Must Protect Interests.
, "Until that time shall arrive, the
lVrd State? feels that friendship
ani honor require that Russia's in
livckts must be generously protect
ed, and that, as far as possible, all
decisions of vital importance to it,
and especially those concerning its
sovereignty over the territory of the
former Russian . empire, be held in
abeyance. ' '
"By this fueling of friendship and
honorable obligation to the great
nation whose brave and heroic self
sacrifice contributed so much to the
successful termination of the war,
th: government of the United States
was guided in' its reply to the
Lithuanian national council on Oc
tober 15, 1919, and in its persistent
refusal to recognize the Baltic
states as senarate nations independ
ent of Russia, The same spirit was
manifested in the jiote of this gov
eminent of March 24, 1920, in which
it was stated, with reference to cer
tain proposed settlements in the
Near East, that 'no final decision
' should or can b'? made without the
consent of Russia'
"In line with these important dec
larations of policy, the United
States withheld its approval from
the decision of the supreme coun
cil at Paris recognizing the inde
pendence of the socalled republic
of Georgia and Azerbaijan, and so
instructed its representatives in
southern Russia, Rear Admiral
Newton A. McCully. Finally,
while gladly giving recognition to
the independence of Armenia, the
government of the United States
has taken the position Jthat the final 1

co-operation and agreement. Not
only is Russia concerned because a
considerable part 'of the territory ot
the new state of Armenia, when it
Buuii uc uciincu, ionneriy Deiongea
to the. Russian empire, equally im
portant is the fact that Armenia
must have the good will and the
protective friendship of Russia if it
is to remain independent and free.
'These illustrations show with
what consistency the government of
the United States has been guided
'in its foreign policy by a loyal
friendship for Russia. We are un
willing that, while k is helpless in
the grip of a nonrepresentative gov
ernment whose only sanction is
brutal force, Russia shall be weak
ened still further by a policy of dis
memberment, conceived in other
thin Russian interests.
"With the desire of the allied
powers to bring about a peaceful so-'
It'tioij o.f the existing difficulties In
Europe, this government is, of
course, in hearty accord, v and will
support any justifiable steps to that
end. It is unable to perceive, how
ever, that a recognition "of the so
iet regime would promote,, much
Jess, 'accomplish this object, and it
is. therefore, averse to any dealings
with the soviet regime beyond the
most narrow boundaries to which a
uil Ul Alt dl can DC
confined.
"That the present rulers of Rus
sia do not rule by the will or the
. consent of any considerable propor
tion of the Russian people is an
incontestable fact. Although near
ly two anq a nan years nave passed
since they seized the machinery of
government, promising to protect
the constituent assembly against al
leged conspiracies against, it, they
have not yet permitted anything in
the nature ol a popular election. At
the moment when the work of cre
ating a popular representative gov
eminent, based upon universal suf
frage, wa nearing completion, the
boli.heviki, although in number an
inconsidarable minority of the peo
ple, by force and cunning seized the
powers and machinery of govern
ment and have continued to use
them with savage oppression to
maintain themselves in power,
Will Consider Help.
"Without any desire to interfere in
the internal affairs of the Russian
people or ' to suggest what kind of
government they should have, the
government of the United States does
express the hope that they soon will
find a way to set up a government
representing their free will and pur
pose. When that times comes, the
United States will consider the meas
ures of practical .assistance which can
be taken to promote the restoration
' of Russia, provided Russia has not
taken itself wholly out of the pale of
the friendly interest of other nations,
by the pillage and oppression of the
Poles.

Little Faith in Promises.
"The responsible leaders of the re
gime have frequently and openly
boasted that they are willing to sign
agreements and undertakings with
foreign powers, while not having the
slightest intention of observing such
undertakings or carrying out such
agreements. This , attitude of disre
gard of obligations voluntar:!' en
tered into, they base upon the theory
that no compact of agreement made
with a nonbolshevist government can
have any moral force for them. They
have not only avowed this 'as a doc
trine, but have exemplified it in prac
tice "Indeed, upon numerous occa
sions the responsible spoilsman of
this power and its official agencies
have declared that it is their under

ness to give 'assurances' and 'guar
antees' that they will not abuse the
privileges and immunities of diplo
matic agencies by using them for
this purpose. In view of their own
declarations, already referred to,
such assurance and guarantees can
not be very seriously regarded.
Moreover, it is within the knowl
edge of the government of the
United States that the bolshevist
government is itself subject to the
control of a political faction with
extensive international ramification's
through the third internationale, and
that this body, which is heavily sub
sidized by the bolshevist govern
ment from the public revenues of
Russia, has for its openlv avowed
aim the promotion of bolshevist
revolutions throughout the world.
"The leaders of the bolsheviki
have boasted that their promise of
non-mterfence with other nations
would in no wise bind the agents of
this body. There is no room for
reasonable doubt that such agents
would receive the support and pro
tection of any diplomatic agency the
bolsheviki might have in other coun
tries. Inevitably, therefore, the
diplomatic service of the bolshevist
government would become a channel
for intrigues and the propaganda of
revolt against the institutions ana
laws of countries with which it was
at peace, which would be an abuse
of friendship to which enlightened
governments cannot subjeet them
selves. No Common Ground.
"In the view of this government,
there cannot be any common ground
upon which it can stand with a
power whose conceptions of inter
national relations are so entirely
alien to its own, so utterly repug
nant to its moral sense. There can
be no mutual confidence or trust, no
respect even if pledges are to be
given and agreements made with a
cynical repudiation of their obliga
tions alerady in the minds of one of
the parties. We cannot recognize,
hold official relations with, or give
friendly receptions to the agents of a
government which is determined and
bound to conspire against our in
stitutions: whose diplomats will be
the agitators of dangerous revolt:
whose spokesman says that they sign

agreements with no intention of
keeping them.
'"To summarize the posif'on of
this government, I would say,
therefore, in response to your excel
lency's inquiry, th.M it would regard
with satisfaction a declaration by
She allied and associated powers
that the territorial integrity and true
boundaries of Russia shall be re
spected. These boundaries should
properly include the whole of the
former Russian empire, with the ex
ception ' of Finland proper, ethnic
Poland, and such territory as may
by agreements form a part of the
Armeian state. The aspirations of
these nations for mdependence are
legitimate. Each was forcibly an
nexed, and their liberation from op
pressive, alien rule involves no ag
gressions against Russia's tarrtorial
rights, and has received the sanc
tion of the public opinion of all free
peoples.
Such a declaration presupposes
the withdrawal of all foreign troops
from the territory embraced by
these boundaries, and in the opin
ion of this government, should be
accompanied by the announcement
that no transgression by Poland,
Finland or any other power of the
line so drawn and proclaimed will
be permitted.
"Thus only can the bolshevist
regime be deprived of its- false, but
effective appeal to Russian national
ism and compelled to meet the inevi
table challenge of reason and self
respect which the Russian people se
cure from invasion and territorial
violation are sure to address to a
social philosophy that degrades them
and a tyranny that oppresses, them.
"The policy herein outlined will
command the support of this govern
ment. "Accept, Excellency, the renewed
assurances of my highest considera
