Farmers Council Asks
u. S. to Recognize Reds

From The Tribunc's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Oppo-
sition to the United States entering
the League Of Nations, with a request
that the Soviet regime in Russia be
recognized as the de facto government
until the Russian people change the
government of their own volition, was
voiced today by George P Hampton,
managing director of tbs Farmers Ma
tional Council, in a letter to President
Wilson. His letter said in part:
Il most respectfully urge that you
exert your utmost efforts to prevent
the war which threatens the world, due
chiefly to the unjust terms Of the peace
treaties.
1t is not a question of our enter
ing the League of Nations, Our en-
trance would chiefly impose on US
moral obligation to carry out the de-
cisions OF the League OF Nations.
Thirty nations now associated in that
league have failed to stop the wars
at present going on. Our resources
would not turn this impotence into
power.
THE overwhelming majority of the
farmers of America, I confidently be-
lieve, do not favor the Soviet form OF
government, administration or policies,
but do hold that we should recognize
the de facto government conducting
the affairs of the Russian people, until
the Russian people change that gov
eminent of their own volition and in
their own way"
