EVERY FACILITY TO
LEAVING TO BE GIVEN

Riga, Letvia, Aug. IL (by the
! Associated Press. 1.-The Russian
soviet government will combat
any attempt to interject political
questions into the Russian famine
relief, but it is sufficiently practi-
cal to see that il the holding OF
Americans in prison is an obstacle
to the feeding of a million Russian
children, it is best that Herbert
Hoover's stipulation in this respect
be granted, Maxim Litvinoff, soviet
special envoy, told American news
paper correspondents here last
night.
In addition to those held in
prison in Russia, declared the So
Wet envoy, every facility to leave
would be given by the soviet gov
ernment to any Americans in the
country, even to the extent of ad-
vertising for them In the news
papers.
"Mr. Hoover has stipulated that
all Americans imprisoned in Rus
sia should be released" the soviet
representative continued. ''They
have been kept in prison for cer-
tain reasons and some of them
have been accused of grave Of
fenses against the government. One
Kalmatiano even had been con-
demned to DEATH"

official soviet organ of Riga, has
said that Kalamtiano Zone of the
prisoners who came out of Russia
this weekly had been condemned
in connection with a plot to organ
ize a military mutiny against the
soviet government in 1918.
"Still," said M. Litvinoff, ''the
soviet government was sufficiently
practical to see that If this was an
obstacle to feeding 100000 chill

be fulfilled. I realize that this
condition is of some Importance to
America, but certainly If 1t were
only a question of Russian internal
affairs, our attitude would be quite
different"

UPPER S|LES|AN
QUESTION To Be
LEFT To LEAGUE
Harvey Tells Council That
America Feels Question Is
Purely European One; No
Trouble Expected.
(By The Associated Press.)

Paris, Aug. ~ (by the Associat-
ed Press,)-France and Great Bri-
tain have decided to refer the Up
per Silesian question to league of
nations, it was announced here to-
day. This question, which in
wolves drawing frontier line be-
tween Poland and Germany in Up
per Silesia. threatened yesterday
to bring about break in the
meeting of the supreme allied
council.
Col. George Harvey. American
ambassador to Great Britain, told
the council this morning that the
United States government had
thought from the beginning that
the Upper Silesian question was
purely a European one and as it
was now to be referred to the
league of nations, on which the
United States was not represented,
he thought he would be interpret
ing the view of his government by
not participating in the decision to
refer the question to the league.
On the question Of additional
allied troops for Upper Silesa, the
supreme council adopted in princi-
pie a plan for sending reinforce
ments after the league of nations
has handed down its decision on
the Silesian question, Great Bri-
tain, Italy and France each to
send its share. Meanwhile, the SUI
preme council is sending warning
to the German and Polish govern
ments that order must be MAIN
tained in the disputed territory.
Mr.. Lloyd George expressed the
opinion today that there would be
no trouble in the upper Silesian
district provided the high commits
sioners were instructed to show
strict impartiality.
The council at its sessions early
this week decided the sending of
was not necessary
for the time being.
In turning over the entire ques-
tion to the league, the supreme
council has requested the leagues
council "to consider the matter as
of the utmost urgency and to make
its report at the earliest time pos
sible."
Just before Mr.. Lloyd George
left the council, Solicitor General
Pollock and Commander Talcott,
the British delegates to the trials
Of persons accused of war crimes
which were tried by the German
court at Leipsic, appeared before
The council and presented their re-
port, advocating dropping further
inquiry into the matter.
The report, which had been COM
to Mr.. Lloyd George
last night. stated that it was con-
sidered justice had been done at
the Leipsic trials as regarded the.
English cases, with the exception
hat the sentences were too lenient
In one % two instances but that
Justice had not been done in the
French and Belgian cases.
The council requested the al
lied representatives to make re-
ports to their governments what
attitude they Judged the allied
should adopt toward the
German court.

