To the superficial view the important feature
OF Secretary Hughes reply 10 the Invitation 20
the United States 10 participate in the projected
meeting at The Hague OF a commission on Rus
sian affairs is no doubt the fact that the In
yitation is declined. In truth. however. there is
greater significance In the very positive hint

inspiriting nature might ensue. II not. Moscow
cannot blame the United States or the allies for
the tragic consequences Of Its own blindness and
obstinacy.
