XUJtia. Aug. 21. (By Associated

quoted, in an interview" distributed to
the press today by the Kokusai agencv
as declaring that v the after-the-war
complications ox international relations

Japan, says the foreign ministry,
oniy too jriad that it finds In the
Proposed "con ventlonan opportunity of
giving thorough and frank expression
to its- cherishedaims and policies, as a
contribution to the promotion of the
peace f humanity.
The government's reply givinc: no
tice of formal acceptance," the foreign
minister is quoted as saying, "will be
issued after consideration of the draft
of the text by the diplomatic ad
visory council on August 23. "The
necessary negotiations regarding the
nature and range oof the subjects for
discussion" at the conference have so
far been -well maintained through, the
diplomatic representatives of the im
perial government in Washington with;
the result -that a proper understanding
is beginning to be secured. Such an
understanding will be, facilitated so as
to be completed before the opening of
the conference, as the American'
authorities have been made to realize
how "important it must' be -for. Japan
to be thoroughly acquainted with the
agenda of the conference before at
tending It.!
It appeared, continued , Viscount
Uchida, that, all the other powers ap
pureclated the necessity of obtaining
aenmte preliminary Knowledge of -the
agenda so as to facilitate realization
of the aim for which the conference
was,- called, prudence forbade, the-
publication of the concrete Japanese
policy on the particular subjects ; to
be taken up, but the government, he
said, could give assurance that it was
determined to do . Its utmost for the
attainment of general peace.
Japan's delegates, the foreign, minis
ter' declared, should be appointed in
time for them to start for the United
States by 'October. - .

CONCORD, Aug. 21. Along with
the prospect that every one of the

Adjutant General Metts, no troops
would be on guard duty at the various

the Cannon group which are to re
sume operations Monday for the first,
time since June 1. However, the
troops --will remain on hand according
to the announcement pending, further
developments ready for any emer
gency, i - v-
Sheriff Carl Spears, it became known,
today, has notified General Metts that
he believes' troops will not be needed
at. the mills tomorrow; morning;: and it
is learned from i official sources that
the military forces, while still here,
will not be used again unless disorders
develop. .
Following the opening of the Frank-;

tomorrow, the Norcott and Brown mills

An excellent general course for. the

American Supply Boats Again to
Bridge the Atlantic, for
Russia This Time
START FOOD SOON
Hoover Estimates Expenditures
Here for Rations at $1,
250,000 a Month w
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. Once more
American supply ships .are to bridge
tne Atlantic this time harrying food
rftunitions for the American relief ad
ministration's war against starvation
ind sickness among the children, of so
viet Russia. -
Food shipments from New York are
to begin as soon as vessels are ready,
officials said . tonight, .but it was be
lieved that -surplus supplies frpm
warehouses abroad were already mov
ing into Russia -under the working
agreement negotiated at' Riga between
Walter Lyman Brown-, European direc
tor of the organization, and Litvinoff,
the soviet representative.
As yet officials declared Secretary
Hoover, chairman of the administra
tion, has only outlined In a broad and
general way the plans for mitigating
the Russian famine. Before the pro
gram can be worked out in finished de
tail, it was explained, relief agents
must size up the situation in the va
rious famine .areas, and report on the
difficulties, such as transportation, to
be overcome and the number of hun
gry mouths to be fed. .
At first, because of the nature of the
country, food relief . in Russia 'necessa
rily must be limited, officials asserted,
.but as the administration's veteran or
(ganization reached its maximum speed
they predicted that vast stocks of food
. stuffs would cross the seas to Russian
children. These supplies have been
specially selected to meet the dietary
needs of the youn. Actual dlstribu
tion. It was said, would probably be
made at hut kitchens, where the chll
dren would be fed twice a day, as this
method would, insure the foOd reaching
its Intended objects and enable the
most careful jcheck on outgoing sup
plies.. f -
Secretary Hoover estimated the copt
pf Russian relief when it is well under
