RUSSIA AND THE U.N.R.R.A. DELEGATES SIR,—A disturbing part of the
debate on Polish problems was Miss Eleanor Rathbone's statement that the U.N.R.R.A. representatives for liberated Polish territory and for the Czech territory had not yet received permits front the Russian authorities. There does not seem to be any information in the Press as to the granting of these permits. Deep anxiety as to the meaning of this delay or refusal must be felt in this country. Why do we generally approve our Prime Minister's journey- ings? Because they are a policy—" meet, communicate, understand." And the practical, day-to-day problems that U N.R.R A. must deal with are the right basis for understanding One would say -(with the deepest respect) to the Russian authorities—what Tolstoi said to Gorki—" But
you cannot get round this by silence."—Yours, &c., H. B. Leasick, Hertingfordbury, Hens.
