TO RESUME TRADE
WITH RUSSIANS
State Department Issues Order
Modifying the Restrictions
Against Commerce.
no PROTECTION TO TRAVELLERS
The Postal Service Will Not Be Re
sumed and No Passports viii Be
Issued Now.

ashington.-Restricti on trade
with Soviet Russia have been re
moved by the state department, except
ment of material susceptible of imme-
date use for war purposes
An individual export license must
be obtained for the shipment Of such
materials, and it was announced that
such licenses would be granted only
in exceptional cases.
Individual export licenses also will
be required for the export to Russia
of locomotives, railroad material and
rolling stock, and motor cars and COM
ponent parts.
The state departments action, while
taken independently OF other nations,
followed extensive exchanges between
the United States and Great Britain
and France. 1t is believed to have been
fastened by the recent negotiations
between Gregory Krassin, representing
mier Lloyd George, looking to the re-
sumption OF trade between Great Bri-
tain and Russia.
In announcing its action, the state
department took particular pains 10
state that political recognition, present
ment, except insofar as they pertain
exercising or claiming to exercise gov
ernmental functions was neither grant
ed nor intended.
1t also emphasized that individuals
or corporations trading with Russia
would do so on their own responsible
ity and at their own risk, as this gov
eminent could offer no protection to
Americans going to Russia or trading
with Russia.
The statement also was made by the
department that indications were that
Russia had only a small quantity OF
raw materials for export; that its pur-
chasing power was very limited, and
that consequently there would not be
any considerable trade with that cOun-
try.
Requests that the state department
lift the ban on trading with the soviet
have been made by many American ex-
poring and other business firms, and
American government officials long
have desired to remove the restrictions
so that the suffering population might
be aided in spite Of the bOlshiveki.
Fears had been voiced, however, that
whatever went into the country for
that population would be seized by the
bolsheviki and converted to their uses.

SPECIAL SESSION IN VERMONT
After Conference in Washington Gov.
Clement Agrees to Call LegisIa-
ture TO Act on Suffrage.

Acknowledgement Clement Of
Vermont, after a conference here with
Senator Harding, the Republican presi-
Dental nominee, indicated that he
would Immediately call the Vermont
legislature in special session to act
on the federal suffrage amendment
The Vermont governor, while not
stating definitely his course in the suf-
frage matter, was quoted in a state
ment from Senator Harding's office
as saying that he frankly confessed
there was a preponderance of Repub-
Iican advice in favor Of q special ses-
sion called to consider ratification"
Statements were issued by both
Senator Harding and Governor Glenn
ent regarding the conference which
took place at Harding's home.
Senator Harding had the following
to say regarding the conference:
1T gave me an opportunity to say
to Governor Clement that 1 was deep
ly interested in the final disposition
of the question of ratification, and
told the governor frankly that if my
advice were wanted l would be glad
to see Vermont Republicans close up
the great franchise reform. The wom-
en- throughout the nation are deeply
interested in the national campaign,
and the ratification must be closed
soon if they are universally to par
ticipate in the federal election.
would be gratified, of course, to have
Republican Vermont close the gap, but
Governor Clement understands I was
not passing on his authority in giving
him such an opinion in the course Of
our conference"
Governor Clement in his statement
said:
'T have been calling on Senator
Harding, and we discussed the state
of the union agreeably, you can be
sure, and we discussed suffrage rati-
fication by Vermont. Our state Re
publican convention asked me to call
the extra session. Chairman Hays
has urged it on behalf of the national
convention.
Naturally 1 wanted Senator Hard
ings views and he suggested an early
call. Ny reluctance is due to feeling
that Vermont prefers to change the
fundamental laws very deliberately.
We can only change the state constitu-
ton by one direct appeal to the people
and the favorable action of two legis-
Iatures. We are reluctant, therefore,
to ratify by a legislature which was
elected at time when suffrage was
not an issue"

no RELIEF III CAR SHORTAGE
Delegation From Kansas and Missouri
sent to Washington Given No
Promise of Immediate Aid.

Kansas City-No immediate relief
from the car shortage in the south
west is held out by the interstate
commerce commission. according to
the word brought back to Kansas City

ferred with Edgar E. Clark, chairman
OF the commission.
The delegation was particularly
anxious that the commission, at
least, promise an immediate move
ment to market Of last years wheat
crop il Kansas and Oklahoma Ar.
Clark said he could make no definite
promise in the absence Of the other
members of the commission
The delegation was told by Mr.
Clark to submit a brief Of contentious
and it would be considered by the
commission at the earliest opportun-
ity. The brief will be prepared and
submitted within the next few days.

delegation are unable to say.

number of cars furnished on pre-
vious arrangement only 20 per cent

pected this time, if the plan material
ICES That would provide almost
enough cars to move old grain in
the hands of Kansas farmers with no
provision for sixty-five thousand car
loads in country elevators. About
forty thousand cars OF new wheat
from this years harvest fields also
are ready to be moved.
The members OF the delegation are
by no means optimistic. They say
that suitable orders from the inter
state commerce commission are re-
Quired before the situation can be
materially aided.

