 BRINGS NEW PROBLEM
Transport Disorganized and Foreign Traders Reluctant to Accept
 Paper Money
By Associated Press

London, January 17.-Representa- tives here of Russian cooperative or ganizations are eagerly awaiting ad- vices as to how the allied decision to partially raise the Russian blockade win be made effective Although the official statement setting forth the allied decision indicates trading be- tween private firms and individuals is still under the ban, the importance of the ruling may be appreciated when 1t IS stated the cooperative societies, which alone are affected. in recent years have become the chief medium for the distribution of goods to the Russian peasants.
 Ten of these organizations having offices in London claim to represent the interests of upwards of 50,000,00o peasants.
 It Is believed in some quarters the lifting of the ban on the vast ac- emulation of Russian produce mar keting export may have far-reach- ing effect on prices in the world s markets. The agent of the Central Russian Flax Association declared to- day the latest advices from his prin- cipals stated that upward of 10000 tons of flax was ready for export in exchange for sorely needed manufac- tured goods. Prevailing prices will make this accumulation worth upwards of l2 ,000,0 900 pounds sterling, in addi- ton to which there are bumper crops of other commodities awaiting export, representing enormous buying powers.

AGREE TO CHANGES

Several changes in language of the minor reservations discussed today were agreed to tentatively. it was said. Details were withheld under the policy of secrecy adopted, but both republic ans and democrats expressed satisfac- ton with the progress made. Both factions, however, also emphasized that the work of the conferences was tenta- tive, subject to approval by the body of republican and democratic sena- tors favoring ratification.
 Leaders on both sides said little progress had been made in the prelim- mary discussion recently of the res- ervations affecting Article x and the Monroe doctrine. Republican leaders. including those of the mild reserva- tion'' faction. appeared as insistent af ever that there be no change in the principles of these reservations. Some of the democrats in the conference were said to indicate a disposition to meet the republicans demands on these reservations. but the attitude of Sena- tor Hitchcock, administration leader, in demanding radical notifications, was understood to be unchanged.
