My dear Mr.. Litvinoff:
I thank you for your letter of No

Soviet Government is prepared to grant
to nationals of the United States rights
with reference to legal protection not
less favorable than those enjoyed in
the Union OF Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies by nationals of the nation most
favored in this respect. have noted
the provisions of the treaty and pro-
tocol concluded between Germany and
the Union of Soviet Socialist Repub-
lies on October -. 1925.
I am glad that nationals of the
United States will enjoy the protection
aHorded by these instruments immedi-
ateIy upon the establishment of rela-
tlonS between our countries and I am
1ully prepared to negotiate a consular
convention covering these subjects as
soon as practicable. Let me add that
American diplomatic and consular Of
tlcers in the Soviet Union will be zeal
Gus in guarding the rights of American
nationals, particularly the right to a
fair. public and speedy trial and the
right to be represented by counsel of
their choice. We shall expect that the

In reply to a question of the President
in regard to prosecutions for economic
espionage, Mr. Litvinoff gave the fol-
lowing explanation:
The widespread opinion that the
dissemination of economic information
from the Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publlcS is allowed only in so far as this
information has been published in
newspapers or magazines. is erroneous
The right to obtain economic informa-
tion is limited in the Union of Soviet
socialist Republics. as in other coun-
tries, only in the case of business and
production secrets and in the case of the
employment of forbidden methods
tbrlbery, theft. fraud. etc. to obtain
such information. The category of
business and production secrets natural
ly includes the official economic plans.
III SO iar as they have not been made
pubic, bu. not individual reports con-
cefnng production conditions and the
general conditions Of individual enter
PriseS.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Re-
publicS has also no reason to compli-
cate or hinder the critical examination
OF ltS economic organization. 1t natu-
rally follows from this that every one
mas the right to talk about economic
matters or to receive information about
such matters in the Union, in so far
as the information for which he has
asked or which has been impaired to
MN is not such as may not. on the
basis of special regulations issued by
responsible otnclals or by the appropri-
ate state enterprises, be made known
TO outsiders. (This principle applies
primarily to information concerning
economic trends and tendencies 5"
