Russian Diplomat
Immune in Inquiry


no disposition to protect the CossacI
general from prosecution. The Rus
sian embassy had little TO do with
Semsnoff when he passed through
Washington recently on his way tc
New York, where he had expected
TO take ship for Paris to meet the
colony of adherents OF the Kerensky
regime, and plan for the future
Though quite willing to tell all that
he knows of the doings of Semenofi
in Siberia, which is said to be very
little. Ambassador Bakhemeteff be,
lieves that he can respond to such a
call only through the. State depart
ment if he is to be bound by the
rules of diplomacy.
Some Of Them Wiling.
There are other members OF the
diplomatic body here, however, who
might be willing to consider the re-
linquishment of some of the I'M
munities thrown around them by law
in return for the privilege of ad-
dressing themselves to the great COM
mittees of congress on matters Of i'm
portancc and interest to their own
governments. Some of them are
eager to get before the ways and
means committee and the senate
finance committee on the tariff bill
and endeavor to prevent what they
regard as serious injury to trade in
terests through lack of understands
ing On the part of the committee
: men.
The present head of the State de-
partrhent is understood to be ready
to do everything necessary to stem
the tide of congressional interference
In diplomatic negotiations outside
. the regular channels controlled by
the executive branch of the govern
ment. The objection to those ir-
regular communications applies not
only TO advances from the resident
diplomatic corps 'owards congress,
but equally to moves by congress
men 10 mix in pending negotiations
by direct exchanges.
1t is by no means party mat
ter either for, as matter OF fact,
\ the Wilson administration was even
more rescntful Of such practices than
the present. Soon after he assumed
the office Of secretary OF state. Mr.,
Bryan did not hesitate to administer
! sharp admonition to Senator Borah
when the latter cabled directly to the
president Of Salvador in regard to
the Attitude Of the Salvadorean gov
ernnient towards the treaty which
was being negotiated for the regula-
tion of the rights OF Central Amer
lean countries in the construction OF
an itteroceanic congressional inter-
ference in negotiations with foreign
nations; President Wilson almost
contemptuously spurned such at
tempts and the present administra-
ton is evidently apprehensive over
the situation.
i Think Halt Necessary.
Probably for that reason, it has
been deemed timely to call halt on
suchHproceedings and hence the let
ter of Secretary Hughes to the pres
identtof the senate pointing out that
the Russian ambassador is entitled
10 immunity from the service OF
writs,by the body. And if any ques-
ton Should be raised as to the status
Of MI. BakhmAeff, as to whether OF
not he is really an ambassador, it
will be recalled by the administra-
ton that it is for the executive alone
and not congress or the courts to
pass ION that question as the consti-
tuition of the United States defining
the presidential powers reads:
HE shall receive ambassadors and
other public ministers"
