Moscow, Aug. 27.-(By Associated be vastly greater than the task of teeding the millions in tho famine stricken districts of the country. It would seem to be rather a question of conserving the productive resources of this district, which has in the past been known as "the granary of Eu- rope"
 This was the view taken of the sit uation yesterday by Leo Kameneff, head of the Russian famine commits sion who outlined the work to be done to relief workers here.

The only way to save Russia from lmpend- ing disaster is to take grain from the hungry and give it to the starving"
 Grain Needed.
 The amount of grain needed for seeding the 17,500,0OO acres to be sown this fall approximatel 27O,O0O tons, of which Russia could furnish only 162 900, M. Kemenoff said This area is about the same as was planted in this country in 1920 but is only half the pre-war acreage.

BEWARE DISARMAMENT
Japanese Editorial Hints That Jeal- ousies May Arise If Delicate Qucs- tions Are Brougt Up at Conference,

Tokio, Aug. 4.-(Correspondence ot the Associated Press. )-If it is the in tention of America to extend the dis cussion of the Pacific and Far East eIn questions to various delicate prob iems in the forthcoming Washi~ gton conference on disarmament and Pa clfic affairs, it is clear that the pro- ccedings of the conference will be come complicated and the suspicion and jealousy among the powers will be intensified instead of being allayed, says the conservative Jiji in an edi- toriaI. It continues:
 Such an outcome would be con- trary to the object for which the con- ference is to be convened, and it should be avoided as far as possible In short the successful handling oi tl e Washington conference will rest with the United States, as it will de- pend on the way in which the sub- jccts for debate are to be introduced in the conference"

IRISH SITUATION
 HAS DARK CLOUDS
Can't Withdraw From British
 Empire Says Lloyd George
WARNS AGAINST DELAY
Situation is At a Critical Point Which Calls For Cool Heads On Both Sidcs-Trucc May Be Broken At Any Time.

London, Aug. 27.-Ireland cannot
 be permitted to withdraw from the
 British empire. This is the out
 standing feature of the note sent to
 Dublin yesterday by Prime Minister
 Lloyd Gebrge following considera-
 tion by the cabinet of the whole Irish
 situation. Mir. Lloyd George de-
 clared he would be glad to continue
 negotiations with Ramon De Valera
 but warned the Irish leaders that a
 needless prolongation of the cOnver-
 sations might wreck the chance of
 an agreement and terminate the truce.
 Newspapers Approve.
 Newspapers today generally ap- proved of the premier's reply, and expressed satisfaction that MT. Lloyd George had declared he was willing to continue negotiations The Morning Post, which maintained the old coll servative view, urged the Sim Fein leaders to recognize the unalterable stand for union which had been | made by the government, and advised that terms be reached on that basis MT. DeValera was told that he was discussing the situation in the Spfrlt or an 'lnpraCClcdDle QOCtraln- aire."
 rDc Valera Must Descend' Until MT. DeValera descends to
 earth from the cloudy heights" the newspaper continued, mo progress is possible. He haf; assured Great Britain he has not the slightest de- sire to renew hostistiest and that not a shot will be fired unless the Sim Fein wills it, but it is doubtful if, otherwise, he correctly interprets | the opinion of the majority of his | followers. It might be suggested | that if the refusal of the Dail Fire | ann to accept the British offer wal:
 submitted to the decision of the Irish people. it would not be indorsed.' At Critical Point.
 "The time has passed" said the l London Times, when the reitera ton of the differences between the
 English and Irish viewpoints can
 serve a useful purpose. The time
 has come when, if there is to be peace, these differences must be
 taken for granted. When the Sinr
 Fein understands this fact the hou, flor further negotiation will have arrived"

BUSINESS AS USUAL | WITH THE GERMANS
American and TeutOn Firms Not
 to Wait for Ratification
|CAN SIGN CONTRACTS NOW
Berlin Startcs That People Want to Trade With U. s. and Have Already Begun Signing Contracts and Es- tabiishinS Time Credit Notes.

Berlin, Aug. 27, (By Associated Press) American and German busi- ness firms will resume peace time re- lations immediately without waiting for ratification of the treaty signed here on Thursday, it is said in we'll informed industrial circles of this city. It is anticipated that commer- cial treaties will be negotiated and that& consular services will be re- constructed within brief period Spanish diplomatic representatives here, who have been in charge of American interests since February 3, 1917, will continue their duties in this respect.
 Like Peace Terms.
 The establishment of credit loans and preparations to ship into the American market surplus products of Germany such as newsprint paper oc- cupy the attention of industrial lead CTS here. Satisfaction over the sim plicity and straightforwardness of the American treaty is generally ex- pressed in commercial circles where belief is expressed that the same ''reasona bleness' will characterize the United States in later negotiations. Doesn't Expect Too Much. "Germany had slight reason to ex- .pect anything from America and, hence, we fared better than we ex- pected," declared commercial lead CT yesterday. The United States makes numerous reservations and in- sists upon the advantage ges which ac- Crue to America by virtue of the Treaty of Versailles, but we will con- tinue to act frankly on the suppo- sition that, although insisting upon 100 per cent of the Versailles treaty, the United States probably will de- mand the actual execution of less than 50 per cent of the treaty's pro- visions"
 Accepted As Presented. | We accepted the treaty virtually as presented" it was stated by a government official during the day. We put faith in the sense of jus tice of the United States. The idea was to get peace as quickly as pos sible and we asked for no specific assurances and only few interpella- tions in the draft of the treaty as presented by Ellis Loring Dresel, U s. commissioner here.
 l Business Benefited Immediately.
 Business will be benefited imme- diately. Under the technical state of war which existed, business men hesi- tated to engage in contracts with alien enemies. There was nothing agreed relative to commercial treaties nor the personnel of the German mis- sion sent to the United States, but we will send our ablest men. It is improbable, however, that a repre- sentative of large industrial or ommercial interest will head the delegation going to Washington for fear that there may be some doubt as to his impartiality during the ar [rangement of commercial agree ] ment."
 Over Private Property.
 Asked if he expected the ratifca- ton of the treaty to result in the release of private property held ir the United States the official said:
 Under the treaty of 1928 the in- violaibility of private property was secured, even in the case of war. l do not see how America could do
