April 21. L N. S.) Regardless of whatever 4 action the "big three" of San Remo might take in regard to soviet Russia, this coun try has no intention of recognizing her diplomatically at this time. This information came today from a high authority from whom it also was learned that within a short time a new Russian policy will be adopted by the United States, whereby trade relations may be resumed at the risk of the trad er. At the present time the allied countries refuse to permit trading with soviet Russia, America among the rest. Clearance papers are refused to ves sels bearing goods. for Russia by virtue of the war time measure making it un lawful to export goods of any kind from the United States to any country, en emy or neutral, "if the public safety shall so require." EARLY CHANGE EXPECTED This status, it is understood, will be changed at an early date. American firms, it is said, will shortly be given permission to sell anything they choose to the Russians, providing they do so at their own risk and will not hold the government responsible for losses if losses are incurred in such trade. hands of a receiver.