No evidence of any serious break
could be found in the lines of any of
the three leading candidates until at
ter the thirty-eighth ballor, when
Congressman CarIin announced the
withdrawal of Attorney General Pal
mer and the release of his instructed
delegates. On the next ballots the
Pennsylvania delegation continued to
vote almost solidly for Palmer, but af-
ter that they broke, the majority going
to McAdoo. On the forty-first ballot
the McAdoo forces began to break, and
before the forty-fourth ballot was
completed it was evident that Gov
ernor Cox had won, and a motion to
make the nomination unanimous was
carried with a shout.

have had a fault at all it was this
lack OF leadership that for many weary

the necessary two-thirds to reach an
agreement on the choice of a candi-

The opening of the great gathering
was featureless as always in a politi-
convention of such magnitude. The
audience had locked for fight start
ing with the fall of Vice Chairman
Kremer's gavel, but they were reward
ed with nothing more exciting than the
masterful keynote address OF Homer
Cummings, in which he outlined the
issues on which the Democratic party
would ask the people for support. This
address was devoted almost exclusive
" to the League Of Nations. and its
point was a demand for ratification
without multiplying reservations.
He laid special emphasis on the point

The platform committee had a long,
stubborn fight on it's hands in an
effort to satisfy many opposing ele-
ments. Senator Glass, as chairman
of the resolutions committee, repre-
scented the administration viewpoint
on the League of Nations especially,
and proposed to put through the Vir-
GINA plank. This was acceptable to
practically all delegates except Mr..
Bryan and some of his followers who
could not see the possibility of rati-
fication without radical reservations.
Other planks that caused hours of
discussion referred to the liquor
question, to Ireland, to labor and to
two or three other things. In the
end the committee had to take sew
eral questions to the floor of the con-
Vention, much to the qualification of
the audience and this resulted in an
other oratorical display throughout
all Of the long Friday session. Sen
ator Glass presented the majority re-.
port of the platform committee, Mr..
Bryan presented a minority report

NAME cox AND ROOSEVELT
Democratic National Convention dominates Ohio Governor
and Assistant Secretary of Navy for President
and Vice President

that the president was not opposed
to reservations so long as they did
not seriously change the intent Of the
document. a roll call followed for
the appointment Of the usual conven-
ton committees and the first session
was over. For the next two days the
real activities of the great gathering
was transferred TO the meeting rooms
Of the committees. The committee on
credentials confirmed the action OF the
national committee in seating the Pal
mer delegation from Georgia, and in
unseating Senator Reed of Missouri.
1t had been anticipated that both Of
these contests would be taken to the
floor of the convention but with the
exception of entering a protest on the
action on Senator Reed the contests
provided no entertainment for the au-
dience.
In an effort to make time the rules
committee has recommended that
nominating speeches be in order pre-
ceeding the report of the committee on
platform, and this became the first
order of business for Wednesday. That
was a day of oratory of the good old
fashioned Democratic kind.
The all-day session Of Wednesday
and through the first session Of
Thursday the oratorical lights of the
party extolled the virtues Of the IA
candidates named in either nominal
ing or seconding speeches. With but
one exception the nominating
speeches were made by men, the one
exception was Miss Bessie Dryer, an
alternate from the Philippines, who
presented the name of Governor Fran
els Burton Harrison. Every candidate
whose nomination was seconded at all
had provided for one or more women
as seconders.
The event of the nomination ses-
sions was the presentation of the
name of Mr. McAdoo. It was known
that Mr.. McAdoo had insisted that his
name not be presented to the con-
Vention, and had repeated this wish
by telegraph On Tuesday to Rev.
Burris Jenkins of Kansas City Nc
Adoo delegates were insistent that
the name Of their favorite be pre-
scented regardless of his instructions
but Frank R. Wilson. a former Iowa
newspaper man, the leader of the Nc
Adoo forces, was equally insistent
that the wishes of McAdoo be COM
piled with. In the end Wilson con-
scented to an informal presentation
in which it should be stated that it
was without the consent of the for
mer secretary. and without any elab-
grafton of his qualifications for the
office. Mr.. Jenkins said that while
Mr.. McAdoo was not seeking the NOM
ination, he proposed that Democracy
