America to Give Help
To Famine Victims Now

RIGA, Aug. 12.-walter L. Brown,
European director Of American re-
lief, has received instructions tc
proceed with the negotiations with
Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet commits
sioner, without waiting for the ar
rival of the remainder of the
Americans now in Russia. -Four
Americans, two of whom were
women, arrived at Reval this after
noon and others are said to be on
the way.
The relief officials declared to Lit
vinoff that Keely, the engineer who
has been held in Russia for MANY
months. and twenty other Ameri-
cans whose names are known to the
State Department, can easily be To-
Gated, and that the relief commits
sion will afford every assistance to
this end. providing the transporta-
tion and other things needed to
bring them safely out Of Russia.
VIII Not Delay.
Brown told Litvinoff that h.
could not continue the negotiations
until satisfactory information had
been received that these twenty-one
Americans were on their way to the
frontier, although he. would not de-
lay action until they were actually
across the border.
Litvinoff promised immediate ac-
ton and declared that he was
anxious to go to Reval as soon as
possible, and therefore was anxious
to have the principal agreement
closed
Instructions from Washington
that Brown was to proceed with the
negotiations was taken as indicat-
ing the belief that the Soviet will
live up to its promises to permit and
assist all Americans in the country
to leave Russia at once.

Payment of s5o0.oOo.o0o to the

probably will be delayed for sew
eral months, as the result OF Senate
developments yesterday. Senate
leaders predict the measure could
not be passed this session, and in
formed President Harding that it
cannot be enacted in the near fu-
ture. Hope of rushing It through
before the Congressional recess has
been definitely abandoned by SEN
ator Watson, who also does not
believe 1t can be passed this session.
Bill Meets stfn Opposition.
Radical differences over the form.
and, to some extent, the principle
of the measure. exist between the
President and some Republican
Senator's. In addition, most of the
Democrats. backed by Senator La
Toilette. are violently opposed to
the bill. and more than powerful
enough to delay it for a long time.
Increased OPPOSITION also has arisen
in the House..
Yesterdays meeting of the SEN
ate Interstate Commerce Committee
was enlivened by clash over
whether William C. McAdoo should
be called to give his views on the
bill. Republican members, with the
exception of La Toilette, opposed
more hearings, but decision on the
matter was postponed until next
Tuesday.
Accusations of squanderins.
La Toilette is demanding thar
witnesses be called to testify re,
garding alleged "squandering of
railroad earnings since private con-
troll" They are neither in a con-
dition of necessity, nor are they
entitled to ask for a government
bounty" he said.
The White House last night is
sued a statement pointing out the
advantages that will accrue from
the recent reduction of III cents a
hundred pounds on export grain
from Chicago to New York. Predic-
tion was made that this change
would enhance the value of grain
to the farmer. and that other re-
ductions would follow.
Promises Rate Reduction.
The statement declares the ad-
ministration's program to aid the
railroads was based on "the rail-
roads relinquishing their so-caned
labor inefficiency claims and un-
dertaking to inaugurate reductions
in export grain rates. while the ad-
ministration undertook to assist
them by securing early settlement
of their claims against the govern
ment"
These reductions in rates." the
statement continues, with the ar
rangements for financial assistance
to export trade and the assurances
that Europe is going to need extra
ordinary quantities of American
foodstuffs, constitute altogether a
Justification for strong hope thar
the tendency in the agricultural
markets will for some time be de-
cidedly toward better prices.
