SOVIET HEARTENED
BY HUGHES ACTION
Thinks Resignation Presages
Recognition by u. S. at
Early Date.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, January 15.-The resig-
nation of Secretary Hughes and the
suggestion in some American news
papers that his withdrawal presages
a change in the American Govern
ment's attitude toward Soviet Russia
have greatly heartened the Bolshevik
officials and press.
The belief is indulged in many
quarters that Mr.. Hughes retirement
was due directly to disa greement
with President Coolidge and his COL
leagues over the question of recog-
nizing the Soviet. and the prediction
is freely made that one of the first
acts of the new secretary, Frank B.
Kellogg, will be in the direction of
giving official countenance to the
Soviet regime.
The Bolshevik papers print de-
risive cartoons of Secretary Hughes,
usually referring to him as an un-
compromising foe of the Soviet.
Izvestia says the United States
may be prompted soon to recognize
the Soviet by the fact that the
present Russo Japanese negotiations
looking to recognition are nearing
successful termination.
Likewise, it suggests that Japan,
in the knowledge that the United
States may soon recognize Russia" /"
Is exerting every effort to bring these
discussions to an early successful
issue.

PARIS, January 15.-An official

talned in the Balfour note of 1922
Is made by the British cabinet in

BY the Associs ted Press
LONDON, January 15.-winston
ChurchiiIs accomplishments at Paris
IN connection with the interallied
oeot question are understood TO be
or much greater Importance than the
public Is aware. The chancellor Of
the exchequer attended the cabinet
meeting today and presented a de-
tailed report of his work at Paris.
The British government, 1t is
stated in official quarters, has no
hXed policy at the present time re-
garding the allied debts, but the ca BIZ
net has considered the question of a
policy and probably will be able to
make a formal announcement shortly
when the attitude of the other allies
and that of the United States is more
freely known.
The British ideas on the subject
have been several times stated in the
Balfour, Curzon and Bonar Law
notes, but these do not agree in all
respects, and there is a feeling, par
ticularly in view of the progre IS
made at Paris, that permanent Eng
lish policy should be set forth. The cab
met is expected, however, to adhere
to the main point stated in the sew
eral notes-that Great Britain is Vi
tally interested only in payments BY
her debtors of amounts sufficient to
balance her debt to America and that
it is conceivable Great Britain would
be willing to enter into an agreement
to wipe off the debts beyond this
amount.
The correspondence that passed be-
tween Mr.. Churchill and Finance Min
lister Clementel of France on the debt
question during the conference deals
with what in the main is understood
to amount to q request from France
for a definite statement of the Eng
lish attitude on the debt settlement
and an expression by France of her
willingness to settle the whole Ques-
tion as soon a s possible.
This correspondence Mr.. Churchill
brought to the cabinet meeting for
consideration. 1t may lead TO an
announcement shortly of the BIRTHS h
policy and a possible suggestion by
the British for an interallied confer
ence and an agenda for such a
meeting.
The ClementeI correspondence will
be issued this evening.
