the disarmament question and other
problems Of the peace treaty, devel-
Oped into a session of much difficulty
From the outset the allies showed an
outwardly united front, with little ap-
parent inclination toward leniency.
Lloyd George especially showed a firm
exterior and even a very peremptory
attitude in dealing with the German
delegates. Indications, however, were
not lacking Of Internal diSsension and
INDIGESTION among the allies. The Ger
mans sought to mitigate the provision

and the reduction of their forces,
Their claim was that internal condj.

fed; also that IN view of recent trou-
bles and the danger of recurrence and
the Russian menace, il was uuWisc to
do so. One stumbling block WAS over
the question of rifles and small arms
which the German soldiers carried to
their homes after the conclusion of the
war, an action abetted by the govern
ment and which, it has been charged
has been utilized by the German au-
thorities as the basis for a big citizen
military organization still very dan.
gerous to the peace of Europe.
Internal friction among the allies
which it was sought to keep hidden
was due to disagreement over a divl-
sion of Preparations and the spells OF
war. Italy, Serbia and Belgium have
each claimed priortes, while the al.
lotments to be made France and Eng
land have for some time constituted a
delicate phase In the relations of those
two countries and has affected the at.
titude toward them of the other al

tum to the effect that Germany must

Announcement by the state depart
meut Of the United States of the lift
ing of trade restrictions with Russia
came unexpectedly. Since Secretary Of
State Colby had stated just before his
departure for San Francisco that no
action was of immediate prospect, ii
is regarded as a recently adopted pol
icy The announcement expressly
states that no recognition Of the soviet
government is implied and that indi-
viduals and corporations trading with
Russia must do so at their own risk
and are not to expect assistance or
protection from consular authorities;
also that the post office department
will be unable to accept mail to soviet
Russia and that goods cannot be for
warded by parcel post. Materials for
war purposes continue under the ban
and the state department will continue
to refuse passports for Russia. The
announcement means in effect that
persons or corporations desiring to
trade with Russia may do so by deal
ing with soviet agents in the United
States or in other countries. The state
department warns American citizens
against the risks incident TO the ac-
ceptance of commodities or other
values which may later be brought In
to question II is explained that the
United States does not recognize the
validity of industrial or commercial
concessions granted by an existing
