He states that Eastern Europe is sufficiently supplied with coal, and even able to send supplies to relieve the crisis in the West.

It has been decided to send a mission to Poland and Upper Silesia to investigate, with a view to intensifying production.

The conference accepted the advice and drafted a telegram to the Inter-Allied Mission instructing it accordingly, but decided to defer its dispatch for 24 hours. Mr. Hoover also censored Roumania's attitude. He declared that her professions of readiness to comply with the Council's demands were insincere; that she persisted in removing food, and instigated the Archduke Joseph's accession to office.
