to the people of that country. 1t is
his dominant thought, Mr.. Hughes
said, to find ground for helpfulness,
recuperatioh and restoration Of peace
in Russia.
Secretary Hughes remarks to the
delegation which contended that
world peace and the stability of
Europe depended on immediate rec
ognition OF. Russia by the United
States. said in part:
Net only do we not desire to in
tcrfere with the internal concerns of
RUSSIA. not only de we recognize the
right of the Russian people to develop
their own institutions, but such in
reference would be futile.
THE salvation OF Russia cannot
be contrived outside and injected.
Russia's hope lies in Russia.s action.
1t Is absolutely Impossible to deal

of the Russian people and which, un-
til they are adequately dealt with.
furnish no ground for helpfulness, no
ground for Russian recuperation.
Russia needs industry and trade,
but industry and trade cannot be
created by any formal political ar
engagements. However important
may be the facilitation Of the tram
sactions Of industry and trade
through political arrangements, still
those arrangements do not create the
basis for them. You can't support
what does not exist. xxx
Il recognize fully the distinction
between matters exclusively Of eco
nomic import, and the question of
diplomatic relations. AS l said to the
representatives of your organization
year ago, the fundamental question
in the recognition of a government
is whether it shows ability and dis
position to discharge international
obligations. Stability, of course, is
important: stability is essential. Some
speak as though stability was all that
was necessary. What, however,
would avail mere stability if it were
stability in the prosecution Of pol
icy of reputation and conffscation
I'm the case of Russia. we have
very easy test of a matter of fund
amental importance. and that is of
good faith in the discharge Of inter
national obligations. I say that
good faith is matter of essential
Importance because words are easily
spoken. OF what avail is it to speak
of assurances, if valid obligations
and rights are repudiated and prop
crty is confiscated? This is not a
question of the rich or of the poor.
It's a question of principle Only
the other day. I had a letter Stating
the case of two American women
who had been living in Russia and
invested all their savings in Russian
securities. and they are poor people,
dependent. and they are very anN-
ious to know whether these securi-
tics will have any recognition.
Our own government, after the
first revolution. loaned about $751;
mO.OOO. / may say that we were
the first to recognize the kerensky
government; that government did
not profess policy of reputation.
Now what did the Soviet authorities
do? In their decree of January u,
1913. the made this simple state
ment: Internationally. and without
any exceptions, all foreign loans are
annulled.'
