to do everything we pouslbly can to facilitate the

M. Xenrkls Is, at present, very muoh engaged on

the accounts In oonneotlon with the £160,000 received

from the British Government, In liquidation of certain

refageos, but this partloulnr work will probably be

completed In the course of the next few days, when he

will probably have a certain amount of spare time,

whloh he could very well devote to the accounts of the

Health organlnntlon.-

I have discussed tho question with M. Xennkla,

[n o se It m y bo of ny assistance to you, I venture to enclose ■ letter of introduction to it* ouatinoff, ex pi' inlng th t you : re the delegate of the High Commlnar- rl t in Pr. nee nd ohargod with the dut lee In oonnoctlon with the repftri tion.

t ill now deni with tho various questions raised inyour letter to me of the 4th lnot.

1, "?ho High Commlonorl.' t will bo only too pie Bed to lo vo tho ohoioe of u delegate or the rephtrletlon work nt Mariellles entirely In your hando, and t should be gif. d to know, at your oonvenlenoe, what remunoratlon you would recommend for this work, bearing in mind that it is, for tho moment In any o oe, of a purely temporary n ture.At the a>me time perhaps you would kindly let me know whether such sums you recommend can be supported by your budget or ■ hethor It will be neoousary to moke a supplementary remltt noe front Genova,

2. The prlnolplè funotion oi' the delegate of the High Comm.; url-1 it Marseilles will be to auoert in and oertifjr that 11 refugees repatriated under the arrangement with the Soviet Government re returning to :tussla of their own free will, (n order t.lvt thin f> et may be definitely established, it will bo necessary to lnterrog te each re ugee and tu t ke i'rom him a signed deolaratlon to th t effect.Phe Soviet represent- tive will compile a nominal register of11 the refugees pt seed by hli i'or repi trl tion, > nd a oopy

of auoh register should be supplied by him to you. Che Soviet dole to should sign tho ret; is tor so passed to you, and, ftor you h ve satisfied yourself th t the i-eglstev refugees in tlv t register h ve expressed the wish to rotum to :iussla, you oould sign a oopy of tho register whloh the soviet representative m y wish to retain In hie possession. Three oertiflod ooplos of auoh a register, signed by the Soviet delO(;;-te nd yourself, should be ; ent to Genova.Une oopy will be retained In Genov ; nuther oopy will be transmitted to our representatives in Moscow, and a third oopy to our re resentatlve at the port of dlsemb.rk- tion in Russia, Tho enclosed oopy of a sheet from the register Issued by tho deleg to of the High Commissariat and the Soviet dele.; to in Bulgaria, m y bo useful to you as a model in this connection. In Hulgt rla, our represent tlve delivers to oeoh refugee, ftor satisfying him: o if th.-1 the refugee lu retur ing to jtusele of hln own free 'ill, a certificate certifying th-1 he 1b repatrl tod und r the arrangement entered Into bot- een tho High Comralm arli t nd thv Soviet Government, nd that the Soviet Govoi-nment t llowe him to o ommunlo to 1th Dr, Ham: on* a re,no sent tlvee In Russia, Lfter his rrival»

Cher Monsieur Halnglnlse,

je voub aoouse réception de votre lettre Ho. 508 du 2 courant, par laquelle vous noun remettes vos comptes pour loe cinq première mole de l'année courante. r,es ay nt examinee, notre comptable me fait savoir oe qui suit:-

Compte Janvier: Sn règle.

Comnte février: Bn règle.

Compte mars: Dans le relevé "postage" 11 y a une erreurdo I.3o fr. on votre défaveur. Par conséquent le solde que voue aviez > recevoir au 31 murs s'élevait > 480,35 frs. eu lieu de 479,35 frs.

Compte avril» ün rbgle. routefois 11 faudrait ajouter au solde [,00 fr. en votre feveur, différence dans le compte du mois de mars. Insl, lo solde que voua avlei t iooevolr h fin avril s'élevait h Frs. 371,65.-

Comote mal. Il y a une erreur d'addition dans le relevé "postige" de 0.05 fr, qui doivent être déduits du solde.

