BT ARNO DOSCH-FLECROT. CopyrisM by ffle New Tork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) MOSCOW, May 31. (Special Cable.) "Russia will not attempt to annex Polish territory," M. Tchicherin, com missioner for foreign affairs, said re cently in an Interview respecting the conditions under which Russia would conclude a peace with Poland. "Mat ters of territorial distribution will naturallly fall to the peace confer ence. The principle to be applied will be that of self-determination, of that there can be no doubt." Asked as to the probable fate of eastern Galicia, beyond the boun daries of the former Russian empire, M. Tchicherin said the people of this district ought to live under such gov ernment as seemed best to them selves. Then I asked him as to Rus sia's attitude toward the entente, particularly England. He replied Russia would be glad to make peace with England. In his view it would be possible for a so cialist state to live in harmony with a capitalist state. In former days, he said, the Russian monarch kept on good terms with republics. ' A prime condition of good relations with Eng land, he declared, is that England must cease to try intervention of any kind In Russian affairs. Remote Control Disliked. Concerning the k near east, he as serted Russia is pursuing the came policy as elsewhere, recognizing the right of all peoples, to form their government for themselves. He eaid the Dardanelles (should not be con trolled by nations remote from im mediate Interest In tr.em, but by those bordering on the Black sea and hav ing Vital interest in free passage to the Mediterranean. Concerning Armenia, he said nego tiations already are well advanced for recognition of its independence and Russia would use all its influ ence to prevent further massacres in that country. " M. Tchicherin says he believes Rus sian influence strong enough to check further persecution of Armenians and that the people there may hope to prosper in peace and security. He says that if this prediction should be right the Armenian Near East Re lief commission should have ample opportunity to become active in Ar menia. "Armenia will be left in complete Independence, so far as Russia is concerned," he said. American Friendship Hoped. Speaking of America, he said that wbile there had never been a formal state of war between Russia and the United States, he hoped good rela tions might be renewed by means of .a 'formal peace. Even without for mal negotiations, trade and commerce should Be resumed between the two countries, in his opinion. Tho attitude of Italy has been more promising, he said, than that of the other western countries. In this case the co-operatives have shown the way for peace between Italy and Russia. Yet the Italian government, he pointed out, has undergone some change of policy since the Polish offensive, and those in authority in Italy seem to have subordinated themselves once more to the entente policy. M. Tchicherin specially emphasized, at the close of the interview, the desire of the Russian government for peace with all the world, in order that Russia may develop normal in ternational trade relations. SENTIMENT IS DIVIDED pmiirpprsES view plan to AITEB KAVIGATIOX LAWS. Application of Coastwise Code of TJ. S. to Islands Causes Di vision of Opinion. MANTUA, P. L. May 13. Divided Pinion exists among business inter ests here regarding the application to the Philippines of the coastwise navigation laws of the United States. Three hundred American firms and professional men have adopted a res olution approving it. Manuel L. Quezon, president of the Philippine senate, "declared it would kill all chances of Philippine, inde pendence. f The Philippines council of state and the Philippines Chamber of Com merce, composed of Filipinos, and the Manila Chamber of Commerce, in whose membership there was declared to be a majority of British subjects, adopted resolutions against applica tion of the bill to the Philippines. The council of state and Philippines Chamber of Commerce also cabled protests to Washington. Their reso lutions said congress' action was det rimental to the trade of the islands. The Manila Merchants' association, in which American members were said to be dominant, repudiated the sig nature of the association to one of the cablegrams of protest. They said the cablegram had been signed by the secretary of the association without authority. All English language newspapers in Manila today printed editorials favor ing extension of the coastwise laws to the Philippines, as provided in the merchant marine bill. "It is easy enough to say we will . be ruined." tho Manila Dally Bulletin said, "if the proposed legislation is passed, but we have seen no argu ments supported with facts and fig ures to prove that point." "Which will be the most profitable for the future development of tho Philippines." the Times asked, "eco nomic control by the United States, which made the Philippines what they are, or economic control by foreign interests which seek only to extend their own commercial advantages? The argument that extension of the coastwise shipping laws to the Phil ippines would throttle competition and increase freight rates will not hold water." . "If the bill becomes law," the Cable News-American said editorially, "Pres ident of the Senate Quezon would use his influence to suspend improve ments and extensions of the port of Manila. We believe final action by congress should be awaited before threats are made and cabled to the United States." v Selling Out Everything in a Sensational " Housecleaning" of our Tremendous Stocks Preparatory to Remodeling the Store A STUPENDOUS COST SLAUGHTER OF ALL READY-TO-WEAR GARMENTS AND MILLINERY in a g-ehuine sacrifice of new. and desir able merchandise a wonder sale of 100 quality wearables at bargain prices.
