NOT AFRAID.
Russia Will Hear from Us on
the Jewish Question.
No Hints, Warnings or Threats Can
Brighten Uncle Sam.
Russia's Friendlincss Is Just Now of
Peculiar Nature.

Washington, July 1.-The position of
the administration regarding the pro-
| posed transmission of the petition of
/ the Jewish citizens of the United States
to the Russian government was made
very clear and positive by statement
authorized by the state department,
tonight. This statement was inspired
by newspaper publications rejecting
upon the attitude of the Russian gov
eminent in thee event of the presenta-
ton of such a petition through the me-
dunn of the United States embassy at
st. Petersburg, which had been brought
to the attention of high officials of the
government. 1t was given very careful
consideration both here and at oyster
Bay before a decision was reached to
make any declaration regarding the
matter. The statement is as follows:
AT the state department it was
stated by a nigh official in the absence
of Secretary Hay that the delay in for
warding the petition of the American
citizens of the Jewish faith as to the
ill-treatment of their co-religionists in
Russia was solely due to the delay in
furnishing the address to the state de-
partment of the petitioners.
The state department, would, of
course, pay no heed to any statement
purporting to emanate from the Rus
sian government unless such statement
was made officially in some form or
other to our own government.
THE statement has been scrupu-
lousy careful to act only in accordance
with all the requirements of official pro-
priety, but within the limits thus laid
down it will most certainly not hesi-
tate to give expression to the deep SYM
pathy felt not only by the administra-
ton but by all the American people for
the unfortunate Jews who have been
the victims in the recent appalling
massacres and outrages.
'In this connection it was pointed out
by an other official who disclaimed any
purpose to speak in his official capacity,
however, that it seemed somewhat
strange to say the least, that the Rus
sian government should choose this
particular method of making state
ment to the American people at the
very time when by methods which are
certainly the reverse of friendlineSs to
the United States it has sought to
make China join in breaking the plight
ed faith of all the powers as to the open
door in Manchuria, and has endeavOred |
to bar our people from access to the
Manchurian trade"
The above statement was shown to
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador |
tonight, but he declined to make any
comment on it. Any reply to this state |
ment must be made under direct in
structions from ST. Petersburg. 1t is |
realized both at the state department |
and the Russian embassy that the sit |
uation is extremely delicate. |
