Moscow, May 23.-A fundamental
decree recognizing property rights
within certain limits and upon which
Russia's future dealings with Ameri-
can and other foreign and local cap
ftal depend. unanimously passed the
executive committee Monday.
q While wide latitude is given cap
italistic and industrial effort, the de-
cree nevertheless, provides that every
thing must bel United to the Soviet
laws and gives the Soviet the right to
void any agreement which obviously
Is directed to harm the state"
n A special clause was added to the
law on motion of the Communistic
faction at the last moment which
makes it non-retroactive. 1t specifcal-
" denies right under the law to pre-
pr0priated on the grounds Of revolu-
tionary law up to the time of the is
sue of the decree and does not give
them. the right to demand return of
the property.
Foreigners Under the decree have
tho same rights as Russian citizens, if
they previously have secured permis-
sion from the proper authorities to
operate in Russia. The right of the
protection of the Russian court is
given to persons abroad suing on con-
tracts and other matters in Russia,
only in the event that Russian citizens
similarly have access to the courts OF
the nationals who sue in Russia.
Soviet officials Monday told The AS
ISOLATED Press they considered this
decree largely meets the condition OF

can trade in Russia. They further
declared that the law expresses the
maximum Of surrender to capitalism
Russia is ready to make. and that its

tarily and fail to cultivate it for three
