RUSSIA WILL REFUSE
RECOGNITION OF JEWISH PASS
PORTS WILL NOT BE ACCORDED.
Views of the Journal de st. Petersburg,
the Semi-oficia1 Organ of
the Government.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 1.-THE
fact that the government of the United
States. through Ambassador Mccormick,
had opened negotiations with the Russian
government with the object Of obtaining
recognition of Jewish passports In Russia
Is not generally known here. Even the
Journal de ST. Petersburg, the semf-offfcial
organ Of the foreign office, receives the re-
ports drifting back through the foreign
press with incredulity. The Journal refers
editorially to what it calls "stupefylns
article in the Paris Steele. representing
President Roosevelt as a new Moses seek
ing to impose on Russia liberal treatment
Of Russian Jews naturaliZed in the United
States and Pobedonostseff (procurer gen.
eral of the holy synod as Russia's evil
genius. and says:
Have those who have written or in
spired the article weighed the temerity of
the chimera. a realization of which would
be insult to Russia?"
The Journals Comment.
After arguing at length the reasons for
the Russian Jewish laws the Journal pro-
ceeds:
washington says, Your restrictive laws
are barbarious. We condemn them. We
will breach them Washington claims that
Russian Jews naturalized In the United
States are entitled to escape the laws OF
the empire. or the dignity of the United
States would be surrendered. No, thou
sand times no. The prestige of the United
States will not suffer. We deny and al
ways will deny. that foreign country has
the right TO make overtures for the classifi-
cation of our population under the fiction
of rights acquired by naturalization in
America. A simple statement of the case
demonstrates it's enormtty. American cit
liens are always welcome and will always
aQjOV trea tmeQt similar to the citizens OF
other countries.
Claimed as a Right.
"But that does not prevent our specify
Ing conditions under which foreign subjects
can enter the empire. If we wished to
limit immigration, as America does; If we
wished to stop Chinese immigration. as
America does, who would deny our right to
do so? Even II we reserved to ourselves
the right OF limiting the domiciliary priv
ileges of native-born Americans who were
not Christians, we would have the right to
do so. Consequently, with greater reason,
we have the right to stop refugee Russian
Israelites who might go to the United
States and simply exchange passports to
swarm back afterward. sweep away the
territorial bikes and upon the slightest
provocatfon appeal to the ever-vigilant pro-
lection Of the consulates of the land with
which, as a matter of fact, they have no
tie. Under artificial protection they would
thus create sore body polite. Once
more, We refuse to believe that President
Roosevelt, who has given many evil
dences Of political tact, has intrusted the
American ambassador at st. Petersburg
with such mission"
Further answer has been given to Mr..
Mccormick in the matter, but all hope that
Russia will even undertake to entertain the
American proposals Is practically aban-
doned.
