Washington, July l.. - That Ru,,.
and the United States have locs..
horns over the Kishineff petitio, .
generally acknowledged here vb.,.
the situation is regarded as capahl. \
assuming a serious phase. The ~.
statements issued here Wedpesd,,
evening, from Russian sourc..
and the other from the state dep,n
ment, show the temper of both %.
ernmentS.
Russia says: "You must not se,a
the petition concerning the Kisbjnss
incident"
The United States says: ~ will"
When nations defy each other n
that way their relations of friendline,
are jeopardized.
While officials here decline to NAL.
any disclosures on the subject, il n
generally believed that the statement,
issued late Wednesday night by III,
state department in which expression
was given to the decision to pay no at
tention to any other than

from the Russian government 10 IN
transmission to 1t by the United
States of the American petition, was
prepared at Oyster Bay and tae
graphed to Washington with instrus

Is likely to develop the friction due
primarily to the decision OF President
Roosevelt to forward r. PRESENTATION

Ill treatment of Jews in the cars Do
minions.
This feature is the Manchurian stu
alton, and the deep danger that lies ID
1t may be appreciated when the con-

made by the state department IS 'eaa

That concluding paragraph was as l~I

"In this connection it was polnlea

Guilty of Falsehood' II
Interpreted broadly it appears
mean that the United States so.a
