SEND DIsARM BID TO FIVE
President Harding Invites Britain,
France, Italy, Japan and China
to Conference November II.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Formal invi-
tations were sent to Great Britain,
France, Italy, Japan and China to
attend the conference on disarmament
and Far Eastern questions at Wash
ington November IL.
The invitations are Identical and
brief, except to China. They will be
sent directly to the foreign Office and
copies handed to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the powers here.
The communications place no linn
itation on the scope of the discussion
to be had.
1t is suggested however, that the
question of naval ornaments "may
naturally have first place." though 1t
has been thought best not to exclude
questions pertaining to other arma-
ment from the subjects to be consid-
cred by conferees.

HARDING, ST., WEBS GIVE IN TO HOOVER
Politics Not to Enter Into Plans

Every Facility to Leave the Country
Will Be Given Americans, Says
Maxim Litvinoff.

Riga, Letyia, Aug. 15.-The Russian
soviet government will combat any at
tempt to interject political questions
into the Russian famine relief, but
it Is sufficiently practical to see that
If the holding of Americans in prison
is an obstacle to the feeding Of q
million Russian children, it is best that
Herbert Hoover's stipulation in this re-
spect be granted, declared Maxim Lit
vinoff, the soviet special envoy, here,
M. Litvinoff made this explanation
Of the Russian negotiations with the
American relief administration in talk
ing with the American newspaper cor
respondents. He reviewed the famine
situation to them and explained the
situation from the Russian viewpoint
In addition to those held in prison
in Russia, declared the soviet envoy,
every facility to leave would be given
by the soviet government to any Amer
leans in the country, even to the ex-
tent of advertising for them in the
newspapers. Obviously the govern
ment could not undertake to locate
them all, however, he added, as even
the list the American government had
prepared was probably inaccurate, and
in many cases the names bore no adj
dresses.
A telegram was sent to Moscow by
him suggesting that all Americans
whose addresses could easily be
learned be rounded up Immediately
and given an opportunity to leave
Russia as guaranty of the good faith
Of the soviet government in it's desire
to permit every American to quit Rus
STA who desired to do so.
