Latvia resulting from their incorporation In the U.S.S.R.

Lord Halifax's proposal is understood to have been that the Russian Government should pre- cisely assess the amount of its claims against the Brilish Gov- ernment for gold (amounting to about £4,000,000) and ships (some liventy-five to thirty) formerly belonging to the Baltic States now held by Britain, and that the British claim for invest- ments, loans, and other property in the Baltic States bo placed against them.

It is understood to be the British revited estimate that such Britian loans amount to some £5,500.000, Mr Maisky has tranzmitted the pro- potal to Moscow and is waiting for the answer.
