NUMBER 13
I), S. RECOGNITION
IS UP TO RUSSIA
Soviet Must First Adopt a Pol
icy of Reconstruction, De
clares Hughes,
Washington, D. C. The American
government stands uushaken in Its
determination that Russia must put
her own house in order before she can
expect political recognition by the
United States.
.Making his first statement of policy
regarding Russian affairs Bince the
subject came to the fore at Genoa,
Secretary Hughes told a delegation of
women at the state department that
before any outside power could re
some full relations with Russia she
must herself adopt a policy of sound
Internal reconstruction, He added
thai the American people were anxi
ous to do all they could, but would not
attempt to extend credit where there
was no sound basis for it.
No particular form of government
was cited as desirable or undesirable
by the secretary, nor did he mention
any of the developments which have
Influenced the fortunes of the soviet
since ths Genoa conference began. He
d d suggest, however, that the prin
cl le oi b If governmi at In Russia was
"scmewhat complicated" by the et
01 a of some soviet officials to inter
fere In the domestic affairs of other
nations.
The delegation to which the secre
tary addressed his pronouncement
represented the International league
for peace and freedom and had
brought to the slate department a
petition for full political recognition
Of the soviet regime.
