STËRVING RUSSIA,
MEASURES TO PREVENT SPREAD OF CHOLERA.
DANGER TO THE DOMINIONS.
LONDON, Aagust 12.
In the House of Lords, Lord Askwith inquired regarding the famine in Russia whether measures were being considered to prevent a spread of cholera to the Dominions Lord Emott said that Rusia was faced with a terrible catastrophe which would reast on the whole world. It was a duty to do the utmost. Lord Macdonnell expressed the opinion that no govern ment in the world was capable of coping with the calamity threatening Eastern Europe. The only available system was one elaborated in India during his residence there in which very important provision was chade to secure a pure water supply. He declared that experiences in India showed that when people were wandering throughout the country the only method was to establish a large famine camp and keep people there until they could be returned to their villages, and then establish the village system of administration which had been established in India. He urged the Government to grant between £30,000,000 and £50,000,000 therefore. Earl Crawford replying, said that official information from Russia was meagre but it was clear that the position was one of the utmost danger, involving partial or complete failure of crops in the middle and lower basins of the Voiga. The Soviet had reported 27,000 cases of cholera. Measures were being taken to keep out seaborne cases. All the Dominions had been fully informed of the situation. The Supreme Council was considering remedial action which would have to include preventative measures as regards the spread of disease to the Dominions.
AID REFUSED UNTIL AMERICAN PRISONERS ARE RELEASED.
LONDON, August 11. The American Relief Administration representatives in London state that the Soviet has released Eitherto only six American prisoners. Nothing can be done as regards the tamine in Russia until the remaining twenty-one are liberated.
FIGHT TOWARDS SIBERIA.
RIGA, August 11.
Incal representatives of the Soviet have assured Latvia that she has nothing to fear regarding invasion of famine-stricken Russians, as the more. ment of fleeing populations is towards Siberia and the south-west provinces of Russia.
PACIFIC CONFERENCE.
NAVAL ARMAMENTS TO HAVE FIRST PLACE ON AGENDA.
CHINA'S POSITION.
WASHINGTON, August 12. President Harding's formal invitations to a disarmament and Far Eastern conference have been despatched to Britain, France, Italy, Japan, and China. No limitation is placed on the scope of the discussions. It is bowever, 'suggested that naval armaments may naturally have the first place on the agenda, although it has been thought best not to exclude questions pertaining to other forms of armament from the subjects to be considered. The communication to China does not include an invitation to a disarma. ment conference but requests the Chinese Government to participate in the discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern affairs.

WASHINGTON, August 12. The text of Fresident Harding's invitation declares that the President is deeply gratified at the cordial response to his suggestion of con ference on the subject of the limitation of armaments, in connection with which-Pacific and Far Eastern problems can be discussed. He describes the encumbrance placed on productive labour by the enormous dis Bursements in rivalries in armament which are not only without economic justification but a constant menice to the peace of the world rather than an assurance of its preservation and believes that the time is opportune for the powers to approach the subject directly and in a conference at which, while naval armaments will naturally have first place. It is thought best not