DISPOSITION OF RICH REGIONS
OF UPPER SILESIA POSTPONED
SEVERAL MONTHS BY COUNCIL
Resolution of Supreme Council Admonishes
Poland and Germany to Keep Quiet Pending
Settlement of Issue; Harding May Have the
Final Voice in the Matter.
(BY THE ASSOCIATED pREss.) }

Paris, Aug. 12 (by the Associated
Press The disposition of the
lrich regions Of Upper Silesia, which
has disturbed the peace of mind of
Europe since the signing of the
treaty of Versailles. is postponed
for several months by the action of
the inter-allied supreme council
today in requesting the council of
the league Of nations to study the
|subject and advise upon the fixing
Of a line separating Germany and
Poland.
The text Of the resolution asking
the council Of the league to aid in
settling the question was drawn so
as to avoid the appearance of ar
bitration, which is not provided for
in the treaty of Versailles. The
resolution follows:
'The supreme council before
rendering its decision upon the
Upper Silesian frontier between
Germany and Poland conformable
with article eighty-eight of the
treaty of Versailles, decides, pur-
suant to article eleven. paragraph
two, of the covenant of the league
OF natlonS TO submit to the council
of the league of nations the diff
eulties attending the fixing of the
frontier and to invite the recon-
mendations the council as to
the line that the principal allied
and associated powers should lay
down.
THE council OF the league of an
tions Is requested to regard the
matter as one Of great urgency in
view of the situation in Upper ST.
lesia."
The resolution was so drawn
that the council of the league may
not decide the question at issue,
but David Lloyd George and Aris-
tide BRAND, respectively, the Brit
ish' and French premiers, pledged
themselves in the supreme coun-
ell meeting today to accept the ad-
vice of the league of nations. 1t
was remarked formally in the su-
preme council that the council Of
the league could hardly make any
recommendation in less than three

(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 12.-The
American valuation plan of as
sessing duties on imported mer-
chandise with notifications and
limitations proposed by republican
members Of the senate finance
committee, was accepted today al
a joint conference of the house
ways and means committee and
the program will be recommended
to the senate as part of the per-
manent tariff bill.
An attempt also was made at
the conference to determine
whether the next tariff law would
contain a dye embargo. Although
no formal action was taken, it was
indicated that the republican lead
ers would provide high protective
rates for the dye industry but
probably would not favor the sug-
gested three-year embargo. A
joint committee composed of SEN
ators Smoot of Utah and Dilling-
ham OF Vermont, and Represents
tives Longworth Of Ohio, and
Frear of Wisconsin, was named to
study the rate question.

mittee republicans, experts said,

by the experts and accepted by the
Joint conference, ad valorem du-
ties would be assessed on the ba-
sis of the American wholesale SELL
ing price on all imports where
comparable and competitive arti-
cles of domestice manufacture are
found. This provision, 1t WAS be-
lieved, would apply to about rs
per cent of all imports.
Where no comparable and com
petitiev made American article is
found, the duty would be assessed
on the American wholesale selling
price of a comparable and compet-
tive imported commodity.
In event no such basis exists,
then the duty would be levied on

necessary expenses to an Ameri-
can port and O. reasonable profit,
totaling not less than 16 per cent
OF the articles value.

duction cost, plus the necessary
expenses of laying the shipment
down in America.

washington Aug. IL
President Harding has defi-
nitely designated Secretary
Hughes to head the American
delegation at the disarmament
conference and has placed in
his hands the task oe arrang-
ing all remaining details of
the meeting. Other members of
the delegation have not been
selected.
Washington, Aug. 12 (by the AS
sociated Press) ANY expectation
the President Harding Wilt himself
act as a delegate to the disarma-
ment conference was overthrown
today by the White House an
nouncement that he had definitely
designated Secretary Hughes of
the state department to head the
American delegation.
1t was said that other members
were yet to be chosen. although
the president Is known to have
list of those he considers available
and may reach the point of other
definite selections in the near fu-
ture.
He is understood to have decided
that at least one of the places shall
go to United States senator and
the choice of a woman as a MEM
ber of the delegation still is within
the range of possibilities. The
exact role to be played by the pres
ident never has been officially de-
fined, but the general expectation
Is that after delivering the open
ing address of the conference No
vember IL. he will remain in the
background of the negotiations,
leaving direct contact with the for
eign commissioners to his accred-
tied representatives, but at the
same time keeping in close touch
with them ana with all the pro-
ceedings of the conference.
BY this coure Mr.. Harding will
be in a position similar to that of
President Poincare of France,
wffen he opened the Versailles con-
ference and then retired from ac-
tual participation in the proceed
ings. President Harding's close
advisers are said to feel that by
keeping away from details of the
disarmament discussions he can
reserve his efforts for the more
important features and be so
placed as to act as mediator for all

ment that might threaten the sue
