Foreign Minister Tchitchernerin of

Secretary Of State Hughes.
The Russian foreign secretary, in
a carefully prepared $500 word in

by polite but emphatic language, set
forth the Russian point of view on
the Russo-American relations, and

to the United States.
"From the fact that the Soviet
government serves the interests of
the laboring masses and the govern

serves the interests Of American
capitalists" the foreign minister
said, "it does not follow that a COM
promise between the two govern
