A heated nrgutnent regarding the resumption of trade wlih Russia occurred In tho French rhimlier of Deputies this afternoon, v.hi-- llinest Lnfont, Socialist Deputy, urged recognition ot tho Soviet Gov trntnrni. \Ka. ts are facts,\ he said. \Whether n plraxpx ynu or not, you will have to m,.k. peace with tho present Govern- ment in Itiifsia, for whether or not it ito lie criticised there Is one unal-- \ limbic fact tho existence of the soviet s.\ Prunler Mlllerand answered M.

I'ntll then we await In expectation, and dll not recognize tho Soviets.\ M. Lafonto appealed for tho rcstora-tlo- n of trade with tho Soviets as the only means of preventing the death ot children, but one hearer Interrupted and siiKKcsted that the fault was wlh Bol-tl- m mm, not with France. That the .Moscow Soviet Government apparently Intends using the old Rue-ula- n debt ns a wedge .to enter Into peace negotiations with the Allies becomes more ilear dally. Not only Krasslno In lnterlcws with the Liberie' 'oorrepon-dfti- t In iondon hns Btressed tho neces- sity of peace before financial obligations iuuM be considered; but Tchltcherin, the sovlnt Foreign .Minister, In an Interview ttltli a special correspondent of the Jour ml confesses the Soviet's weakness anil KllllriBiicsa to pay any price for peace. \But the price one Is willing to pay depends upon tho necessity,\ frays T hltelierln. \Tho more you wait, the !s your offer Interests the Russian Government and tho less you will ob- tain.

Smith Is not nominated for tho Presidency ho will pass up tho chance of tho nomination and will run again for Governor of New York this fall. Thotheory Is that he would lie of moro service to tho national ticket' by staying at homo and trying to carry It with him In his own Stato than by canvassing tho country for second place. This prcgrammo was approved to day In a conference In which figured Gov. Smith, Charles F. Murphy, Nor man E. Mack nnd others. Meanwhile tho personal liberty Dem- ocrats, in shorter words tho wets, aro begging Al Smith to take the leader ship of their light In the convention. Gov. Edwards of New Jersey, who wuh to marshal them in the coulllct with William J. Hrynn nnd tho other faction that wants to keep tho liquor question out of thu platform alto- gether, Is not coming. Fltwnild May Present nine. A fev liberal remarks, made by Albert Sidney Hurleson in tho East two days ago raised a liopo that he might till Edwards's place, but there Is nothing In thnt. The light wines and beer crowd are leaderless and In n fog and they want Smith of New Yoik to tako them in charge, and find tho way out. It Is regarded here as probable that he will find it lmposslblo to do It, as tho dis- position ot the men he most trusts Is to, make their light for a platform with-o- a mention of prohibition. Smith will be placed In nomination for President. Either John J. Fitzgerald of Rrooklyn or Francis E. Cullen of Oswego mav make the speech. Friends of Smith who have come to Snn Francisco ahead of tho New York delegation say Its sentiment Is \virtually unanimous\ for him. Fitzgerald 1ms had a leaning tow- ard Palmer, developed beforo McAdoo formally put himself out and beforo Smith's name was suggested for the major nomination. Democrat close to Charles F. Murphy say that .'rom 30 to 50 votes from other States than New York have been prom- ised for' Smith on the first ballot and many mor eafter the trial heats are run ort.

They like Palmer but feel that ha can't win. .Marshall and Chnmp Clark the latter their selection in 1912 are re- garded as a mile over the ago limit. Cnuoim The New York delegation will caucus on Saturday, following their arrival hero night. They will get here with the prospect ot a. fight over tho unit rule In their own delegation. George Lunn of Schenectady and Sam- uel Seabury of New York, both of whom have reached San Francisco, fought tho adoption of the rule adopted by the lbany conference of tho delegates on May 0 and are not wholly reconciled to It yet. Lunn Is for McAdoo and uncertain what he will do if there is no McAdoo drive In the convefctfon. Ho may swing to Smith, but Is no happier about tho unit rule than ho ever wns. It is not imposslblo that Lunn may get up In the convention nnd swear that the rule does rfot bind him. as Newton 1). Haker, then a delegato for Ohio, did at Haltlmoro In 1.112. Haker was sustained by the chair- man, whereupon tho Democrats discov- ered that the rule was not really a law of the party but a tradition. Regarding tne great fight for the worklngman nnd his beer, Smith was iftkcd y what ho thought of tho movement, which Is pretty strong, to have a platform declaration that popular referendum in the States thould be re- quired for amending the Federal Con- stitution. \Why he said, \our Stato convention laiit February passed a resolution favor- ing that.

