BY the Associate ted Press.
RIGA, Letvia, August 13.-Difficulties
arose today in the negotiations begun
here over the draft of an agreement
guaranteeing protection of food supplies
s mt into Russia for famine relief. Maxim
Litvinoff, the soviet representative.
raised a number of objections, both in
principle and details. to the draft pre-
sented by Walter Lyman Brown, the
American relief negotiator.
1t is not known as yet whether the
objections will prove insurmountable.
The conference was continuing this aft
ernoon.
Meanwhile NJ. Litvinoff has telegraph
ed the chekas, the soviet tribunals,
throughout Russia to release all Ameri-
cans and send them to Moscow.
Guarantee Demanded.
An absolute guarantee of the protec-
ton of food supplies sent into Russia is
asked of the Russian government in
draft agreement presented to Maxim
Litvinoff by Mr.. Brown.
The guarantee was asked following
the receipt of a cable dispatch by Mr.
Brown from Herbert Hoover. head of
authorizing Mr.. Brown to proceed
with the negotiations for relief. Mr.
Hoover accepting the release of seven
American prisoners in Russia and the
promised opportunity to other Amerl-
cans to leave the country as evidence
of good faith on the part of Russia
in meeting the demands of Mr. Hoover.
as a basis for aid for the starving
Russians.
In addition to the regular require
ments for the receipt of American re-
lief administration supplies. speclai
draft agreement. These are based
generally on the uncertainty Of Rus
sian conditions. Mr. Brown proposes
that the relief administration deliver
goods at ports, from which the soviet
government in Russia is to transport
them to the famine districts. An abso-
lutte guarantee of freedom of travel
and communication for relief adminis-
tration workers in Russia Is also re-
cuested. -...------
I'VE will have the situation in our
hands at any time Russia shows a
disposition not to act in good faith"
Mr. Brown said today. But there are
no evidences of that. Immediately
after signing the agreement, some OF
our representatives will go into Rus
sia to look over the ground"
Mr.. Brown Is not personally SOlnS
to Russia He probably will send Mr..
Carroll, who, it is understood. will
act as chief of relief in Russia.

S|LES|AN PROBLEM
TO 0BE TAKEN Up BY
LEAGUE AUGUST q
Ishii Understood to Have De-
cided to Summon Council
for That Date.
By the Associa ted Press.

PARIS, August 13.-Viscount Ishii,
president of the council of the league
of nations. ix understood to have de-
cided to summon that body to meet on
August 20, for the purpose of consid-
ering solution of the Upper Silesian
problem. Estimates of how long it
may take the council to arrive at
decision vary widely, running from a
few days to several months.
Discussing the situation with the
Echo de Paris last night, Louis Lou
cheur. minister for liberated regions
in the French cabinet, remarked that
things go quicker than you think"
He added he had absolute confidence
trate the vexing question. His con-
fdence, however. was not shared by
Paris newspapers this morning, which
called attention to the previous work
of the council relative to Danzig,
Wilma and the Aland Islands, as evil
denceS of the kind of speed and i'm
partiality that might be expected.
BRAND Yields on Rule.
In agreeing to submit the Silesian
question to the council of the league.
Premier BRAND is asserted to have
waived the rule providing taat de-
ciSiOnS of the council must be unani-
nous, and the impression is that he
will accept the verdict of a majority
of the council.
"Pertinax,'' political editor of the
Echo de Paris. declares the French
premier made such an agreement. The
idea of submitting the matter to the
league of nations, says L'Oeuvre,
originated with NJ. BRAND, who sug-
gested it to Mr.. Lloyd George when
they met at the Italian embassy last
Tuesday. The British premier re-
jected the plan, but revived it when
he found France would not give way
yesterday.
Emphatic dissatisfaction with the de-
cision of the supreme council to call
upon the-league of nations to settle
the Silesian question was generally ex-
pressed by the press here today.
Students Plncard City.
The students Of Paris today entered
into the Upper Silesian controversy
Residents Of the city found on their
way to work this morning that the city
had been plastered with large posters
issued by an association of students.
These posters gave a carefully pre-
pared argument in support of the French
position as opposed to that of Great
Britain.
Newspapers printed in the English
and French languages based their con-
tention that the French attitude was
correct on the ground that if the parti-
ton of Silesia would cause to arise a
spirit of revenge in Germany it was too
late to apply this theory. They de-
clared that since Danzig and other
places had been taken away from Ger
many, the only thing remaining was to
render Germany as impotent as pos
sible.
