Foreign Policy Reviewed.

The State Department has under review. in
each OF the many divisions. the whole question OF
the foreign policy OF the United States during the
former administration and is planning such changes
as President Harding and Secretary Hughes deem
advisable. AS this requires not only study OF
voumnous records. but in many exchange
of views with foreign diplomats and their govern
ments. it naturally is moving slow.
The Soviet government in Russia dispatched a
cable to the United States Wednesday appealing
for the establishing of trade relations and the
moval of barriers established under former President
Wilson. The cable also announced that delega-
ton was being sent from Russia to confer with
officials here and negotiate the proper treaties Sec
retar" Hughes made the cable public but withheld
comment.
The State Department has under consideration
the modification OF passport regulations to facilitate
legitimate travel to the Old World Many OF the
regulations still in force.
The Department is awaiting a reply from Panama
to the most recent note in which the United States
announced that it would insist the boundary
separating Costa Rica established by Chief JUS
tce White, of the United States Supreme Court
acting referee. The State Department explained
that the White boundary decision is embodied in
treaties between the United States and Panama and
must be accepted.
At the direction of President Harding the Secre-
tary of State is making a survey of the diplomatic
and consular officers in the United States foreign
service. On the findings of this investigation the
necessary changes will be made. The President will,
OF course, appoint a number of ambassadors and min
isters to the important posts, but he indicated
number of men now holding diplomatic positions
might be retained If their record merited it.

Remarkable trade opportunities await United States
business houses in India and Africa according to R. A.
Lundqust trade commissioner Of the Bureau Of For
egn and Domestic Commerce. who has just returned
from two-year survey. In India he said. the door
for trade is wide open, there preferential
duties American products suffer because the houses
in the United States do not establish branches, nor
send their trade representatives. but endeavor to
market their products through importers already in
business, principally British. he stated
There is exceptional opportunity for the sale
OF electrical machinery" said Mr. Lundqust "in
