DOUMA IS POLITICAL

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec %. -
Officials in Washington-at east 50
far as the democracy is concerned
was not alarmed over the reports
that the duma proposed to tax Ameri-
can commerce out of existence in
Russia, and obviously because of the
abrogation by Congress of the anti
Jewish discrimination Of the Russian
treaty of 1882.
That the Russian propositions of
the duma are wholly political in mo-
tive is proved by the fact that the
American exports to Russia are about
s4O,000,000 in value and those OF Rus
sia to the United States about $1O,-
100000 in value.
