The Belgians had shown great initiative, patriotism and ability in building up the great organisation of the Comite National. Hoover and his associates never had any desire to interfere in purely domestic problems or to criticise Belgian methods. They desired only to have such control over the distribution as would make it possible for them to give assurances to the Allies that all was well and thereby to make possible the indefinite continuation of imports. The chief significance of the Commis...sion, and most of its difficulties, arose because of the fact that it was a diplomatic compromise, not only in the beginning but throughout the whole of its activities. As a tremendous business organisation it had to carry on its work in a way satisfactory to Powers that were struggling with each other for fife and death. It was only Mr. Hoover's ingenuity in persuading or bullying the various Powers into making the concessions demanded by the other groups that made possible the con- tinuance of relief work.
