MOSCOW, February 1.-The Soviet
government stood firmly today behind
a refusal to retract statements by Vya-
cheslaff Molotofi. president Of the
Council of Commissars, that peace be-
tween Russia and Japan was threat
ened by Count Uchida, japanese for
eign minister.
Tameklchi Ota, japanese Ambassa-
dor, requested the Soviet government
to correct the erroneous impression
caused by a speech by Molotof before
a recent session of the Central Execu-
tive Committee
H. M. Karakhan. assistant Soviet
commissar for foreign affairs. replied
curtly that the Soviet government con-
sidered it unnecessary to indulge In
further discussions Of the matter.
The Ambassador declared the asser-
tions Of Molotoff did not coincide with
the facts"
Charges Made.
Molotoff charged Foreign Minister
Uchida with threatening Russo-Japa-
nese relations by speech the latter
made recently before the Japanese Diet
Accusing Count Uchida Of repeating
anti-Soviet falsehoods, Molotoff said
such attacks are not in the interest oi

gram for the World Economic Confer
ence through which. IN return for debt
relief, he hopes to establish new era

Views on Tariff.
The President-elect's views on tariff
reduction are outlined as follows:
by international negotiation as the
first and most desirable method in view
OF present world conditions, by consent
ing to reduce to some extent some OF
our duties in order to secure a lowering
of foreign walls that larger measure
OF our surplus may be admitted abroad
However, he will sanction no gen.

just now He prefers the Democratic
bill of last session putting recommen-
dations for tariff revision up to a BIZ
partisan tariff commission with Con.
gress alone acting upon these recon-
mendations which would be considered
separately.
It was disclosed by Mr.. Roosevelt
that he will ask John N. Garner oi

SIR RONALD LINDSAY SAILS.

NEW YORK. February l LP.-Sir
Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador at
Washington, sailed for London early to-
day to make arrangements with Premier
j. Ramsay Macdonald for the forth

send representatives. is scheduled to
take place in Washington shortly after
the Inauguration of Franklin D. Roose-
velt as President on March 4.
Asked If Mr.. Macdonald would re-
turn with him. the Ambassador said ::
II doubt it. I shall probably return
before any Of the British representa-
tives arrive"

price of the white metal, find little COM
fort in the agenda economists have ar
ranged at Geneva for the World None
tary and Economic Conference.
No hope is held out in the economists
report for bimetallism unless the prin-
cipal countries Of the world agree, and
the economists indicate the gold stand
ard is apparently the only one which
can gain wide acceptance at the present
time.
Incomplete copies of the report on
silver, which have just become available
in washington, show the economists be-
lieve the possible replacement Of small
paper notes by silver and the use Of
more silver in subsidiary coinage are
subjects which the conference should
explore.
The report also urges a careful study
of means to expand the use Of silver in
the industries.
Suggest Price Rise.
In the opinion Of the economists. the
best means of raising the price Of silver
in China and other countries which
rely largely on it for medium CT ex-
change is to raise commodity prices
The economists hold this would be more
beneficial to commerce than the raising
OF silver prices alone.
The economists also recommend that
the conference consider means Of in
ducing governments to organize their
sales Of surplus silver in such way
that the market will not be burdened
Edmund E. Day and John H. Will
liams represented the United States on
the committee of economists which
drafted the report outlining monetary
and economic problems which the World
Economic Conference may proftably
discuss.
No date has been set for this London
conference as yet, as Great Britain and
other debt-r powers of the United States
oesire to have it postponed until after
their debt discussions in Washington

a po sible date and many European

Misgivings Are Voiced.
Misgivings and warnings over the ap-
preaching war debts negotiations were
sounded in the Senate yesterday. with
criticism Of President-elect Roosevelt S
announced intention to deal in person
with the representatives of Great
Britain
The new airing of the debt topic
conceded with the departure of Sir
Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambas-
sador, who sailed for London from New
York last night to prepare with his
government for the discussions which
are to open here Immediately after in
auguration day.
Senator Lewis, Democrat. OF Illinois,
opened the debt debate with a speech
in which he warned the American
people against the possibility of a con-
certed drive from abroad for a new
moratorium and called for reassertion
Of the opposition of Congress to any

the President-elect WIS about to repeat
the ''mistske of President Wilson, at
the Paris Peace Conference in negoti-

ments. If Mr.. Roosevelt should agree
to an arrangement, he said, even
though Congress should disagree. the
moral obligation Of the debtor nations
would be gravelv weakened"
Lewis replied that he could not be-
lieve Mr.. Roosevelt. with his Govern
ment experience. would put himself in
the position of being discredited bv
congressional disapproval of his action.
Furthermore. he said, President Hoover
received Premier Macdonald and
Premier Laval and dealt with them
directly
He recalled how he had gone to
/ President Wilson to urge him not to
go to Paris, but instead to let an Am
bassador do the peace negotiating But
the President he recalled. thought the
American people would be more apt
to ratify that which he ratified in
person"
Reed added then that he was grave
ly worried" by the newspaper statement
that Mr.. Roosevelt intended to include
nations that have defaulted in debts
discussion.
THAT would mean" he said, "he
would exchange one promise that is no
good for another that is no better. 1
