Administration Stands Pat.


Washington, May 16.-The admin
istration today stood pat on its de-
termination not to recognize the
soviet government of Russia.
Allied dealings with Russia at
Genoa, and attempts in congress to
force recognition, have failed to
change the administrations attitude.
This was clearly shown today in
the note of Secretary Hughes reject
ing the invitation to the United
States to participate in an allied
conference at The Hague June 15, at
which Russian affairs will be dis
cussed
Must Have Reform.
The American government makes
plain that it will not consider recog-
milton of Russia or enter negotiations
regarding the soviet until funda-
mental reforms are instituted by the
bolshevists.
The United States, however, is
ready to put its views to the test by
Joining an allied commission to in
yestigate what is wrong with Russia
and what are the remedies. 1t is
considered that such commission, by
making a real investigation of the
Russian situation would come to the
same conclusion held by this gov
ernment, namely, that the basis for
the economic reconstruction OF Rus
sia and resumption Of international
relations lies only in soviet guaran-
tees of the safety of life and prop
erty, of the sanctity of contracts and
the rights of free labor.
Until the soviet clearly gives these
guarantees, it is futile to negotiate
with the Russians in the hope or
effective economic restoration III
their country, this government holds.
