No Infringement of Treaty

Article T. OF this treaty provides for the
free entry Of all American citizens Oh the
sole condition that they observe the In =
ternal laws OF the empire. This stipula- =
ton is reproduced in all treaties with
other powers. Therefore. there has been
no question OF infringement OF the treaty,
but actually one Of modification OF the
internal statutes. which can be done only
by legislative means
merely one OF relations between the
United States and Russia this question
might be matter for diplomatic nego-
tiation. But the Russian statutes having
reference 10 the question do not concern
American Jews alone, bur all foreign
Jews. \ concession TO the United states
would mean concession 10 all other
countries having Jewish subjects.
Russia the officials gay. has no wish
for bargain. and they ask, What can
America concedc In Russia for the aboli
tlon OF Jewish legislation"
