RUSSIA STILL
STUBBORN ON
JEW DISPUTE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.—The
Russian government has declined to
negotiate a new commercial treaty
with the United States to replace the
treaty abrogated by the American
Congress under the Taft administra
tion.
Petrograd refuses even to discuss
the question of a new treaty with
David R. Francis, American and assa
dor to Russia, for these reasons:
Russia never will accede to the
American proposal that she honor :\U
American passports and thereby ad
mit American Jews to her dominions.
Russia feels that since she enered
into the economic alliance with the
other Entente allies at the Paris con
ference she would prefer to consult
Great Britainy, France, Italy, and
Japan before discussing a commerciu
treaty of any character with the
United States.
