RECOGNITION
New Forces FAVOR Rus
sian Accord
Especial to The DaIly Worker

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. That
forces hitherto opposed to recognition
Of the Soviet Union are now changing
their stand is clearly evidenced by
developments since the publication Of
the facts regarding the conference
of Soviet representatives and bankers
in New York last week.
Senator William E. Borah's resolu-
ton, known as senate resolution No.
"A, viii probably receive support that
will seriously challenge the stand of
the administration upon this issue.
American bankers who conferred
with the Soviet representatives did
not do so because they have any love
for the revolution, but because they
are interested in investments in
Europe and they now realize that the
policy of trying to outlaw Russia
among the nations of the world will
work disastrously for them. Hence,
in sheer desperation, they are forced
Ito strive to reach an agreemnt where
by they hope to bring about more
stable conditions in Europe.
Furthermore the industrialists who
have commodities to sell on the world
market feel keenly the pinch of alb
sence Of trade relations with Russia
and consider the policy of the Coo
Iidge government particularly
foolish one. Borah speaks primarily
for this group.
Hope Of Success.
The recent favorable developments
have made the Idaho senator not en-
tirely without hope of success
despite the fact the state department
returned the usual stereotyped reply
today to questions as to whether any
change in the administrator Rus
sian policy was imminent. This
reply is:
There has been no change and
there is nothing to say"
The department declined to com
ment on the fact that Soviet spokes-
men were entertained at the exclusive
bankers club last week, or to explain
how they got to the country-in view
Of the departments established policy
of excluding all foreigners suspected
of red or pink traits, as in the Karolyi
case.
Saklstvala Question Up.
Critics of the state department in
congress. however, are planning to
raise the question in connection with
the exclusion visited on the Karolyis
by Secretary Kellogg. They are going
to ask why the department permits
the ingress of accredited representa-
tives of Soviet Russia, while denying
entrance to Hungarian nobleman
and a British Communist member of
parliament, Saklatvala, who merely
expressed their belief in certain Mos
COW doctrines.
Senator Borah will have more sup
port for Russian recognition in this
session Of congress than he has ever
been able to muster in his previous
efforts.
