'' Economic Arrangement. m "It must be understood the agree- II ment hAs no political character what- soever," said M. Berkenheim. ''It is II merely an economic, financial and hu-j mm inanitarian arrangement. Russian co-i B operative unions, organized fifty years ( now number 500 branches and have' 50,000 local societies with 25,000,000 members. These societies operate K throughout Russia whether under Bol- Hhevilc rule or controlled by other gov fl ernments. It is a sort of Russian eco- Iwm nomic Red Cross.

J "This plan is very simple. We havei in Russia large stocks of wheat, ce-' reals, cattle and flax which are now larger than Russia ever disposed of. "Three problems must be met in or I der to arrive at an exchange of goods ( first, transformation of raw material X outside of Russia; second, the mode of S payment to the Russian producor and M third, distribution of imported goods 10 Russian consumers. 'I "We require farming and agricultu 1 ' ral implements, cloth, shoes, locomo : tives, motors, automobiles and medical j 1 supplies.

We must import first in order to export Ships may enter at the Baltic and j White seaports loaded with goods needed by Russia and may return with ' our exports." M. Berkenheim would not say ' whether this tonnage had been prom- f ised by Great Britain. I Statement Disputed. The correspondent informed M. Ber :i kenhelm that it was the belief in k France that the Bolshevlki would su ' pervise distribution and allow goods to ' reach their adherents while the rest ;t of the population might go barefooted and naked. "Our stores are not under the con trol of the Bolsheviki," he replied. ! . "When the Moscow government na- llonalized all stores and closed them, our stores continued business undis-j ; turbed. This was not through any un- due friendship with the do facto gov : ernment but because of the high es-, teem in which the co-operative soci i ; eties are held by the population ;: throughout Russia. Wo feel euro our headquarters in Moscow can reach a ,: satisfactory agreement with the soviot authorities for an impartial distribu- tion, "This is the beginning of the resur rection of economic life in Russia' said M. Krovopouskoff. How About America? ; M. Berkenheim said ho did not know whether the agreement included America. As far as he and his col leagues were concerned, negotiations were carried only with Premiers Clem ; enceau, Lloyd George and Nitti, but he ; , expressed the hope that it would not , tie long before a similar arrangement Was made with the United States. , ii.

JAPANESE PUZZLED BflllllLOF VflWKS FRDWi SIBERIA American Troops Continue Movement from Railroad Toward Vladivostok STATEMENT AWAITED FROM UNITED STATES Transport Great Northern Is Frozen In Harbor Following Polar Blizzard VLADIVOSTOK, Tuesday, Jan. 13. (By the Associated Press.) American (and allied representatives are await ' ing an announcement as to the re sults of Japanese and American diplo i matic negotiations at Washington re garding Siberia, which are expected I to clear up a peculiar situation here growing out of the withdrawal of Am ' erican forces. The1 United States troops have re ceived orders to ovacuate Siberia, I without the issuance by the American government of a statement regarding Jits policy toward Siberia and Japan, I an agreement with whoni onAugust 19. 1918, brought the T!mencan-Japa-nesc expeditions here. Since the an nouncement January S by Major Gen- 'prnl WHUnin S flrnvps pnmmnmlpr of the American expeditionary forces in Siberia, that the war department had ordered his command to Manila, he has made no statements regarding the evacuation. Yank Troops Moving. American troops continue their movement from the railroad sectors Iowa id Vladivostok and vicinity -which remains comparatively free from po litical disturbances and other disor deiv. The first troop trains from Spashkoe arrived last night but the men were unable lo board the trans port Great Northern because she was unable to dock owing to a bli.zard, and now is frozen in the ice at Chur kin point. The Japanese claim ignorance of any change from the original Japanese-American agreement regarding the Siberian policy. The official pub licity bureau today issued to the Rus sian press the following statement: "The American military evacuation of Siberia with notice only to General Oi (Japanese commander in eastern Siberia) creates a profound impression in Tokio. The American stroke coming without any notice from the American government, from Ambassador Shide- without even a reply from Washing ton io the recent Japanese proposals regarding the Siberinn situation, is a bolt from the blue to unsuspecting Japanese who are unable to grasp the significance of tho situation." Summarizing the press comment which officials of the bureau say may be considered the people's view, a statement is issued as follows: "Single-handed opposition to the Bol shoviki in Siberia is an exceedingly heavy burden on Japan, both in mili tary sense and financially. However, it is unthinkable that Japan will with draw her forces from Siberia and thus abandon the red country contiguous to her own territory. Therefore, the wisest policy seems to be to dispatch half a division of troops and reinforc ing guards to the important centers where the railway needs them." Admiral Gleavcs arrived here yester day on the battleship North Dakota. One hundred and seventy-five Red Cross workers, including a hundred women, arc reported to have left Chita, four hundred miles east of Irkutsk for Vladivostok. Ernest L. Harris, tho American consul at the seat of the all Russian government, is on his way from Verkhnudlnsk eastward.

