WHAT RUSSIA MEANS
BY the Note She Sent the Powers
Recently Relative to the
Duty on Sugar.
DIDN'T HAVE UNCLE SAM IN MIND
As He Is Getting All That's Coming
to Him Already for His
Saccharine Sins.

Washington, Aug. 4.-AIr. NJ. ROut-
kowsky, the financial agent of the
Russian government ut Washington,
has by direction of the home authori-
ties made the following official state
ment regarding the recent note of the
Russian minister of finance relating
to the Brussels sugar convention: In
view of the erroneous Interpretation
by many organs of the American
press of the object and meaning of the
recent note of the Russian minister
of finance sent to various governments
whose representatives have signed the
Brussels convention on suppression of
bounties on sugar, NJ. Routkowsky,
financial agent of the Russian govern
ment in the United States. has been
instructed to communicate to the
American press that in case of the
negative answer of powers to the
above mentioned note and the estab-
lishmen of Il countervailing duty on
Russian sugar the imperial Russian
government shall consider the eStab-
lishment of such Il duty as an infrac-
ton of its commercial treaties with
powers so doing. and therefor free
from obligations imposed by them and
at liberty not TO comply with their
StpulationS, whenever il will be to the
advantage of Russia"
We Are Getting All That's Coming to Us
Many of the United States newSpa-
perS, NJ. ROutlOwsky explained, have
interpreted the note referred to as a
move on the part of the Russian gov
ernment to inaugurate European CO.
alition against United States trade
Such an understanding, he declares.
is entirely incorrect, and does the Rus
sian government an injuctice. The
note was sent by Russia to the govern
mentS participating in the Brussels
sugar conference, and also to the Unit
ed States government merely as an
act of courtesy, the United States not
having been Il party to that confer
ence. In retaliation for the counter
Vailing duty against Russian bounty
sugars imposed by the United States,
Russia now imposes her maximum tar
iff rates. The object of the statement
issued yesterday, NJ. ROutkowsky
says, Is to show that Russia is not
engaged in any effort to wage cam
paign against United States trade. but
to make plain to the parties to the
Brussels conference that the impoSi-
ton of countervailing duties against
Russian sugar will he met as it was
in the case of the United States. The
question of the legality of the coun-
terVailing duty on Russian sugar now
is pending in the United States s'I-
