Two civil war veterans were talking

RUSSIAN ATTITUDE TOWARD
AMERICAN TREATY PORTS
IN CHINA AGAIN DEFINED.

Washington, Jan. 10.-From an authority
conversant with Russia's position in the
far East and her attitude toward American
interests there. the Associated Press to-
cay obtained this statement:
'In view Of the wide circulation given
reports without basis in fact, charging
Russia with hostility to American inter-
est in the far East. 1t seems expedient that
the attitude Of Russia should be again de-
fined
Russia has repeatedly expressed her
intention Of assisting in the development
Of commercial interests in Manchuria,
knowing that the Chinese policy of the
United States Government Is guided
merely by an aim to develop trade and
not by political ambition. Russia has
shown her good faith by refraining from
any action which would endanger the con-
clusion of the American-Chinese CONNER
cial treaty signed on October g. That
treaty has been ratified by the throne at
Pekin and thus, through the medium of
the United States. the important ports Of
Mukden and Antung in Manchuria are
opened to the commerce Of the world.
