CONTROL OF FOOD

RUSSIAACREED TO
Conclusions Were Reached in Ne
gOtiations i'm Which Walter
Brown Took Part
fey The AssoeIated Press.l

RIGA, Aug. 13.-Control by the Amer
lean relief administration of food distri-
button in the famine districts of Rus
STA was agreed to in principle this after
noon by Maxim Litvinoff, representative
OF the soviet famine relief committee
The agreement was reached in nego-
tiations with Walter Lyman Brown, Euro
pean director OF the American relief adj
ministration which began here Wednes-
day.
Methods of applying American control,
local administration and other details.
were not taken up today. but are TO be
considered at a conference to be held
next week.
Following the conclusion of today's
meeting there appeared to be insurmount-
able obstacle to keep the American relief
administration from working in harmony
with the soviet government and Russian
non-partisan committee on foreign relief.
M. Litvinoff also accepted the proposal
that the American relief administration
be given sanitary control in the famine
districts in order to guard against cholera.
in case such authority is asked He also
guaranteed personal safety and freedom
Of communication to American relief
workers, together with equal priority with
Russian famine relief or lanizations with
regard to transportation. The soviet au-
thorities are to pay transport charges
from ports to interior destinations.
The main point of contest now appears
to bethe apprehension of. the bolsheviki
that the Americans might place active
political opponents to the soviet into posts
where they would control the Russian
committees to whom the work of actual
distribution Of American food would fall.

JAN SHUTS URGES
IRISH LEADERS TO
ACCEPT PROPOSAL
Leave Ulster to Join the South
in Her Own Time as He
Believed She Would
(ey The Associated Press)

LONDON, Aug. 13-Official light upon
the status of the Irish negotiations was
given out by the government for the first
time in the form Of a letter written by
General Jan c. SHUTS, the South African
premier, to Cannon DeYalera, the Irish
republican leader. This letter which is
dated August 4, reveals that Premier
Lloyd George offered the &c Sim Fein
counties complete dominion status" sub
ject to certain strategic safeguards.
1t is also shown by the text of the
letter that Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier, has refused to negotiate with
Mr.. DeYaIera and that Ulster is standing
firm for retaining her present govern
ment.
General SHUTS, however. urged the re-
publican leader to, accept dominion status
and leave Ulster to Join the south in
her own time, as he believed that
through the successful running of the
Irish state and the pull of economic and
peaceful forces Ulster eventually would
be brought into line.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges secretary gave the
letter to the newspapers this afternoon
after a long cabinet meeting. This is
taken as a change of policy, and that it
apparently was issued to bring public
opinion to bear on the Sim Fein, al
though heretofore 1t has been said both
parties were maintaining silence to avoid
embarrassment by partisan discussion Of
their courses.
What was contained in Mr.. DeValera's
letter to the premier still remains mys-
terry. Some of the newspapers maintain
that the republican leader clinss to his
demand for a republic while others are
confident that he merely asked for fur
tfer explanation of the governments poll
icy.

The sale was attended by a large

by builders, who bought stretches Of
