Now these countries and United States experts are getting together on plans to grow hemp on the abandoned plantations. This is a good example of smart Good Neighbor cooperation. We hope the experiment succeeds. British War Relief The annual report of the British War Relief Society of the United States shows what an immense rand useful enterprise it has become. Receipts since the inception of the organization have now reached $16,256,625, which is more than the contributions to all other American-British relief organizations com- bined, an overhead expense of only 7.99 percent. :va'xnan bombs are not now falling on London Ameri- can relief is no longer needed in England.
