By (ho Assoclnlwl I'rcas Hlga, Aug. 18. Maxim Lltvinov, the Soviet envoy ln the Itusslnn famine re lief negotiations here with Walter Ly man Ilrown, of the American relief administration, has gone to the very limit in making concessions to met the demands of the American organization as to control of the relief work, says the newspaper Jvovy Put, the Uolshovik organ here. M. Litvlnov hns already exceeded his Instructions, the new simper insists, nnd In the event of nn unsatisfactory reply from Mr. Urown on the points still in dispute "the negotiations can be con sidered as wltliout result," it dcclnrcs. Special Cablt Dhvatch Covvrioht, 192 lllgn, Aug. 18. "The renon our ne gotlntlons nrc getting nowhere," said Maxim Litvinoff. bend of the Soviet Famine llclief Commission, "is becauso there Is a lack of confidence on one side and suspicions on the other." "Which sldo Ineks confidence nnd which side Is suspicious?" he wan asked. "You can tnke jour choice." he re plied, "nnd you probab'y will be right either way." A group of six representatives of tho International Red Cross, the League of Nations, tho International Committee of Relief nnd Credits nnd tho Rrltish "Save tho Children Fund," who ar rived from Geneva yesterday morning, left a memorandum witli M. Litvinoff urging international co-operation in saving Russia, nnd mentioning credits of sno.ooo.ooo.

"There fore wo nronosc thnt tho Kuropean nn tinns unite with America in tackling what is probably the world's gravest problem." Mr. Frlck admitted thnt the Inter nationnl Red Cross Itself controlled al most no funds, whereas the American Red Cross and the American Rc'lef Ad ministration have millions behind them which were rnlsed through public sub scription. The Internntionnl Red Cross proposal has awakened no remarkable enthusiasm in American circles here. M. Litvinoff was favornblv impressed because, ln his words, "Russia lias need of every relief measure," but the Americans, who arc prepared to go into nction with dollars ns well as with pa per plans, cannot sco tho ubo of an organization participating unless there Is money behind It. Ab has frequently happened American humanitarian work would bo carried out under n foreign Hag. Amerlcnns hero say the people would not be especially overjoyed to see tho Leaguo of Nations flag flying over goup kitchens nnd medical stations which New York, Philadelphia nnd Chicago citizens had sent to stricken Russia.

"For my part.'1 Briand continued, "I hnvc full confidence in it to prove once more thnt the French Govern ment, in spite of what has been said, Is without prejudice." Referring to the speech of Premier Llo.vil George in the British House of Common Tuesday, Brinnd snld it wns Identical with one Lloyd George had made before the Supreme Council, and in no wle weakened the French stand point. The French, he added, like Lloyd George, were attached to the Idea of justice In the execution of the Penrc Treaty, though the French nnd British views differed in the mnnner of Inter preting Artirle 8S, especially as re gards the spirit In which the plebiscite in Upper Silesia wns held. He contended, however, thnt France wns right when she dcclnred the indus trial region iwns divisible. "As for the industrial triangle," Briand continued, "there was the same disagreement, While the French wc pcrts declared It contained nil the ele ments of economical solidarity, the English refused to admit this point of view. "I could not admit thnt the spirit in which the draft treaty wns conceived should lend to giving the Germans nn enormous majority of the Polish voters while Poland would only receive the smnllcst minority of the German voters.