CEASE TRYING TO PLEASE MALES, IS EDITOR'S REQUEST NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Women were urged to lower the cost of living- by abandoning the worldwide tradition that they must dress "to capture the fleeting fancy of the male" or to outdo others of their sex in an address today by Helen Louise Johnson, editor of the General Federation Magazine, before the Columbia University Institute of Arts and Sciences. Lower prices could be brought about, she added in her talk on "the ethics of dress" by the adoption of a standardized cos tume. !

H 19. Russians who were deported from the United States were given what ' might he termed an official reception ) just outside Ihe village today. In the I' crowd that greeted Alexander Berk- man, Emma Goldman, and their com- ! rades was M. Zorien, member of the all-soviet executive committee, who after a brief conference with Berkman agreed to permit the whole party to enter Bolshevik Russia, "There is no question they will be welcomed in Russia," said M. Zorien. i i "We will give them work according ' to their professions and trades, but first we must provide for them with I comfortable homes and feed them well." ' tM Madame Gorky, wife of the novelist, ) Vmm said when she met the deportees: ' "Russia opens her arms to all who -H are politically persecuted." There was a slight 'delayTn "gel ting J-M in touch with the Bolsheviki, whose 1 lines were about a mile distant from ' the brook marking the frontier of sov- iet territory. When finally a confer- 1 ence had been arranged, Berkman ac- I companied by Finnish officers and 1 newspaper correspondents, went out 1 on the ice, meeting the Bolsheviki in the middle of tho stream. Both par ties conspicuously displayed white flags, the one carried by the Bolshevik IH soldiers being a table cloth tied to 1 IH a red pole. After a short parley the 1 soviet officers summoned the mem- 1 hers of the soviet committee of Petro- 'H grad, which included Joseph Feinde berg, former British labor leader, and M. Zorien. The committee was con- i ducted to Terijoki, where a conference On the way back to the village M. LM Zorien told Berkman that Admiral Kolchak had been made prisoner in ) Siberia. This news was shouted to IH other deportees who were leaning out of the windows of the train and was received with cheers. 1 Shortly after the decision to receive m the deportees was received, the whole party detrained at a point where a wood road leaves the railway and runs towards tho forest. A few" who were unable to walk were placed in sleighs. Finnish soldiers guarded the road and transfer was made without a. hitch. . Captain Emil Nielson, of the British -W Red Cross, entered soviet Russia with 'H the deportees for the purpose of ar ranging a shipment of supplies to the British prisoners. The train waited for him at Viborg and It was not until 9 o'clock this morning that it reached Terijoki. Conditions have considerably ini- proved in Petrograd, according to M. Zorien, who said everyone thero was getting one and one-quarter pounds of bread per day. There was compara tivcly little idleness and wood and fuel wero more abundant, making life more pleasant than heretofore, he I'Lm taid. The greatest difficulty had been I'H experienced in getting coal to operate ',mmm factories, but recently as a result of jjH improved transport some had been 'IH brought up from the south. M. Zorien ilH spoke enthusiastically of an experi- 'Lm ment begun last week in organizing military forces for work. 'H "Our crack Third army, which was the best of those used .in Siberia mm against Kolchak, wns withdrawn from jH the front," he said, "and although this IH organization is kept under strict mill- m tary discipline, it is no longer fighting, but is a working machine. Its prlncl pal task is supplying Petrograd with food, which is secured direct from the peasants, and bringing in wood. AS our military requirements decrease hope to convert more of our troops to jH industrial purposes, still keeping each iH unit intact on a military footing."
