President Wilson's Message to
Russian People Held .Signifi-

Moscow, Saturday, March ts.-tsy
the Associated Press.)-President Will
sons message to the Russian people
is very significant and is limited rec
oanition Of the soviet governnent, in
the opinion Of the nonsoeialist and
conservative newspaper Rannsys
Outro.
The message shows the determina-
ton of the United States not to inter-
fere in Russian internal affairs, adds
the newspaper, which continues:
. I'm these grave days there is great
moral support in. the form of intention
Of the powerful trans Atlantic repub-
lie to secure for Russia complete SOW
ereignty and independence in her own
affairs. The United States, which was
declared to be capitalistic by the boil
sheviki, proves faithful to the princi-
pies proclaimed by her and the sin
cerity OF her position was acknoWl-
edged by the bolsheviki in the hearty
reception the soviet congress gave to
the presidents message"
America inperiaIistie.
The Izvestia. the official government
organ, characterizes President Will
sons message as a document OF the
greatest political Importance and
adds:
ITO understand, consequently, its
value is essential to our cause and to
the interest of the great Russian revo-
luton"
The editorial declares that although
the United States is an imperialistic
government struggling for the Russian
market, 1t Is far less of menace than
Germany or Japan, which are near
neighbors and seek to annex Russian
territory and control the politics or
Russia, as well as to make CONNER
cial conquest.

the Izvestia, Eve could have misunder-
standings, clashes and struggles. but
also an agreement. With Germany

realize her devilish plan OF an inva-
sion of Siberia, we could have only a
death struggle"
Confident Of U. S. Aid.
After discussing the possibility OF
revolutions in Germany and Japan ana
expressing the opinion that the prole-
tariat of Japan cannot now defeat her
annexationist plans, the lzvestia says
the United States Is vitality Interested
in keeping Russia strong politlcally
and economically and it declares that
as soon as the Americans are con-
vinced OF the stability of the soviet
government they will supply RUSSIA
with money arms, locomotives ana
engineers to do away with economic
