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
