President Harding and Director Cen
eral Davis of the railroad administers

relief Of the railroads. the President
last week presented 1t to congress in
a message and asked for legislative
action. Briefly he urged that the War

congress to purchase about S500,O0O,-.

railroad administration as evidence Of
the railroad debts To- the government,
the railroad administration then to APP
ply the purchase price against claims
which the roads have against the gov
eminent, thus giving the roads funds
that they greatly need. "There is no
thought TO ask congress for additional
funds" said Mr.. Harding "No added
expense. no investment is required on
the part Of the government; there Isl
no added liability, no added tax bur-
den"
Less definite was the part of the
message asking congress to approvel
assistance TO farmers and cattle men.
But his plan here too rests on added
authority for the War Finance COR
poration, and later Senator Kellogg

Acceptance by Japan Makes
Way Clear for the Confer
enCe in Washington
SlESIA CRISIS PASSING
France and Britain Reach Agreement
and Germany Is Warned-Hard-
lng's Plan for Financial Relief
OF Railroads, Farmers - d
Cattle Rasers.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

With a mind not yet quite at ease
In the matter Japan has sent word
that she will accept President Hard
ing's invitation to the Washington
conference to discuss limitation of
ornaments and questions of the Pa
ciiic and the Far East. But this is to
be with certain reservations. These
are expressed in the closing part of
Tokyo's latest note to Washington,
which reads:
"The Japanese government have
been made aware through the com
munications and the published state
ment of the American government and
the conversations between the secre-
tary Of state and Baron Shdehara
that the proposition of the American
government to discuss the Pacific and
Far Eastern problems Is based on the
close bearing they may have on the
question of limitation of ornaments
which Is the original and principal aim
Of the conference, and that, therefore,
the main object Of discussing these
problems is to reach n common under
standing In regard to general prlnci-
pies and policies in the Pacific and Far
East.
I'm order to insure the success of
the conference the Japanese govern
ment deem 1t advisable that the
agenda thereof should be arranged I'm
accordance with the main object of the
discussions as above defined, and that
introduction therein of problems such
as are OF sole concern to certain par
ticular powers, or such matters as
may be regarded accomplished facts.
should be sCrupulously avoided"
OF course, among what Japan con
siders accomplished facts" are the
cession of Shantung to Japan and the
zap mandate. But our State depart
ment is confident the japanese can be
satisfied in the drawing up Of the
agenda for the conference, and there
fore Is now preparing the formal IN
vitations TO the powers.
There is a chance that some Of the
British domlnIons, which consider
themselves fulI-hedged nations I'm most
respects, will kick up a little trouble
because the British empire Is to be
represented ms a unit, with only one
vote. Australia already is wailng that
she is entitled TO a vote as nation
on the Pacific problems. Probably
New Zealand, and possibly Canada
feel the same way. Rene VIvlani and
Albert Sarrault minister Of colonies,
are to represent France at the con-
ference; and Premier BRAND also may
come.
No decided opposition to holding the
conference In Washington has devel-
oped, but the date Of It's opening re-
mains to be settled. The United States
tentatively mentioned November IL,
Armistice day, because II would he
sentimentally suitable, but again the
British dominons protest Many of
their legislative bodies are I'm session
during the fall months, and as their
premiers wish 20 be present MT the
conference, they are urging that a
later date be selected for It's assem-
bling. 1t may be they can be satisfied
by preliminary informal consultations
between Pacific powers which VIII en-

Trotzky and their soviet crew are
themselves in hard straits due TO the
rapid spread Of famine and cholera
IN Russia They have appealed loud
ly for help, but the governments they
have so long fouted are deaf to their
calls. Even the United States, al
ways generous in response to the walls
of the suffering has told the soviet
government, through n note from Sec
rotary Hoover, that any relief meas
mes would depend largely on the
treatment Of the Americans held prls-

enforced by a note from the State de-
partment formally and CURLY demand
ing the release Of those prisoners, and
the soviet rulers already had been told
there would be no consideration Of
closer relations with Russia until the
Americans were set free.
The distress IN Russia IS such that

RELIEF CHIEF IS
ORDERED TO RIGA
Hoover Acts in Effort to Feed
Starving Russians.
FOOD TO START AT ONCE
Walter Lyman Brown, European Di-
rector of American Relief Work,
Goes to Letvia City to Negoti-
ate With SoVets.

Washington, Aug 1.-The soviet
government has agreed to release all
Americans held prisoner, according to
cablegram received by Secretary Of
Commerce Hoover. Consequently the
work of extending relief to the famine
and cholera-stricken people of Russia
will be started at once, Secretary
Hoover announced Mr.. Hoover is
acting in this matter as head of the
American relief commission.
Notification that the soviet govern
ment had agreed to the terms set
down in Mr. HOover's recent communi-
cation to Maxim Gorky was contained
in a cablegram from KamenOff, chair
man of the all-Russian central eXecu-
tive relief committee 1t was forward
ed to Mr.. Hoover by Mr. Gorky. The
text follows:
Il have submitted your proposal to
the soviet government, seeing that the
soviet gvernment alone can discuss the
conditions therein. / have received
from the soviet government the follow
ing reply for transmission to you:
Soviet Governments Reply.
1.-THE Russian government has ac-
quainted itself with the proposal of
Mr., Hoover made in the name of the
American relief administration, and
find this proposal quite acceptable as
to a basis, including the release of the
American prisoners. The Russian gov
eminent considers it desirable as soon
as possible to fix the precise conditions
upon which this association will begin
immediate relations of its l.umane in
tentions to guarantee the feeding,
medical treatment and clothing of mill
lions of invalids and children. For
that purpose the Russian government
would consider it useful that Director
Brown, or another person directed
with full powers, should carry out ne
gotiations and Immediately come to
Moscow, Reval or Riga. The Russian
soviet government awaits a speedy re-
ply as to the place and date of these
negotiations
Brown Ordered to Riga.
Following the receipt of the fore
going cablegram Secretary Hoover inn
mediately cabled Walter Lyman
Brown, European director of the
American relief administration at Lon
don, as follows:
GAS to cable forwarded through you
TO Mr.. Gorky on July 20, would be glad
if you would proceed at once to Riga.
1t is, of course, to be assumed that the
prisoners will have been delivered ont
of Russia, as demanded by the State
department, before you open discus
sions. You will recognize that such a
course is the most primary evidence
of willingness to secure life and lib
erty of our staff. You will please ad-
wise Messrs. Gorky and Kameneff.'
Discussing proposed relief meas
ures, Secretary Hoover said there Will
be no necessity for public appeal for
funds or supplies. Asked what sup
plies are available, he said:
"They are in the form of reserve
cash. The European needs for next
wi 4er will determine what surplus is
available"
Food shipments from Danzig, Mr.
Hoover said, could begin Immediately
upon an agreement with the Russians.
