Diplomatic relations between the

from being resumed.
The controversy which has beer
going on with reference to the au.
thenticity of the documents urging
the followers of the third interna.

Of the problem. The fact that the
Russians seem so exercised over

observe the soviets disavowing the
third internationa1e or denouncins
the doctrines which have been the
basis of soviet propaganda in the
United States.
Judging by the comments which
the episode has brought out, the
public, has missed one point that has
not failed to arouse indignation in
inner circles here. 1t relat,s to the
Russian offer to recognize certain
debts due America since the cars
regime.
On it's face the suggestion seemed
as if the Russians were beginning to
meet the American govern ,nent half

a demand that the United States

region.
Would Cancel Bill.
The Russians have been figuring If
out that for American consumption
they would recognize the war debt,
but would turn around and In the
same offer demand enough for the
occupation Of Russian territory TO
OFFSET the amount of that debt and in
effect cancel the bill.
What the United States in COM
pany with the allies attempted to do
IN the various Russian exneditionS
was TO open up approaches to the
tetiritory err or Germany and to MAIN
