La Délégation polonaise oe souviendra que la Oonférenoe dea Gouvernements tenue k Ganëve en juil­let 1982 a recommandé U" arrangement relatif aux certificats d'identité à l'usage des ré a iée ruc.ses, arrangement qui a été adopté ultérieurement par le Gouvernement polonais.

L'un dec lnolpaux objets de oe oortlfloat d'identité était de permettre aux réfu ids de voyager librement pour pouvoir ae livrer & leurs ooou- pationa normales ot améliorer ainsi leur situation éoonomi,ue.

Il paraîtrait, cependant, ,ue des réfugiés russes rencontrent en Allemagne des difficultés consi­dérables pour obtenir le visa de leur oortlfloat d’identité on vue de pénétrer on Pologne; il en est de- nfcirie pour oeux oui possèdent dee biens en . ologne, dont ilu peuvent -désirer s'ooouper, ou ul sont dûment reconnus comme vo. ageure de commerce, direc­teurs ou propriétaires d’entreprises industrielles et autres, ou dans le oas d’enfante désireux d':.ller paseer leurs vacances auprès de leurs parents, alors que ces réfugiée «ont tous en oossesslon au visa de retour allemand.

Le r. Nanoen ne se rend que trop bien compte que la lourde oharge que supporte, au point de vue a2*/réfugiée, le Gouvernement polonala, veo tant de générosité, oblige oe Gouvernement à interdire l'en­trée do son territoire aux réfugiés qui lui paraie- cont devoir tomber à la oharge le l'Etat, n»ls 11 te permet d exprimer le vif eepoir ,ue le Gouvernement polonais pourra envisager la possibilité do rendre moins rigoureuse* oee resures de restrictions, en

Monsieur Horadounghian the President of the national

Armenian Delegation urges that a olauae somewhat on the

following lines should be inserted in the Armenian Refugee

Identity Oertlflcate

"Le but de oe oertlfloat d'ldentlte est exclusivement do munir les réfugiés arméniens d'un aote d'état civil qui tiendrait lieu au besoin de passeport provisoire sans préjuger et sans atténuer le moine du monde la nationalité' ou la sujétion du porteur".

Monsieur Noredounghian considers that it is very neoeeeary

that some suoh clause should appear In the Identity Certificate

as otherwise he S ra that the Turkish authorities may endeavour

to use these certificates as proof that certain Armenians are

no longer Turkish subjects.

Suoh a step w'uld not only prevent the settlement of a sub­

stantial portion of the Armenian Refugee problem but it would

oonstntute a considerable hardship to numerous Armenians who

possess property In Turkey, which they fear itoy be confiscated.

I,of course, pointed out to Monsieur Horadounghian that

the question was more or less covered in the letter which the

Secretary-General addreosed to the interested Governments on

June 10th when submitting the plan and Model Identity Certi­

ficate for their considération. He contended, however, that

the Turk!eh authorities would only attach importance to the

wording1 of the Oertl fl cate, and would not take oogni zanoe of

any eupplementary document suoh as that to whloh I referred.

Monsieur Horadounghian also jailed attention to certain

features of the Trenoh text of the Identity Dertlfloate marked

in the attached copy, showing the modifications which have been

lntroduoed by the Frenoh 0< vernment. With the exqeptl n of the

omi sion of the height of the refugee theee alterations appear

to result from a faulty translation of the orlgimal Bnglleh

e

There certainly seems to be some point In the proposal

made by Monsieur Noradounghlan, but I wonder whether It i

be possible for us to introduce the modlfloatlon he desire

a definite adoption by the Oounoll of the existing text.

Dear Dr.Orelg,

X Aid not fell to ley before Dr.Nanaen your

telegram an» letter of the 2Iet and B6th of August res­

pectively, suggesting a vote of sympathy from the Aee-

embly In oonneotlon with the Chinese Flood Dlaaater.

Needle as to sey, your proposal olalmeâ Dr.Nanaen1a

wholehearted sympathy, and we immediately proceeded te

draft a statement and resolution on the subject for eub*

mleel on to the Assembly.

When, however, Dr.Nanaen submitted the proposal

te the competent authorities, he waa given to underatand

that the polley of stttngent economy advocated by the

Assembly would render It almost impossible to esk for a

grant to the Disester Fund, and that the Aeeembly could

hardly oaea a resolution without some token of practical

sympathy.

In these clroumstenoes, Dr.Maneen came to the oon-

oluslon, with great regret, thet It weuld be undesirable

to prooeed with the proposal.

Tours sincerely,

In the circumstances I venture te suggest that it v/ould be d«nimble to ask for the production of the cheque, in the hope that some olue may be disclosed regarding the payee.

It le, I think, unneoeuBtiry for ne to phaslae onoe mere that the question in no way ooneerne this ueotlon, and tag helping to olear up the difficul­ty must not In any way imply responsibility.

Mr. Wladlmir .enslnoff,Voreltiender dee Mlfverelne fttr polltleohe

•Qefangene und Verbaante in Rueeland, Innebruekerstrasee 6,

rOctober I3th,I9E4.

Dear Mr.Ford,

X fs-1 sure that In view of your wide Interests the

Russian problem hae not escaped your attention, and that you

arc well aoquainted with the oonditione whlofc have prevailed

in Russia for the past six yeare. I have, been High Soumission

er for Refugees einoe I92I, and thla tesk, together with

my Famine relief work In Ruesla, has brought me into olose

oonteot with the real conditions In that oounliy.

,*» It was quite evident to me from ray first Journey to

Russia that tho whole question of ita eoonoralo revival was

contingent almost entirely on the revival of its agriculture.

