SOVIET VSAS ARE REQUIRED
Effect OF New Ruling SO Far as the
United States Is Concerned viii
be to Curtail Deportations.

Riga, Letvia.-The United States no
longer will be able to deport its undo
sirables or send unwilling Russian
residents to soviet Russia. without
previous negotiations and the consent
OF the soviet government in each in
dividual case, under the provisions OF
a soviet decision made public through
note to the Letvian government.
The note says, that. the soviet au'
thorities will not honor any transit
granted for emigrants or deportees
bound for Russia unless they also
have Russians visas. The Letyian
government has notified its consul in
New York to abide by this ruling. and
similar instructions have been sent
to England
The effect of the new ruling, so far
as the United States is concerned
will be the prevention of further de
portations from that country to soviet
Russia unless list of those deported
has been submitted officially to the
soviet government and the latter
permission for the entry OF such de
portees into Russia gained.
During the last few months, Ameri
canized Russians among the emf
grants and deportees entering Russia
have caused much difficulty there and
in many instances are said to have
been leading factors In revolts.
