NO CHANGE ON SOVIET. Lenine Not to Be Recognized Unless the Other Decides on That Course, By David Lawrence. (Special Correspondent of The Eve- nid.) ning Wor WASHINGTON, April 5 (Copy- right, 1920)—Trade relations be- tween the United States and the people of Russia, whether the latter are under the jurisdiction of the Soviets or any other faction, will shortly be resumed. The United States Government has been waiting an answer from the Allies as to the course the other nations would pursue, but the sug- gestions and counter suggestions have thus far yielded no concrete understanding. It 1s the intention of our Govern- ment, if an answer 4s not forthcoming very #oon, to advise American citizens to go ahead irrespective of the action of the other powers. Any American would be able to trade with Russia at his own risk, This means that diplomatic protection in the event of State would doubtless insist upon the assumption of responsibility by any Government of the transactions or claims pending againet its prede- cessor. U. 8 TO GIVE NO ASSISTANCE TO TRADERS WITH RUSSIA. The UnitedStates looks upon the question of commetee with Russia with non-political eyes, There is no embango against the Russian people or against the individuals who may be principals in theSoviet regime. To American oitisems all Russians will be on the same footing. Goods can be bought or #0ld and transported to and from Russia, but all artange- ments must be made without the moral of physi-al asstetance of the United States Governme: With respect to recognition of the Soviets, thére in as yet no signs of any change of policy, and tt Is ex- tremely unlikely that this Presiden- tial year the Democratic Administra- tion would lay iteelf open to attack as sympathetic with the Bolsheviki by taking the lead in extending rec- Prisoner Accuses His Companion of * Slaying Third Avenue Haber- ; dasher, Police Say.

On the other hand, should the Allies decide upon such a policy, the United States would: not stand aloof, but would join in the policy of the associated powers. Of one thing the public may rest assured. Information here would seem to indicate that under no cir- cumstances will the Allies agree to any recognition of the Soviets unless there is a definite renunciation of any policy of international revolution or propaganda looking toward that end, While officials are %nclined to look upon the matter of Soviet regime as a form of government set up by Russians for Russia, they are firmly set against the continuance of any ex- ternal activity or missionary Work for Soviet methodi The jortation of Ludwig If-styled “Ambas- sader” of the Soviets, is as much a warning against any future at- tempt to introduce revolutionary propaganda in the United States s it is a punishment for Mar- ens. WHY U, 8, HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE THE SOVIET, Our Government officials deem them: selves to be acting on the solid ground of international law and understand- ing in refusing to recognize any Government, one of whose alms is the overthrow of (forms of Government unlike its own, The Department of State claims that revolutionary propa- ganda js inspired by the Boview and that the task of Martens was to spread Soviet doctrines in the United states, Of course there is no denying the provuvilty that trade relations with Russia wil tend to emphasize sooner or later the political aypects of the problem and that a decision of some kind will become necessary. On the other hand, It ts thought possible that with the return of trade, the Russian people themselves will be better able to understand the viewpoint of the outside World toWard political recog nition, and will eventuatly compel those ‘who assume to govern Ruasia to Ghange their tactics toward other nation: Incidentally, an Interesting ques- the occupancy the Russian Em- bassy Building in Washington, A rumor has been current for several tion has just’ been raised concerning | fy, Proposed Subway L cere MASSING of MILLIONS IN TRE HH) world's busiest beohive of cour: , it’s here in New York, and takes in the section between Seventh and Fourth Avenues. area ispprobably more congested than any other given section in It im estimated that 846,656,954 passengers enter and leave orld, this section ann ly. ing, possession is mine points of the Jaw, and until the Government of the United States enters into diplomatic Telations with a Government in Rus- sia from whom instructions can be received concerning the ocoupancy of the building no action will be taken against the present tenants. Again and again the Department of State has beon confronted with this roblem, peiculary with respect to lexioo. The Carranaa faction ovcu- pled the Mexicaf Kmbaxsy for many months prior to formal recognition of the Carrahga Government. Embassy buildings are the property of foreign Governinents and the rule which has been followed hore is to refrain from interference with the last occupants of a logation or embassy until a new Government !s formally recognized and arranges for diplomativ repre- sentation. STOCK\ EXCHANGE PUTS STUTZ CORNER UPTO THE COURTS (Continued From First Page.) drew af ultra-fine distinction to- day when he ruled that Ryan, in offering to buy the stock, is not creat~ ing a market for it. To create a market, it was stated, Ryan would have to sell as well as buy, and this he is not advertising to do. That Ryan does not believe that the suspension of trading in Stutz will long continue was indicated when the company, of which he now is Chair- man of the Board of Directors, ap- plied to the Exchange for the listing of an additional 20,000 shares of stock, issued last week In the shape of a tock dividend. Reports that a private settlement hag been arranged between Ryan and the “short interbst he has been squeezing in Stutz are not generally credited and are partly refuted by the fuot that there was a nominal market for the stock to-day at 385 bid 480 agked, No transactions were report- ed. Criticiam in Wall Street is directed not so much to the fact that Ryan successfully engineered a “corner” in Stutz as to the fact that the Stock hange authorities seemingly made orner” practicable. Well posted nelal interests assert that when a fina’ Stutz stock was first listed on the/t! Stook Exchange it was not well dis- tributed among the public, and that 4 large percentage of the issue—some estimates place it as high as ninety per cent.—was held by Ryan and his associates, Therefore, it was a simple mutter for him to buy in the balance of the issue and at the same time hold sufficient contracts from shorts to assure a corner being effected. ‘These financial interests assert that if Stock Exchange authorities took the precaution of ascertaining how associates the present “corner” would issued an attachment for against any propert: which may be foun: ed all his off holdin exas, for $600, shares of stock, vi and that he alao executive pos in Wichita Coun chsh and 408, ‘S00 ity holdin, Company, ban! roel. days that the Department of State orde out the present ocoupants of the building—nam Mr. hmeteft and others who came here as the representatives of the Kerensky Gov- ernment.

This was on Sat- urday night, March 27. “They were surging up and down the three large dancing floors in the clos- cst possible proximity,” he said. The dances indulged in were indecéht, even as dances go. We saw the “hootohi-kootchi,” the ‘shimmy shake” and the ‘cheek to cheek” dances on these floors. On every side were tables surrounded by men and women. Many of them were in inde- cent postures, and were indulging in indecent familiarities with each other.
