ELABORATE PLANS
WORKED OUT FOR
TRADE WITH REDS
Russians at Paris Explain De-
tails of Blockade lifting by
Allies and Predict Success
Without Difficulty.

PARIS, Jan. 21--Elaborate plans for
the resumption of commercial relations
between the Russian people and allied
nations have been worked out and it is
expected the Bolsheviki will permit the
free interchange of manufactured goods
and raw materials.
1t will be a comparatively simple mat
ter to distribute goods among the Rus
sian people under the agreement an
nounced last Friday by the supreme
council, II is said by Russians who as
sisted in the negotiations that preceded
the announcement. Surplus stocks Of
wheat. flax and lumber await export
from Russia, and all that is needed is
ocean tonnage to carry these products
to the markets of the world
Details of the plan TO be followed were
given the Associated Press by Alexa..
der NJ Berkenheim and Constantln krc-
vopouskoff respectively, president and
member Of the foreign board of the
Russian Cooperative union, through
which trade will be carried on. They
conducted the negotiations with the
supreme council which brought about
the adoption Of a policy reversing that
followed by the allies during the last
two years.
at must be understood the agree
ment has no political character whatso-
ever" said NJ. Berkenheim, 1T is
merely an economic, financial and hui
manitarian arrangement, Russian CO.

ago. now number 500 branches and have
so, 900 local societies with 25,00O,oOO
members. These societies operate
throughout Russia, whether under Boil

ernments. II is a sort of Russian eco
nomic Red Cross
IN February, 1919, we laid before the
British foreign office and also before
the secretary Of Premier Lloyd George
our plan for the exchange OF Russian
raw material for manufactured goods
from allied countries. M Krovopous-
koff and myself were summoned last
week before the supreme council, where
the plan was adopted.
This plan is very simple. We have
in Russia great stocks of wheat cereals,
cattle and flax which, owing to the
complete suppression Of expectation
during the last few years and the record
crop of 1919, are now larger than Rus
STA ever disposed OF previous TO the
war.
I'VE require in return, farming and
agricultural implements cloth. shoes, To-
comotives, motors, automobiles and
medical supplies. Ship tonnage must be
furnished by the allies as Russia s ship

err this tonnage had been promised by
Great Britain,

Says Prohibition
 is Vital Problem

Chicago, Sept. 2O.-Aaron S. Wat kins, prohibition party candidate for president, tonight declared that the liquor question "still was the most vital problem before the American people," urged support for Lea que of nations, but mot the Wilson league" and advocated a "fair trib- unal with the public represented on it, to settle disputes between capital and labor"
 "There has been a great deal of misunderstanding concerning the League of Nations," said MT. Wat kins. N"The arguments against lea que are very much the same as those used hundred years ago against the adoption of the constitution of the United States. We don't want the Wilson league--the plan of 'Pike's Peak or bust with no reser- vations-but we do want some sort of federation of nations" Concerning prohibition, MT. Wat kins said:
 "The greatest question of the year is destruction of the liquor traffic. The mere passage of law has not settled it. We must have a presi- dent pledged to rigid enforcement of the law and pledged to it's veto."

Millerand to

Paris, Sept. 20.-Premier Mile rand's acceptance as a candidate for the presidency has virtually solved the presidential crisis as it is con- ceded that his election is foregone conclusion. He would receive more than 70Q votes, no other candidate of ficially entering the field. The pre- mier's opponents have decided to re- frain from voting.
 The question iuppermost in discus sion at present is the formation o1 the new cabinet to replace that head ed by M. Millerand. At least two ministers of the Millerand cabinet are slated to go. M. Briand probably will become minister of foreign af- fairs, with M.

Appeals Made to

 The committee, which came as the representatives of Chicago confere- nee of producers, packers and bankers prediced dire consequences to the live stock inqustry unless bankers and cattle loan companies discontinue "calling" loans. They said millions of dollars in loans were maturing this fall and they believed a reas- surance from the board that it ap- proved of such credit extention by the banks would lessen the difficulties.
