AMERICAN
South American Idea of Russia's
Breaking of Faith.

The Russian government has refused
70 accept a United States passport if
it bears the name of a Jew. The state
department at Washington notifies all
applicants for passports that it has not
yet been able to secure from the Rus
sian government a promise Of uniform
treatment for all American travellers
IN Russia. without regard to their re-
ligiOus faith. The action Of Russia is
in violation of her treaty agreement.
made as far back as 1892. which said:
The inhabitants of the respective
states shall mutually have liberty to
enter the ports. places. rivers and ter
ritories of each party, wherever for
e;gn commerce is permitted. They
shall be at liberty to sojourn and re-
side in all parts whatsoever Of said
territories. in order to attend TO their
affairs. and they shall enjoy to that
effect the same security and pr0tec-
ton as natives of the country in
which they reside. on condition Of
their submitting TO the laws and Ordi-
nanceS there prevailing and particu-
larly to the regulations in force con-
corning commerce." When Mr.. Blaine
was secretary Of state at Washing
ton he wrote to st. Petersburg: W
can make no new treaty with Russia.
nor accept n construction OF u ey-
listing treaty. which shall discriminate
against any class Of American citi-
zens on account of their religious
faith" This seems to be sound Am
erican doctrine.
