mas INFORMED ri SSTA OF OUR
DESIRE TO TERMINATE IT.
And lie sensd a special Message 10 the
senate Asking Thnt Body to Approve
and Ratify Ills Action--Joint Resolu-
ton introduced win That object.

WASHINGTON, Dec lS-1he treaty OF
1882 with Russia against which the Jews
Of this country have been protesting for
giving serious offence TO the Cars Cow
ernment. Formal notice has been served
on the Government at ST. Petersburg of
the intention of the United States to end
the treaty on January /, 1913 President
Taft took the situation into his own hands
and through the United States Amhassa-
dor at st Petersburg last Sunday made
the first move toward the cancellation of
the treaty. The President to-day notified
the United Statee Senate of his action aud
asked for the approval and ratification
of that body.
President Taft's procedure in terminal
ing the treaty was in marked contrast to
the method proposed by the House of
Representatives in the Sulzcr resolution.
Instead Of boldly accusing Russia nf hav-
ing violated the terms Of the treaty frcsl-
dent Taft served notice of the desire of
the United States to terminate IL on the
ground that 1T is no longer responsive to
tho political and material relations Of the
two countries" and because the treaty
has given rise from time To- time 10 cor
tain controversies equally regretted 10y
both Governments
tn" President not only refraiued from
any direct reference to discriminate on
.,I Vu roll httf
the opportunity to emphasize the long
standing friendly relations between the
two Governments aud To express an earn
est hope for their continuance and the
final negotiation Of another treaty Of
friendship, commerce and navigation.
As a result of the Presidents diplomat lC
handling OF the situation any likelihood
OF Russia regarding the termination Of the
, treaty a. an aGront has disappeared and
State Department officials are certain that
the relations of the United States with
| Russia will continue on the same cordial
basis that has existed for years. There
| l. good reason to believe that Russia has
already informed this Government that
/ she l. willing TO enter into a discussion
with view to negotiating a new treaty
