A SATISFACTORY
AGREEMENT REACHED
FOOD RELIEF DRIVE UNDER WAY
DISPUTE WITH SOVIET
SETTLED.
Important Details, Such As Means Of
Transportation and Location Of Sc
rious Famine Areas, Remain To Be
Worked Out.

Washington.-A satisfactory agree
ment has been reached with the So
Wet authorities at Riga under which
the American Relief Administration
will begin Immediately to fight famine
among the children Of Russia, Secre-
tary Herbert c. Hoover announced.
The agreement, he added, accepts the
conditions demanded by the American
organization for safeguarding the lives
Of relief workers and insuring Ameri-
can control Of food supplies. While
the negotiations have come 10 a sue
cesSful conclusion, the Secretary eX-
planned, II may be day or two before
formal agreement is signed. ImpOr-
tant details, such as means of trans
portation and location of serious fam
mine areas, remain 10 be worked out,
he said, before the final document is
drafted. The work Of food relief In Rus
sia will be begun at once, Mr.. Hoover
declared. adding that the New York
office OF the administration already
was preparing vessels to rush supplies
to Danzig for transshipment into Rus
STA. The quantity Of food, however,
that will be needed, IL is understood,
can not be determined until a survey
of Russian famine .itions is made.
1t is expected<Ine supplies will be
the same, - we're used in relief work
anIong the children of Poland and Aus
tria, comprising a lighter and more
easily dig0stfble diet than is necessary
for adults. and probably Including con-
I densed nillk, sugar, pork, hour, cocoa,
beans and rice. 1t is believed kat the
administration can depend upon the
| country for vegetables. A letter from
President Harding indOrsing the effort
to mitis/ te famine in Russia Rnd ask
ing for s-lity of the relief work in one
American organization was made pub
lie by Mr.. Hoover.
MY particular purpose in address
ing this letter TO yOu," the President
said, as 20 emphasize my with that
the distribution in Russia Of all char
ity arising IA the United States should
be carried on through one American
organization. It Is only through single
American representation and admin
istratiOn that we can assure to both
Americans and Russians the best serv-
ice in the use OF their funds. / am
asking the Department Of State to CO
operate in directing that passports
be given for travel in Russia only to
persOn-> who may be in the service of
the American Relief Association.
'1t also is Of Importance that the
American public should be protected
so far as we can do so from those
persons who may wish to thrive on
great disasters by causing unneces-
sary organizations to collect for char
ity." The Presidents letter was trans
mitted by Mr.. Hoover TO the chill
dren's relief organizations, compris
ing the European Relief Council, and
meeting of that body was called ,foI
in the near future to consider joint ar
rangements to be undertaken for Rus
sian administration.
