WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.--The

Jews relative to Russta's treatment OF

that the United States will appreciate

the Russian position regarding what is

Is unchanged. The Associated Press Is
further permitted to say that Mr.. Riddle.

tho petition at the Russian Foreign Office.
will be received with tho same cordially
always accorded an American envoy. In
returning the petition to MIR. Riddle the
officials will assure him that Russia cher
ishes no Ill Will toward the United States
and that the action 1t takes with respect
to the petition is necessary In view OF
Russia's unalterable policy of refraining
from interference In the Internal affairs
OF other powers and insisting on similar
treatment for itself. Tho Russian gov

declines to listen to reports that tho