When our relief work wae over! etill had certain

funds available which I used for orgableM# two agricultural

stations, one In the Saratov district, and another In the

Ukraine. We were able to establish faros which were to serve

ae models and afford the surrounding oountry faollltlss for

_ improving their agricultural condition. After more than a

year of work we are struck by the willingness of the Russian

pesssnts to improve their methods of cultivation, espeolel-

ly by the adoption of meohanleel means. I have in my egrl*

cultural stations Swedish, French and Italian traotore. In

addition to eome of your traotore, and we have c o w to the

oonoluelon that, thanke to their simple construction, thslr

moderate consumption and their prloe, jour traotore are the

most eultable for the oountry.

Many enquiries have been made oonoernlng the poeel-

bilitiee ef acquiriag your traotore. It la propoeed by the

Henry Ford, £eq.,Dearborn,

Miohlgen.

IL

peasants to pay B(# of the prlee of the tractors and for ne

to give them credit for the rest against a mortgage on the

harvests. The funds I have In reserve are not suffiolent

to organise thla provision of traotore on the neoessary

large eoale.

I would therefore ask If you oould not consider

the possibility of Interesting yourself In the devAopment

of agriculture In Russia, and facilitate, through our two

stations, the sale of your traotore on the hasls indicated

above. We would take the responsibility of the traotore

onoe Inside Russia and our stations and material, which are

worth more than 100,000 dollars, oould serve as guarantee

for the credit of traotore and spare parte.

The problem of spare parts Is an extremely Im­

portant one, as up to now cultivation by traotor in Russia

has been rendered nearly Impossible, owing to this side of

the problem not having been sufficiently taken into consi­

deration.

I saa sure, that it is not necessary for me to lay

stress on the importante of your action in this matter for

the future of Russia. Only when the country has found some

satisfactory and sound economical baele, especially for

agricultural work, will the politioal development return to

normal oondltlone.

If, ae I sincerely hope, you are willing to oon-

elder my proposals, I believe the beet thing would be for

you to send a representative to discuss the matter with my

aselétant. Dr. E.A. Frick, 4, Tlergartenstrasee, Berlin*

Dr. Prlok le a Swiss subJeet, and has worked with me In Rue-

ela einoe the Inception of my wort in that country.

I should te very grateful If you would kindly

let me have a reply ae soon ae possible as the setter

Is of some urgenoy.

Youre faithfully.

I have already submitted a claim for the repay­ment of Dr. Hansen's return travelling expenses to Berlin and In this olalm appeared an Item of £5 frs for our of pocket expenses in lieu of subsistence allowance for the two travelling days. In previous similar oases Dr. Hansen was allowed the highest rate of subsistence allo­wance whloh. however, he does not now wish to olalm.

Should hov/ever suoh subsistence allowance be claimed. It would amount en this olfjlm to a further 300 frs.

Monsieur Bonnet.

You are probably acquainted with the proposa* attitude of the Frenoh Government towards the R œ e l a n Refugees In France If and when It recognizes the soviet Government*

The attached cuttings will acquaint you more or less with the situation. In brief, the proposals ofthe Frenoh Government appear to be that, in the M M * of its reoognlsiton of the Soviet Government Russian Refugees in Franoe will have to elect between allegiance to the Soviet Government or adoption of Frenoh nationality.

Suoh a procedure would of course most material­ly affect the future work for Russian Refugees and it would be moat desirable for us to have a representative in Franoe as a liaison between the Frenoh Government and the High Commission, in this connection.

M. Anatole Osamanski, a very prominent and realiable Russian, is prepared to act voluntarily in this capacity and Dr. Hansen has requested me to send him a formal letter of appointment. I think, however, that before doing so it would be right and proper for us to ascertaih whether the Frenoh Government sees any objection to suoh an appointment•

Would you therefore be so good as to make en­quiries of the competent authorities afc the Quai d'Orsay on the subject and ascertain whether a letter in the terms of the attached draft would meet the case.

I have now hud an opportunity of examining olouely the matter referred to in your memorandum of the I3th Inot, and, although agreeing mibetantlal- ly to the figures you {UOte, I would point out that the sums charged for the three months of July/Septem- ber, represent not only the otual expenditure for those months hut also expenditure Incurred for preceding months•

I have also looked very carefully into the question of the commitmento of the High Commission for the remainder of the current year and am satis­fied that the sums remaining to our credit are more than sufficient for the purpose.

This» of course, la all written *ery much in the dark as I am unaware of the probable date of your arrival in Berlin nor of your proposed future

Dear Monsieur Reygond,

I was gin(i to see from your letter Bo. 9934 of the 9th inst, that you have euooeeded in obtaining permission for the transfer of 60 Russian refugees from Austria te employment In Franoe.

With reference to the question of the peyment of the transport expenses of these refuses*, I may remind you that the lilgh OoroilBBlon has a small fund at Its disposai for the purpose, providing satisfactory arrangements are made for re-imbursoften* within a rea­sonable period, say 6 months, of suoh an advance.

Similar arrungemants have been made in res­pect of the transport of refugees from Poland, Yugosla­via, Bulgaria and Constantinople to France an* other oou tries, and experience has thùgfcatrae that the most satisfactory way to arrange suoh matters is for seme responsible Russian Organisation suoh as the Red Ofoss or the Zemstvos Committee to take oharge of the details and to guarantee the repayment to the High Conaisalon's

If you can produce some such guarantee in thit; instance, X see no objection In principle to an advance of the necessary transport expenses.

Youre sincerely.
