NO INTENTION u. S.
TO RESTORE RUSS
BOUNDARY LINES

New York, Jan. 13.-Details of the
policy Of the United States toward
Soviet Russia, given by Acting Secre-
tary of State Davis in letter to Alton
B. Parker. president of the National
Civic Federation, were made public
here this afternoon.
Writing January last from Wash
ington, Mr.. Davis discussed at length
questions widely published prior to the
last election and addressed to the
presidential candidates. These ques-
tions were submitted to the secretary
of state by Mr.. Parker on November
26 in letter asking for light on the
departments attitude.
The United States has no intention
officially to restore the former boun-
daries OF the Russian empire. nor to
impose on any nom Russian territories
the rule of the great Russians. Mr.. Da-
Wis explained. He characterized as
false statement that this govern
ment proposed officially to restore
Russian territorial integrity and rule
over Lithuania. Latvia and Esthonia.
Mr.. Davis letter continued:
This government has refused recog-
milton to the Soviet government. but
it's purpose has not been to oppose
her people either by blockade or in
any other manner, but rather to safe
guard the interests of the Russian
people in every way possible.
at is unqualifedly false that our
recent policy has been to refuse to
4, permit relief to be sent to that vast
portion Of Russia which is under the
control OF the Soviet government.
Since the War Tr,de Board reEula-
lions in regard to trade with Russia
were amended on July s. 1920. this is
not true.
Tho only restriction maintained
by this government opSsexport trade
with Soviet Russia Is the restriction
on the export of munitions or COM
modities susceptible Of immediate
military use. ..
"The only relief work which the
soviets will tolerate is the direct gift
Of supplies to the Soviet government to
be distributed by them as their own
largessc. Quite aside from the Ques-
tion of whether this would be polit-
ically expedient. the opinion OF AL
most all Of those experienced In such
work is that it would be impossible
to raise funds from private subscrip-
lions On that basis.
1.-THE two exceptions to this have
been. first. the Jewish joint dlstribu-
ton committee which, contrary to the
opinion Of their colleagues, have felt
that it was possible to extend relief
in Soviet Russia and the conditions
drawn up by the Soviet authorities. and
second. the American Friends service
committee (Quakers). which has been
operating almost continually in Rus
sia on a small scale under British
management.
'sThe state. department has taken
the position that it could not OFF,
cially encourage the entry into Soviet
territory Of American relief workers
SO long as the Soviet authorities con-
tinue to hold as hostages American
citizens who are not accused Of any
illegal activity, but its attitude to-
wards relief workers has been identi.
cal with that towards private business
enterprises.
ANY American citizen who wishes
to enter Russia on his own responsible
ity and without q passport can do SO
without any let or hindrance from this