Sjirclnl to Tun Scn and Nnw YonK HrauLD. Washington, June 21. President Wilson seemed confident y that his telegram to Gov. Rolierts of Ten- nessee would result in votes for women throughout tho United Stntes at the coming election. Supplement- ing the information tlat tho Tennes- see Legislature would bo called into special session to consider ratification of tho suffrage amendment came word from North Carolina that tho Legis- lature thorn would meet lato In July or early in August and would tako up the same question. The attltudo of both States seemed to bo favprablo to ratification. Ratification of the amendment by either State would be sufficient, ac- cording to the opinion expressed In Washington, to permit women to voto in November. Congress action Is un- necessary, since tho amendment mere- ly .guarantees to tho women the right of suffrage, the regulations for casting tho ballots being entirely in the hands of tho individual States. Much Hope Plnred in Women. Politicians cstlmato that universal suffrtogo will mean tho casting of ap- proximately 30,000,000 votes for Presi- dent nt tho coming election. About 18,000,000 wero cast at tho last na- tional election, but since that time unffrnt-r- . hna limn extended to many nf tin. sfatps of their own accord. Tho notion which appears to be Imminent will affect proUibly 5,000,000 women. Amiiitatrntinii TJetnocrats assorted that woman suffrage will be a distinct ndvantago to the Democratic cause, par- ticularly with the League ot Nations .as an Issue. For sentimental reasons, tne feeling Is, this Issue might appeal par- ticularly to women. White House officlals took occasion to deny tho reports from San Frnncisco that Mr. Wilson Intenaed by means of the telephone and amplifiers In the con- vention hall to deliver an address to tho delegates. He that as It may, the outstanding faot remains that Mr. Wil- son does Intend during the courw ot the convention to dellr a message to the delegates, although the expectation Is that It may he read In his behalf. Ho has been at work for some time on this message, which will be a clarion call tn mllv tho convention to tho unquali fied support of tho Administration. Sees .Smith Pimlieil Fornnnl. One Democratic leader In Washington declared his confident expectation that beforo tho San Francisco convention has gone far with the real buslncsa ot pick- ing a Presidential nominee the name of Gov. Smith ot Mew York will appear in tho front rank of possibilities. While unwilling to say whether he had sp'cclflc Information, ho added that he expected that Tammany would-pus- h (iov. Smith to the fore and urge his availability In view of the peculiar sit- uation of tho party. He observed that with McAdoo out of consideration and his support showing signs of disintegrat- ing, and with the movement for nt Marshall apparently losing somo of its force. Gov. Smith hardly would get through the convention weok without serious consideration, even If there were no special interest at work In his behalf.

Minor Angles Are Numerous. There aro minor angles scarcely leu Interesting than tho eight major situa- tions enumerated, but tho eight cover tho red hot gossip of tho convention preliminaries. First and foremost Is the fear of Wilson. It may bo groundless, a grisly shape In the nightmares of aspirants and their managers, but It exists patently and painfully. Chairman Cummings brushes aside talk about the President's posslbln ss to accept renomlnatlon. Carter Glass laughs at the Idea. MoNab. the California philosopher, says he knows It Is out of tho question. Tho Westerner! get red In tho face when It Is mentioned. Hut like the Old Man ot the Sea it rldei tho back of the convention, and they seek the secret of Sindbad to get rid of It. ' Tho leaders who fenr Wilson's ambi- tion and who fay frankly that the egotism of Wilson Is capable of any , flight, no matter how unprecedented, suspect that Cummings and Colby are I tho only White House confidants In the secret, with the ppsslblo exception of J Carter Glass. They tiro prepared for ; tho worst when Colby gets up to sprinf his \extemporaneous\ address as per- manent chairman. Nothing would de- light them more than a word from the President proving they have been ridicu- lously, childishly wrong.
