 Moscow, Sept. 26.--All the facts indicate that compromise between the interests of the United States and the Russian soviet government is to be desired and that it is quite within reach, Foreign Minister Tchitcherln of Russia, declared to- day in belated reply to the pro- nouncement of American policy to- ward Russia made by Secretary of State Hughes. ."
 Holds Olive Branch
 The Russian foreign secretary, in a carefully prepared 2,500-word in- terview with the Rosta Agency, bristling with augmentation, but marked by polite, but emphatic lan- guage, set forth the Russian point of view on Russo American relations and, according to the interpretation placed upon his declarations by many persons here, held out the olive branch to the United States.
 From the fact that the soviet government serves the interests of the laboring masses and the govern ment of Secretary Hughes serves the interests of American capitalists" M Tchitcherin said, 'it does not fol- low that compromise between two governments is not possible. On the contrary, all the facts indicate that such a compromise is to be desired and that it is quite within reach"
 The Russian Debt
 Concerning Russia's debt to the United States he declared that his government already had offered to negotiate with Washington respect ing this question. He cited the re- gently concluded Anglo-R Russian treaty as showing that ''it is quite possible to make indemnity agree ments with other states, which will prove profitable to both sides"
 NJ. Tchitcherin contends that the argument of Secretary Hughes re- garding the irreconcilability of the economic policies of soviet Russia and the United States is without basis, adding the Anglo Russian agreement proves that, despite the wide difference between the eco homie systems of England and Rus sia, 1t was possible to reach an agreement on basis of equality. It apparently does not enter MT. Hughes head that such an agree ment between the United States and Russia is possible"
 Hughes Capitalist
 The Russian official gives a de- tailed sketch of Mr. Hughes career, attempting to show that he rose to power by serving American banking and capitalistic interests as opposed to the interests of workingmen. He says that Mir. Hughes present policy in regard to Russia and its popula- ton is in full consonance N4th his past activity.
 NJ. Tchitchertn accuses MT. Hughes of being the ieader in & movement of world impsnalists against soviet Russia and the col onial peoples of the world, the chief object of which, he says, is the an- initiation of soviet Russia.
 White Ar. Hughes Ss delivering pacif1st speeches" the soviet min ister continues, the imperialists, with his aid ere carrying on bloody activities in China and Georgia. De- spite the failure of their policy to- ward soviet Russia. there is ground for believing that new attempt at intervention and economic blockade will be made by imperialists in the near future. The recent statement of Mir Hughes against soviet Russia bears witness to this"
