SOVIET HOPE
FOR A WORLD
REVOLT FADES
Tchitcherin Discusses Foreign
Situation Generally-Sees
Tariff As Aid to Russia.
by GEORGES POPOFF.
International News Service.

MOSCOW. Nov. 13.-Hope for a
world revolution. for which the
Eolshevists have been striving ever
since they came into power, has
dwindled, II was admitted today by
George Tchitcherin. Peoples Commits.
sar for Foreign Affairs in the Soviet
government.
Tchitcherin was asked TO discuss
the probable effect of the United
States election upon Russo-American
relations, but declined to do so. He
said, however. that he believed the
new American tariff would help
Russia by directing European ex.
ports 10 Russia instead Of to the
United States.
The evacuation Of Nladivostok
by the Japanese may effect Russo
American relations because IL re-
moves one Of the geographic
obstacles to American trade with
Russia and Siberia" said Tchitcherin'
Discussing the Near East peace
conference Tchitcherin said:
"Postponement of the Lausanne
parley means that the allies are
striving to prevent Turkey from
realizing her national aspirations. A
vaciilating policy Of the allies towards
Turkey will increase the prospect
for an agreement between Russia
and Turkey. although there are nc
signs OF a Russo.Turkish federation
at present
II was at this point that the
foreign minister said he did not be
lieve that n world revolution was
near although some of the speakers
addressing the Third Internationale
had indicated a contrary belief.
Tchitcherin pointed out that II
revolution should break out In
Germany, followed by allied inter
ference. II might cause a new
catachlysm.
Soviet officials declared today that
they regarded the Washington con
vention regarding the Chinese East

Because OF the preponderance OF
