Editor Bernstein Hope, However, Jw May Gain Treaty Right. In today' Issue of The American edited by Herman Bernstein, a etatetrtent appeara In which Mr. Bern-atein comments on tha Russian Premier and tha proposal for a new commercial treaty between, the United States and Ruiwia. many quarter the hope ha been expressed recently that Mr. Francl.

the new American Ambaaaador to Ruasia. may succeed In maklnc new commercial treaty between the United State and Russia," say Editor Bernstein article. In pro-Russian quarters It I belle red the paasport question la im lonjrer to be taken into consideration Jn the adjustment concerning; the treaty. "In American sphere It 1 oellered Raseta. rery alliance with euch clrll-lzed countries aa Knpland and France will dictate to the Itussimn government In Its own interest to cease discriminating American titiaens upon retlflous CirUiiil3 in the passport question.

Kven among American Jewa. there are many who nold thmt Raenla Is perhaps ready to ytt-14 to the United State now that the pole of eettlement la practically abolished. The fact remain that the pale of settlement aa It existed before la no more, and the entire Russian pa-ssport system will have to be revised, thus maJUng It possible for Ruasia to yield to the United States without any loss or dignity. And It would eeom thai Russia, in hr efforts to secure the aym-pathy-of the greatest neutral power, would now a rail herself of thie opportunity ti remove the difference between the t'titted States and Russia. But the news that comes from Russia indicates that the Russian Govern-nvnt is not yet read to a bar don lta policy of blindnens.

ft seems thrt the new Itussian Premier, M. bturmer. notorious for his reactionary tendencies. Is determined ti resume his a ntl-Jewish policy- The Premier'a aftlrude toward the Jewish question may also be seen from his atand conwnlne- the Labor Party's bill In behalf Of the oppressed natlonalltlea In Russia. The new American Ambaaaador ha a most difficult task before him.

under then circumstance, he should nevertheless succeed in convincing Russia that her policy is on of narrownae and ahort-alghtedneee, he wfll achieve a triumph for America and at tha same time Indirectly render a great service to the Russian people.
