NO TARIFF WAR.
Former Minister of Comn1erce Dis
cusses Treaty Abrogation.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 20.-The Rus
sian newspapers are paying small at
tention to the Russo rela-
tions. About the only article publish
ed on this subject is an interview with
NJ Timir1azen. who was minister of
commerce in the Witte cabinet, and
has taken leading part in developing
Anglo Russia commercial relations.
The former minister of commerce
says that the treaty of 1882 is old
fashioned and. primitive, the principle
of the most favored nation being OBJ
scurely formulated therein. CONNER
cia1 treaties, however, he adds pursue
solely economic objects, never politi-
cal objects. If the Jewish question
ticn of the treaty, the United States
will scarcely gain its point in a new
treaty, he thinks.
We cannot change our international
exchange says the former minister of
commerce. TO please the United
States
In the former minister's opinion the
matter will not reach a tariff war
Apart from the lack of interest and
uncertainty which characterize the
present Russian attitudes, it must be
said that appreciation and admiration
have been expressed in official circles
of the decisive manner in which Pres
ident Taft disposed of Il matter which
might have led to undesirable compli-
cations 1t is admitted that besides
lining the best traditions of tact
ful diplomacy, President Taft has done
a service for the cause of Russo Iner-
lean relations Notwithstandine the
possibilities of the future, political and
diplomatic circles appear to regard
the incident as ended at least for the
present.
