A consignment of clothes which was sent by the Federation of Polish Jews in Canada has been included in a shipment of commodities and medicaments which the Polish Government has sent to the Soviet Union, for use by Polish citizens released from Russian exile under the terms of the recent Polish-Russian pact, it was disclosed here today.

In announcing that the first shipment to Russia had already been dispatched, Gen. Sikorski, Premier of the Polish Government-in-Exile, speaking to Polish troops stationed in Scotland, said: “I can assure those of you who have relatives in Soviet Russia that the Soviet Government is willing to be helpful in making their lives easier and more useful.”
