Recognition of Soviet Gov-
 ernment Hinges Upon Aban-
 donment of Red Propaganda and Ability and Dlsposl-
 ton to Uphold Contracts
AMERICA IS NOT HOSTILE TO PEOPLE OF RUSSIA
Secretary of State Declares Washington Has Received No Assurance That Moscow Leaders Will Now Discharge
 Obligations to Other Nations

WASHINGTON. March 21.-Condi tions on which the United States will extend diplomatic recognition to Soviet Russia are:
 l. Abandonment of revolutionary directed at other coun- tries, particularly America.
 2. Ability and a disposition to dis charge international obligations.
 These two requirements were laia down officially by Secretary Hughes in addressing a delegation of the women's committee for recognition of Russia. Hughes statement con- stitutes the latest outline of the American governments position in view of the agitation for recognition of the soviets. which has grown strikingly in the last few weeks, es- pecially since Senator Borah of Idaho began his series of speeches attack ing the Harding Hughes Russian policy. Unlike Borah, Hughes is not convinced that Russia has changed her policy regarding the sanctity of contract.
 Hughes emphasized that the United States has no desire to interfere with the international affairs ot Russia; that the Russian people have a right to develop their own institu tions, and that the United States is not seeking to press Russia for debt payments beyond her means.

 In view of attacks in Congress at the time $6.500,000 appropria- ton was made for "modernzing" American ships, and the develop ments brought by the British dis claimer considerable study was be- ing given today to the convention which set up the 5-5-3 ratio.

How African Women store Water.

The strangest people In the world,
according to Mrs. Harry Kaigh Eus-
tace. are the women Of the bush tribe
in the Gordonia desert, central south
west Africa. These women, she says,
have developed glands In the back in
which they store water like camels.
When they drink a great deal of water
the glands make them appear de
formed. After few days in the desert
with little or no water their reserve
supply is absorbed and they look
normal. They can go without water
longer than "A camel.
