The first breach in tho commercial

Soviet Official Expresses Dis
trust of League and To-

By tn. Associated Press.


PARIS, December 1e.-George
Tchitcherin. foreign comntssar Of
Soviet Russia, who recently arrived In
Paris after visiting Warsaw, Berlin,
Geneva and other centers, took oc-
casion yesterday to express his senti-
ments on certain world affairs. These
sentiments may be outlined about as
follows:
Continued distrust Of the League NJ
Nations. lack Of confidence in the
Locarnn pact readiness to DISCUSS me
resumption of political relations with
the United States. opposition to secur-
ty negotiations in advance of general
disarmament and confidence that the
existing hostility to the Soviet repuh-
lie will lose its force little by little.
Hold. Soviet Vital to Peace.
Recent events, NJ. Tchltcherin de-
clared. have shown the immense i'm
portance of the union of Soviets in in
ternational politics and commerce.
The general settlement of inter
national affairs is impossible without
us" he said, and because we ardent
" desire friendly political and
economic relations with the whole
world we are for peace, contrary 10
the allegations Of those who repre-
sent us as disturbing element.
The way to arrive at the friendly
relations the Soviets desire. he sx-
planned was not that which has been
pointed out ~ them. They remained
hostile to tie Lea que of Nations and
they put no faith in the Locarno pact.
which the Russian foreign commits
sar deemed merely preparations for a
crusade against the Soviets.
Ready to Discuss Debts.
A distinction must be made between
old Russia and new Russia in CON
siderins debts and he illustrated the
attitude Of the Soviets on that ques-
ton by citing the word. of a French
public man--"France recognizes her
debts. but does not pay them. while
Russia refuses to recognize the debts
of the old regime. though ready to
discuss a settlement on certain con-
ditions.'
Economic relations with the United
States had already been resumed. and
he thought that this might he one NJ
the obstacles to progress toward dip
lomatic relations. adding:
Some people may be inclined to say
that since we are already able To do
business with Russia, resumption Of
diplomatic relations is not necessary
