WILLIAMSBURG, Mass. August q
Recommendations that the United
States work out basis for negotiations
through which the Soviet government
can be recognized by the United States
Government and that "a new Dwight
Morrow be given a chance to see what
he can do in Russia were made today
by Paul D. Cravath, New York lawyer
Speaking before the Russian Confer
ence of the Institute of Politics which
crowded the hall to capacity, Mr..
Cravath said:
II think We should take advantage
Of the first opportunity offered to sit
around a table and discuss this pri-
mary problems there a basis on
which the United States can recog-
niZe the Soviet government? I would
not seek the opportunity-but when the
opportunity came. think that if the
Government agreed-that if it got
abroad it would be entertained-the Of
fer might come.
I'VE all agree that the Soviet gov
eminent is firmly entrenched in Rus
eia and will be there for years to come
I think We will agree 1t is willing and
able to perform its national obligations
It has done So
Cites Mexico As Example.
Drawing a parallel between the facts
that the United States did not at first
recognize the Mexican government and
that it has not accorded recognition to
the Soviet regime, Mr.. Cravath said:
q 10 UTall nuyi0
Morrow be appointed Ambassador to
the Soviet. With the Soviet officials we
might work out problems to a satisfac-
tory conclusion. So I say that when
the time comes. let us give a new
Dwight Morrow chance to see what
he can do"
George e. Sokolsky, editor of the Far
Eastern Review and an American citizen
of Russian extraction, told the confer
ence that Communists have taken pos
session of China on behalf of Soviet
Russia
For six years Soviet Russia has used
China as the springboard of the world
revolution he declared. IF Soviet
Russia persists in the role, there can be
no hope for peace in China"
He quoted from a Bolshevik paper
reporting on the favorable" situation
in China and tending to show that lead
ing under the direction of the Com
nnunist party and that this army is in
Vincible."
Disagree on Convict Labor.
The question of employment of con-
act labor by the Soviet Union in the
production of export material brought
brisk disagreement between Peter A.
Bogdanov, chairman of the Amtorg
Trading Corporation, and Paul Scheffer,
Washington representative OF the Ber-
liner Tageblatt.
Mr.. Bogdanov attacked the statement
by Mr. Scheffer to the effect that thou
sands OF convicts on Soloveski Island
and the contiguous archipelago were
forced to cut trees at the point OF re-
volvers which can shoot" He declared
that there were no forests on Soloveski
Island and cited the recent decision OF
the United States Treasury to hit the
embargo on several cargoes OF RUSSIAN
pulpwood as proof that the United
States Government was satisfied that
convict labor had not been utilized in
their production.
Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond, *:
C.. B.. former president Of the Royal
Naval War College, addressing the con-
ference tonight on Principles OF naval
Disarmament" advocated that every
nation make a plain declaration OF
policy as to the size Of navy needed 1or
Its security.
''It is the most complete fallacy TO
Imagine that what are called battles
can only be fought by ships OF vast
size" he said. mo more decisive battle
can be fought by fleets OF 5O,O0O-ton
ships than by fleets Of l,0Oo-ton SHIPS
