Petrograd, via London, March 24.— ‘Warm appreeciation.of the cordial feel- ing shown by the people and: gov- ernment of the United States toward the new regime was expressed today by Foreisn Secretary Milukoff in a statément to the Assoclated Press. “The ol regime was a heavy' dux pot only on Russia’s relations with Her allies but on all foreign / reéla- tions,” he said. “Thousands of tele- grams of ‘comgratulation and good | wishes are coming from the United States, not to speak of the formal rec- oumun of the provisional govern- Taerit. This has served to show that it'is only the ‘old regime which has bl been standing for a long timeé in the way of entire solidarity between the United States and Russia.” Prof. Milukoff emphasized his satis- faction at the attitude of the Amer-’ ican ambassador, David R.
