RUSSIA'S PROPOSAL
ON TRUST QUESTION

the interests of international trade or
commerce. that even such protection of
home prices proves a disturbance to the
free action of international competition.
the Russian Government would readily
enter, jointly with the other powers,
into a discussion of the various meas
ures that could be conducive in check
ing the several means Of influencing in
ternationaI markets
Should be Wide IN Scope,
1t would not. however. be inclined to
consider an agreement on this point. IN
less the question should be put in such
a way. as to cover the whole Of its scope
That is TO say, if there were undertaken
an examination not only OF the results
OF direct measures by the government,
such as the creation Of bounties OF the
control Of the production, but also the
essence Of various syndicates ttrusts)
tolerated and protected by the govern
ment, and unless the general convention
should have for its object not only Sd
gar. but also other leading staples Of the
international trade of the present day
IN taking the position above ex-
planned. the imperial government hopes
that the foreign governments will make
no difficulty in taking it as an ex-
preston Of its full consent to partici-
pate in any joint action OF the powers
which would aim to protect international
prices against artificial falls in regard
to sugar as we'll as other merchan-
disc
IN other words. broadly interpreted,
Russia Is unwilling to accept any inter
national agreement on the sugar bounty
question. unless it is included in an ar
rangement contemplating measures for
checking the several K4eans OF infu-
encing international markets"
This Government does not regard the
J Issian note as a proposition TO par
ticipate in conference for she control
Of trusts and combinations generally
No response 10 the note viii probably
be made, although it is too early yet to
make definite statement to that efEsct.
The Governments action from present
Indications will content itself with the
acknowledgement of the receipt Of the
note made by the American ambassador
at St. Petersburg.
