Great Britain will have nothing to
do with Russia. regarding pre-revolu-
tionaIy property rights. which covers
oil, unless American interests are con-
currently safeguarded with her own
THE New York HERALD correspondent
has been informed by an authoritative
source, This probably will not be a
written document. but the British in
sist that this must be clearly under
stood between Premier Lloyd Georga
and George Tchitcherin the Russian
Foreign. Minister
The British policy is Identical with
that OF President Harding on the ques-
ton OF private property rights and
refuses to reach an agreement which
would prejudice American interests.
There is great reason to believe from,
the feeling in official circles here that
an unwritten oil entente exists not only
between the great corporations, but also
among the Governments, for the ex-
change OF information and the disposi-
ton of concessions, particularly in the
Russian fields. While the Soviets are
anxious to divide up the concession area
equally among those who held conces-
sions before the war without regard to
the value of the fields. Great Britain. like
America. demands the restoration to her
nationals OF the same fields held before
the war
The situation for America is some
what different from that of Great Brit
ain by the fact that most of the Ameri-
can capital is invested in Russian COM
panies which the Soviets claim the right
to nationalize in accordance with their
Internal laws, while British capital is
largely invested in British companies
which the Soviet Government classes as
foreign and is willing to restore.
The American interests should be
treated as foreign and the British
though they have no direct interest In
the question. are upholding the Ameri-
can contentious In their dealings with
the Russians at Genoa II Is semt-cf-
ficially stated here.
Much progress has been made in the
last few weeks toward complete under
standing between the two Governments
on all questions pertaining to the pro-
lection OF American interests. An ex-
ample OF this is the Palestine agreement,
which. though not yet actually signed,
has been substantially framed SO that
the Americans who have been standing
by the wells of Palestine for the last
three years will have their rights cstsb-
lished and can soon begin to operate.
Officials do not expect any difficulties
between British and American oil inter-
ests anywhere. even though the only hold
over private corporations Is that OF ex-
ercising diplomatic. influence In coun-
tries granting concessions.

The peace commission OF the Dali

Apparently serious division has
arisen. but while on the surface peace
seems far away THE NEW YORK HERALD
correspondent learns from a most re-
liable source that the prospects of g
settlement are brighter tonight than at
any time since the treaty was signed.
The announcement OF the commits
sion's failure fell heavily on the Dali
session. The commission. II In under
stood. came very near success. Five
former anti-treaty officers, who signed
the manifesto urging unification of the
army on the basis of the treaty submit
ted several plans which the Provisional
Government supporters were willing to
accept. but each member OF the opposing
party rejected them.

The Missouri Senator also contributed

"Mr. Goldstein sees fl to sacrifice

Senator Spencer expressed the opin-
ion that Goldstein had not committed
any immoral action in the Lowden
campaign.
Senator Harrison (Dem., Miss.)
asked if Goldstein had not withdrawn
his application as postmaster of st.
Louis for fear of exposure. Senator
Spencer said Goldstein was not an APP
plicant for the postmastership. but had
been mentioned by friends who re-
garded him as eminently fitted for the
place.
"I congratulate the Senator from
Missouri" said Senator Harrison with
marked sarcasm, for extricating him.
self and his party from very en-
barassing position. This is not the
first time he has led the Republican
hosts right up to the precipice and
performed a somersault. The testimony
before the Senate investigation COM
mittee revealed that Mr.. Goldstein was
one of two men, each OF whom was
paid $500 presumably TO influence
them to vote for Mr. Lowden at Chi
cago'
There was not a word In the rec

Mr. Goldstein TO use II for legitimate

paid to w. H. Moore" asserted Sena-
tor Harrison. which caused the defeat
of Mr.. Lowden before the Chicago con-
vention."
THAT may be So" admitted Mr..
Spencer, but the fund was not used
for any corrupt purpose"
Senator Harrison said he did not
think it necessary to defend Senator
Spencer from the charge contained in
Mr.. Lowder's wireless message that
Goldsteins testimony was given at the
suggestion of Senator Spencer.

In declaring that he did not need
Tany defense. Senator Spencer said
Goldstein did not give false testimony
before the Senate committee and that
he was Commended by Senators Ken

There was great deal OF talk about
the activities Of the agents of the cam

nation during the debate.
Senator Caraway (Dem., Ark.)
asked How much Lowden money was
sent into Missouri"
Senator Harrison replied that he had
been informed that it was about SS0,-

was not more than $4,000.
THAT exaggeration is small in COM
paEison with some Others" he said. ''in

Senator Harrison read a telegram
sent by several ministers in st. Louis
condemning the nomination of Gold

'the Senator has helped his party by
