Attorney General Freezing began

.HARD|NGMUM
ON RUSS ISSUE
Both President and Hughes Fail
To Intimate Views on
Soviet Relations.

The Harding Administration is
two weeks old today, but as yet
there have been no hints forth
coming from the White House or
from sources close to it as to the
policy to be pursued by the new
administration with regard to
Russia.
HUGHES Is SILENT.
Conclusion of a trade agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Soviet Rus
sia has failed to produce a ripple on
official Washington SO far as outward
appearances go. SO far as can be
learned President Harding has not
discussed the Russian question with
any of his hundreds of callers, and
II he has taken up the question Sc
cretly with his Cabinet that fact has
been closely guarded.
Secretary of State Hughes mas
been equally uncommunicative con-
corning Russia. Secretary of Com
merce Herbert Hoover busy with
plans for expanding American trade
and widening the activities of his
department, also Is silent concern
ing Russa. 1t is expected that when
the Administration finally gets
around to consideration of a Russian
policy, Secretary Hoover will be the
Presidents chief adviser because of
his familiarity with European con-
ditions and trade matters.
FEELS NO NEED OF HASTE.
President Harding is underst ood to
feel that there is no immediate need
for haste in formulating a Russian
policy. The situation inside Soviet
Russia Is s6~unstable and the reports
coming out so conflicting that the new
Administration feels that the longer
definite policy is deferred the more
clarified the whole situation will be
when the job finally is tackled.
The Bureau Of Russian Affairs of
the state Department is doing little
except collate reports which come
through devious channels from Baltic
sources, and scan press reports
Considerable pressure Is being
brought to bear from labor sources
for resumption OF trade relations
with the Moscow government Ger
tain groups of American labor have
taken a leaf from the British labor
movement and are urging that Rus
sia will provide a constant outlet
for American goods. Several Sena-
tors hold similar views, but to date
their representations have been
pigeon-holed for future reference.

Washington, D. C.-President VIII
son was known as doctor at Prince
ton. but he has appeared In the role
If a physician during the past week.
It was learned here.
Acting Secretary of State Davis was
suffering from hiccOughs. The Pres
fdent wrote him note stating that
a Canadian cook had once prescribed
two tablespoonfuls Of birdshot as
sure cure for the hiccoughs. The
cook worked on the theory that the
liver "happed" up and down and
caused the hiccoughs and that the
birdshot would weight the liver down,
the President stated.
A small quantity of birdshot accom-
panied the Presidents note to Mr..
Davis.
Secretary Davis thought the pre-.
scription a good Joke.
