Commission viii Be
Named by Coolidge
To Negotiate.

Assoclation.)
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Diplo-
matte relations between the United
States and Russia will be resumed
this year, II the Soviet government
modiies certain OF its external
policies. y
The Washington government is
prepared to discuss recognition with
the Moscow government. The time
and place have not been determined,
but the method. namely. the selec-
o OF n commission, has found
favor with both President Coolidge
n Senator Borah. chairman OF the
senate foreign relations committee.
Mr.. Borah is planning a trip to
Europe shortly after the adjourn
ment of congress and this may lead
to conferences with Russian officials
out OF which further steps will come
or Else the commission may be
named In advance. with Senator
Dorah at the head OF It,.
When Mexico and the United
States became deadiocked through
diplomatic correspondence. President
Harding determined to send a COM
mission which did not hive tho
power either to grant or promise
recognition, but to secure an agree
ment on which the essential point,
OF difference really were. with an
outline OF how each country pro-
posed TO resolve those differences.
The report was signed by the repre-.
sentntives of each country as ar
accurate record OF their conyersa.
tons and proceedings but before il
could become nm agreement between
inc two countries 1t had to be-
rntihed by the president md secre-
tary OF state OF each country.
NJ Russian problem can he
nandied by the same formula. 1t
disposes OF the argument that rscos.
ntion is extended on condition and
at the same time Il places each gov.
eminent definitely on record 10 that
a change OF policy can be made n
l~ustinoatio for n Withdrawal of
recognition Mt any time.
Until now. the department OF state
a refused even to talk about recor.
milton. Considering criticism of this
policy has been voiced in America
by the so.called radical or liberal
eIenients who have not understood
mat Secretary Hughe. knew 1ust
what the Russians would decline 10
90 ana hence he felt that discussion
was futile.
