The Russian Government con- »siders it necessary to fix as soon as possible the exact conditions on which the immediate rela- tions are to begin. Its humane intentions guaran- tee the feeding, medical aid and clothing of the million children and invalids. For this purpose the Russian Government consid- ers it useful that Director Brown, or any other ‘person authorized -for the negotiations, should im- mediately come to Moscow, Riga or Reval. The Russian soviet Govern- ment expects a quick reply, stating the place and time for KAMENEFF., : ¥ the Associated Press.
