as strong and successful man Of a.
years, manager of large factory, and
a happy husband and father. gcnia

formed by suspicion and jealousy into
a person in unccasing torment. Red

comes despair, followed by submits

him for twenty years.

The workmen demanded universal

RECOGNITION
OF RUSSIA HINGES
ON HER STABILITY
Sec'y. Hughes Declares
Soviet Must Assume
Obligations.

America will not recognize Russia
until the Soviets establish a gov
ernment that is capable of dis
charging international obligations,
and until a disposition to discharge
those obligations is evidenced.
That is the position of this gov
ernment. 1t was made known yes
terday by Secretary Hughes, in re-
ply to a petition from the women's
International League for Peace and
Freedom. The petition asked i'm
mediate recognition of the Soviet
Republic, the Far Eastern Republic.
and the autonomous states carved
out of the former Russian empire.
While Mr.. Hughes reply was ad-
dressed to the women. it constitutes
formal declaration OF policy for
the information of the world. 1t
notifies the European powers that
America will not join with them, in
event they decide to extend recogni-
ton to Russia under existing con-
ditions. The European powers are
considering this in their confer
ence at Genoa.
Will Not Give Credits.
Secretary Hughes went further
and virtually served notice on the
powers that the credit which Russia
needs, and which she is seeking at
Genoa. will not come from America
1t is idle for Soviet Russia to ex
pect credit, he declared. until condi-
tions within the country are such
as to form a basis on which credit
can be extended.
Political recognition follows the
establishment of a sound basis for
intercourse" Mr.. Hughes told the
petitioners. Political recognition
is dependent upon the existence of
a government that Is competent to
discharge and shows a disposition
to discharge its international obli-
cations. This whole matter is in
the control of those who dominate
the affairs of Russia. We are most
desirous to do what We can to aid in
Russia's recuperation. but they
must establish the basis for recu-
peration.
No Restraint Of Trade.
with respect to intercourse, it
Is quite evident that you are under
a serious misapprehension. There
are no legal obstacles to trade with
Russia. The obstacles that exist to
trade with Russia are due to the
situation in Russia, which is in the
control of those who dominate the
affairs of Russia. Some time ago /
pointed out the essential conditions
for a return to productivity in Rus
sia. That was not a formula; that
was not an artificial conception: ii
was simply a statement of fact.
ut is hardly necessary to refer
to the concern that we all feel with
respect to the welfare of the peo-
pie of Russia" he said. Our in
terest has been manifested in the
most unmistakable manner. and ]
do not think that il requires any
statement at this time to indicate
how anxious we are for the full
restoration of the economic power
of the Russian people and for their
well-being in every way.
There is no disposition to in
terfere with the Russian people in
working out their own destiny.
There is no desire to interfere in
their international affairs. The
principle involved Is one that we
cherish here. Its application as
been somewhat complicated by the
organized efforts on the part of the
Soviet regime TO interfere in the
domestic affairs of other peoples"