iin outre, dzint- ou môme relevé, vous faites figurer commo dépense 5,45 frs. de timbres en réserve. Comme oe montant constitue de l'urgent liquide, si vous passes à vos dépenses 5,45 frs. 11 faudrait passer également au débit de votre compte oe même montant, pour qu'il puisse être balancé plus tard, o'eat->-dire lorsque vous utiliserez ces timbres en leu passant di=ne loe dépenses r speotlves (posta» Néanmoins^ afin de ne pas embrouiller les écritures et comme Il s'agit en l'oocurrenoe d'argent dépensé de votre propre poche, Je croie qu'il vaudrait mieux que voue ne passiez aucune écriture et quo vous gardiez les timbres qui en réalité vous auparviennent. De cette façon, et en prenant en considération les oetltes différences eus-montlonnées, le solde de votre compte ou 31 mal s'élève >;

1585.86.- frs. en votre faveur,

oe que veuilles bien nous confirmer pour la bonne règle.

In reply to your memorandum of the 23rd May, I

would point oui. that all tho 5trt.es bordering on Russia

have dopted the identity Certificate for Ru e sirn Re

fugees, with the exception of tiethonla, which is not

very largely interested in tho question.

If therefore the only objection on the prrt of

the Polish Government i e that the Russian bordering St.- tea

have not fdoptod the system, e eeem to be in a position

to give almost a complete answer to the objection.

I must apologise In tho fir t Instance tor the delay In anawaring some of your letters recently, fcrat this le due to tho fr.ot thrt I have been on holiday. In the oour- ee of the next few days, 1 hope to deal with all the out- etrndlng lettere; eo I shall oonflno toyaelf In this note to your letter Ko. 3701 of the I6th Kay, relative to the appointment of b successor to yourself.

I am In oloee touoh with M. Bonnet on thla aubjeot, and hope la the near Mature t.o im ke rrrangenenta for the appointment of a now delegate on the Ilnee suggested iri the note which i ooomprtnled your letter nov under reply.

I tiiink perhaps that I ought to mnko como roferenoeto one of the remarks In your note to !.. Bonnet. You Baytit t before le~vln£ Genova the new delegrte should be given expliuit Instructions and that he should be kept continually au courant with the situation : ftor hla arrival In WareaW,I, of oourae, entirely agree with thle opinion, but I nmafraid thrt I must differ as far e.3 7. a n oonoerned from the Buggeution that you have not beon kept informed from Genova o: the progress of events. Ao for no I rm aware no i'tepe of ony iiapor tance hi.ve been taken in Geneva in connection with the Polish situation with wliioh you have nov boon uoqu^inbed und, although L i-m not In e position to offer any personal opinion with regard to the instructions given bo you before you loft Geneva, 1 was certainly under the impresolon thit de Wattevilla explained the el tout ion vary carefully to >ou and, moreover, gave you detailed written im-bruotionu for your guiclanoe.

I simpoy draw your attention to this point In orderto remove any ml minder standing to v.hioh tho remarks in your note might give rise#

Cher Monsieur,

j'ai le regret d'apprendre que la proposition for- mrnt l'objet de votre lettre du 14 courant, et transmise h 1. Tohltoherine à la fin du mois d avril, ne est parvenue que maintenant. Voue comprendre*, J en unib certain, que le manque de réponsea Produit «“J impression asse* défavorable, que J aurais prefer*

je saisie oette ooorsion pour attirer votre attention sur les délais oontinuele survenant Aans les né- gooiutione tond nt à oonolure un arrangement définitif au sujet du rapatriement.

Conformément h votre demande, le Haut-Commiseuriat, en date du 4 moi dernier, a adressé une lettre à Hoboou, résumant toutes les négociations qui avaient été entreprises. et comprenant oelles qui avaient boutl a un aooord. M. (iorvin a été informé que, non seulement le naragraphe I, nui s aussi les paragraphes 3 et 6 de oette lettre sont lnaooeptables. Comme les deux derniers paragraphes avaient été aooeptés sans réserve par M. Brodowsky dans sa lettre du 8 Janvier, Je ne puis que supposer que oette Information a été communiquée &U. Oorvin par erreur, d'autant plus que le Dr. Hansen a déjh pris dee mesures effectives oomme suite aux aseu- r-noes de M. Brodowsky.

Vous voue rendre* compte qu'il gérait trbs regrettable si le Dr. Hannen était obligé d'annoncer 1 annulation des garanties qu'il avait déjfe obtenues du Gouvernement soviétique, et Je voue serais très oblige de bien vouloir faire tout ce qui voue est possible pour obtenir le règlement de oette question, conformément à la lettre du 4 courant, adressée r Moscou.
