RECOGNITION
SOUGHT BY
SOVIET REGIME
Note Sent to American Am
bassadOr at Berlin Asks
For Conference

Moscow, Sept. l5.-A note which
is considered reply to the unoffi-
cial inquiry of the United States
as to whether an American techni-
cal committee would be welcome in
Russia states that Soviet Russia lis
ready to enter official preliminary
negotiations for the reestablish-
ment Of official relations with an
American delegation appointed for
this purpose"
The note which was sent by For
eign Minister Tchitcherin to Ber-
lin for delivery to American Min
lister Houghton, suggests that the
preliminary negotiations might be
held in the United States, in Rus
sia or in some other country to be
determined. t..
The Soviet government, the note
states, "is particularly interested
in any move which might soon
bring the reestablishment of eco
nomic relations between Russia and
America, it being understood that
such relations will be based on
and in the interests of both
concerned. The Soviet government
heartily welcomes any tendencies
in the direction of reciprocity,
which will enable each country to
study the economic condition of the
other. w. T..
Sowing to the fact that the So
Wet government desires closer re-
lations, with the United States it
cannot consider exactly just one
sided proposal for sending an in
vestigating commission to Russia"
Such action, the note continues,
might be regarded by public opin-
ion as not in conformity with the
principles of equality, and might
cause a sentiment unfavorable to
the durability of the future rela-
tions between the two countries.

In the Lone Star State, as in other

could make her.
The vessel has thirteen water-tight
compartments. Shipping men who
have inspected her have declared that
even if she were cut in twain each
half would remain afloat..
From the standpoint of comfort, moth
ing has been left undone to make her
a luxurious vehicle for sea travel. She
carries two classes Of passengers, first
and third Full attention has been
given to the cuisine and amusement IA

Captain Frank T. Burkhart, who is
impresario as well as navigator, said
before he sailed that he had adopted
as his slogan "a bas ennui," which
properly translated means Filipino

in the United States navy during the
war. The captain said they were not
only at home in jazz but that they
could venture as well into the realm of
grand opera. He promised plenty of
dancing on the decks in good weather.
