The official British position regarding
Russia-one of watchful waitlng-is no
more affected by the reports from
Moscow that Lenine has become re-
spectacle" in abandoning his plan for a
world revolution abroad and strict COM
munism at home than IL is by Great
Britain's own signature to the Anglo
Russian trade agreement. One official
here told THE NEW YORK HERALD CORE
spondent to-day that all these were in
dications but that before deciding
definitely what TO do with Russia-the
first step would be to permit the COM
mencement of negotiations in connec-
ton with a real treaty-the Soviets
would have to prove their words by their
deeds.
The first touchstone In Russia's good
faith is regarded to be the manner in
which the Moscow Government observes
the Russo-Polish peace treaty. 1t was
admitted that so far they have shown
a disposition to observe faithfully the
Riga compact.
British officials admitted thai men
familiar with the Russian situation were
in all the border States. but they in
sisted that as vet there We're no plans
to send these men into Russia.

at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow.
President Harding and all his advisers
seem TO be united on the understanding
that the economic reconstruction OF
Russia is almost a world necessity, bur
many questions will have to be deter
mined before this Government can move
or give its consent and approval to pri-
waite efforts.
1t was learned in State Department
circles to-day that news from Russia
tends to corroborate the Geographic adj
vices concerning the announced change
in position made by Lenine, contained Ia
THE NEW York HERALD's exclusive re-
port. No attempt was made TO interpret
what this change in attitude might
mean. 1t appears that the department
has its own agents In Europe. who are
In close touch with the Russian situa-
ton, and that advices from them indicate
that Lenine long has been considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of a change of front.

patches of their own OF similar tenor,
according to State Department advices.

POLES TALK OF APPEAL

u. S. Representative Might Be
Put on a Tribunal

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Polish Off
Gals here expressed the opinion to-day
, that Poland might appeal to the Council
of Ambassadors and to the League Of
Nations from the result of the Upper
Silesian plebisclte should the official
count be conhrmatory Of the German
victory unoficially reported to-day.
Should an appeal be made 70 the

impartial tribunal might be asked TO
review the plebiscitc. In such case
II was suggested that q representative

II became known to-day that last
November request was made 70 the

which. it was charged. Ciepfany was re-
sorting in order to further her designs
upon the territory.
In a note to the state Department OF
November 8, 1920. the attention Of the
american Government was called by the
means of resistance and defence TO de-
feat the purpose Of the plebiscite" which
the German Government was organizing.
''It Is of the utmost value" it was fur
Their represented, that the United states
Government should realize how import
ant looms before the world at present
the question whether Upper Silesia will
be allowed to remain attached 10 Ger
many or will be allotted 10 Poland.
''on that question hinges entirely the
future of German militarism, for with
out Silesia Germany is sure never to be
able to undertake her revenge.
1.-The Polish Government considers II
nacessary TO represent this condition and
to bring to the attention OF the United
States that the peace OF Erope will
Erealy depend on the issue which the
present Developments are allowed to take
by those who are called upon to insure

tcnce based on those principles which
America was first 10 lay down in obtain

In second note in December the Polish
Government furnished the state Depart
inent with documentary evidence Of the
alleged abuses which, ii was asserted,
the German Government was practising
IN the effort to poll a vote favorable to
Germany in the pleblscite.
Among the alleged abuses there were
recalled to-day the return to Upper Silesia
OF GssSaans from America for the pur-
pose Of voting, as reported in press des-
patches, despite the refusal OF the State
Department 70 the informal request Of
the German Government that natives Of
Upper Silesia residing in America should
be permitted TO leave the United States
Tor this purpose. 1t was represented by
The United States at the time that ais

vate creditors claims are approximately
$50. 900.

various creditors, claiming by far the
greatest share for the Government, while
private creditors would get relatively

delay in trade between the two countries,

There can be no trade with Russia,
and at best but very limited amount
of trading with Russians, so long as
present political and economic condi-
tons obtain among the Siavs. in the
opinion of Herbert Hoover, Secretary
Of Commerce.
In statement to-day on the situa-
ton with respect to Russia, in the
light of dispatches to the effect that
Lenine had thrown over the radical,
political and economic ideas OF his
Communist or Soviet Government, the
Secretary said:
1.-THE question of trade with Russia
is far more a political question than
an economic one so long as Russia is
in the control of the Bolsheviki. I'm
der their economic system no matter
how much they moderate it In name,
there can be no real return to produce
ton in Russia, and therefore Russia
will have no considerable commodities
to export, and consequently no great
ability to obtain imports.
There are no export commodities
in Russia to-day worth consideration,
except gold, platinum and jewelry, in
the hands OF the Bolshevik Government.
The people are starving. cold, underclad.
If they had any consumable commodities
they would have used them long since.
Nor can trade with Russia under
government that repuoiates private
property be based on credit. Thus the
whole question from a trade point of
view develops into furnishing commodi
ties equal to the gold, platinum and
1ewery, variously estimated from $780,
600 900 to 100000, 900, in the hands
or the Bolshevik Government, and after
that has been expended there can be
little expectation OF continued trade.
There has been no prohibition. on trade
for a long time so far az exchange of
commodities is concerned. Trade is
open through the Baltic States and
Italy has been trading in the south
The real blockade has been the failure
Of the Russians to produce anything
except gold and platinum to trade with
Europe cannot recover its economic
stability until Russia returns to produc-
ton"

and the questions Of Russian trade will
