President Taft's notification to the

terminate the treaty Of 1882 after the
expiration of the required years no.
tice is to be followed by diplomatic
discussion looking to the negotiation of
new treaty. However. the new
| treaty if negotiated probably will not
contain a provision for the reciprocal
and unrestricted admission by one gov
eminent of all citizens of. the other
1t is expected. on the other hand. that
though the new treaty will make less
! broad the reciprocal pledges of the two
countries regarding treatment to be
| accorded each others citizens the net
result will be a considerable improve
| ment in the situation now so siren
uOuSy objected to by American Jews.
The solution of the problem is ex
pected by both governments to be
found in i system whereby each gov
eminent will admit citizens Of the 9th
er country vouched for by the govern
ment of that country This suggestion,
already under consideration. has not
yet been worked out in detail. 1t has
l. been proposed. however. that Il plan
; similar TO that by which Japanese la
hOrers are kept out of the United
/ States will be adopted The United
States government does not exclude
Japanese directly. but through n sol
emn pledge by the mikadO that he will
not issue passports to any OF his Sab
jects to come to this country except
under certain prescribed conditions.
1t must be borne In mind that iE a
treaty the language is identical for
both countries. and what one is pledged
#, to the other is equally bound TO fulfill.

ABROCAT|ON Of
AND THE NEW ONE
Thirty Years Of Trouble Over
Passport Question In
spired Taft's Action.

PT& Ii /. trouble between the United
II States and Russia over the
81 passport question is one OF
thirty years standing and is
due to the refusal of Russia to lei Jews
from America visit or revisit the rzars
empire.
This refusal. it is asserted. IS in dl
rect violation Of the first article Of the
treaty of 1882 between the United
States and Russia.
Thirty odd years ago the Russian
government began to establish for the
Jews in thar country what WAS known
as the pale" and many other reStric-
tons. and harassments were carried
out. so 1t has been universally charged,
the whole amounting to what came TO
he known as the Pogrom policy. This
included expulsion. massacre and refu-
sal to admit Russian Jews who had
left there or whose parents had done
so.
The Pogrom policy led to Jewish mi
grafton to America. which of late years
has assumed enormous proportions.
with the result that the passport ques-
ton now and for many years gone by
has interested the United States far
more than any other nation.
