RED MINISTER SEES HOPE
FOR SOVIET in HARDING

BERLIN. Nov. s.-Tchicherin. the
Russian foreign minister. in a radio
from Moscow tells what the Soviet
government thinks of the elections
in the United States. He says:
Soviet Russia expects that the
new American administration will
have a better understanding OF
Americas external political and
commercial interests than the will
son administration had.
The policy of the new admins
tration will of course be a eapi-
tallst policy but IL will be practical
and reasonable and will be guided
by real interests. These interests
most inevitably lead TO some form
Of relations with Soviet Russia The
Soviet government takes fully into
the demands of capi-
talist governments and so is COM
pletely prepared to meet them with
the view OF securing mutual ad-
vantage.
Secretary OF State colby's chat
ter about the alleged wickedness Of
the Soviet government Is childish
nonsense. No real serious politician
pursuing Americas real interests
can talk such absurdities."
