PADEREWSKI ON AMERICAN AID

American aid for the Allies was discussed with unusual bluntness by M. Paderewski, the planist 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 deals.

"All of you are under the Impression that your present cal- Iaboration for the final victory of the democracies is something that deserves general appreciation and praise," he said, "Far from under-estimating 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 buses has again to be con- sidered rather as a deal than as a contribution.

"Contribution menes sacrifice. Don't you Americans realise that every
