RUSSLA'S NOTE EXPLAINED,
PURPOSE OF wAGING A CAMPAIGN
AGAINST AMERICAN TRADE OF
FICIALLY DISAVOWED.

Washington. Aug. 3-A1r. Routkowski, the
financial agent OF the Russian Government at
Washington has. by direction of the home &u-
thorities made the following official statement
regarding the recent note of the Russian Min
lister Of Finance relating to the Brussels sugar
convention:
In view of the erroneous Interpretation by
many organs of the American press Of the OBJ
ject and meaning of the recent note of the Rus
sian Minister of Finance sent TO various gov
ernments whose representatives have signed the
Brussels Convention suppression of bountes
on sugar. NJ. Routkowsky. financial agent of the
Russian Government in the United States Fas
been instructed to communicate to the Ameri-
can press that in case Of the negative answer OF
the powers TO the above mentioned note, and the
esta blishnnent of a countervailing duty Rus
sian sugar. the imperial Russian Government
shall consider the establishment of such a duty
as an infraction of its commercial treaties with
powers so doing and therefore free from OBJ
legations imposed by them. and at liberty not to
comply with their stipulations, whenever II VIII
be 70 the advantage OF Russia
Many Of the American newspapers, NJ Rout-
kowsky explained, have interpreted the note re-
ferred 10 as a move the part of the Russian
Government to form a European coalition
against American trade Such an understand
ing, he declares, is entirely incorrect, ana ooeS
the Russian Government injustice. The note
sent by Russia TO the governments bdhlIi6
part in the Brussels Sugar Conference and also
the American Government, merely as an act
Of courtesy the United States not having been
a party to that conference In retaliation for
the countervailing duty against Russian bounty
fed sugars imposed by the United states Russia
now imposes her maximum tariff rates The
object Of the statement issued to-day, NJ Rout-
kovsty SAYS, is TO show that Russia is not en-
gagged in any effort TO wage a campaign against
American trade but to make plain to the par
ties 10 the Brussels conference that the lmpo-
sition OF countervailing duties against Russian
sugar will be met il was in the case OF the
United States. The question of the legality or
the countervailing duty Russian sugar is now
pending in the United States Supreme Court
