MELLON OPENS GATE
FOR SOVIETS' GOLD
Ban on Metal From Sweden.
Imposed by Wilson Admin

One OF the first important constructiye
steps taken by the Harding Administra-
ton from the point OF view of finance
came 70 light yesterday through in
formation that the United States Assay
Office had received instructions from
Andrew W. Mellon, Secretary OF the
Treasury. 10 accept gold bearing the
mint stamp of any country friendly to

Sweden, the natural source for an
indirect outflow OF the yellow metal from
Soviet Russia. Bankers were informed
OF the instructions on Tuesday and al
ready there has been engaged In Sweden
for shipment TO the United States an
aggregate Of s25,o0o.o0o in gold.
The ruling supersedes the attitude or
the Wilson Administration, which de-
oided that any gold from Sweden was

Of evolution continue to a point where
real stabilizstion and nornlality are once
more established in that country.
On the political side il is fully real
fzed that Great Britain aims 10 stop
Russian propaganda in the Near and Far
East, with special reference TO her In
dian possessions and the pathway 10
them which she has obtained as result
of tie war
'.he statement made by Premier Lloyd
George contained IN Ine press dispatches
OF this morning leaves no doubt as to
the effect OF the trade agreement in it's
relationship TO political recognition.
The British Premier is quoted as saying
1t means IN effect recognition or the
present Russian Government as 4 de
facto government, which is naturally
the first toward full political recognI-
tion.
All these facts are recognized by the
American Government in its considcra-
tion OF the problem, but there is more
than that TO the situation from the
American viewpoint. France is about
to open negotiations with the United
States in an effort to rearrange after
war relations
Russia becomes tie bone or conten-
ton in these negotiations Great
Britain lis credited with the desire to
supplant French interests in Russia,
while France, aining to establish her
Continental leadership, is expected to
regard British prinacy in Russia with
suspicion. Accordingly. it is expected
here that NJ viviani will endeavor 10
convert the Harding Administration to
the view OF the French relative to
Russia.
Whatever the two leading allied
Powers may urge. so far as this coun-
try's Russian policy is concerned. it is
recognized that the Administration OF
President Harding will have a free
hand in dealing with It. One OF the
last things done by the Wilson Admin
istration was TO propose coordinated
Russian policy to the European Powers.
No consideration wes given to the pro-
posal and the British trade agreement
followed. The proposal carried with it
the suggestion that without a coor-
dinated policy one OF f-advantage
would probably be inaugurated. Moth
ing was said indicating that this Cow
ernment might be compelled TO partici-
pate in that kind of programme. but
the inference was plain that such might
be the result.
The Washington Government accord
ingly finds the record made clear and
may take any course il sees fit, since
refusal to join in a coordinated policy
comes from Europe and not from this
country.
Government officials to-day refused
TO say whether or not they would
authorize the wise OF the passports OF
tho delegates which the Soviet Govern
mcnt will seek to send TO this country.

that President Harding and the State

which may have been in the possession

During the ban placed on the accepts
ance OF gold from Sweden by the United

were made to induce bankers here to ac-

Hoover stand Not In conAict.

In some quarters this afternoon there
was r disposition to consider the state
ment of Secretary OF Commerce Hoover
on Monday that trade with Russia was
physically impossible under present con-
ditions as being in conflict with the
optimistic attitude OF the State Depart
nent to-day But on examination It
appeared that no discrepancy existed /;
since Mr.. Hoover predicated his REMARKS
pom the fact that the present form OF
government in Russia prevented the
holding OF private property and other
wise destroyed the very fundamentals OF
commercial systems. The State De-
partnent's attitude is based on the hope
that these practices will be abandoned
as promised by Lenine.
Secretary Hoover said this afternoon
that until he had chance to examine
carefully the official text of the Soviet
wireless appeal and learn positively the
nature OF the proposed changes in the
Russian governmental policy, and then
discuss the political phases OF the subject
with Secretary Hughes, he would refrain
from commenting on the new turn in
affairs.

these stores and give money TO Rus
