COMPLETE AGREEMENT In a statement after the note had been made public, Secretary Hoover declared the conclusion reached "shows the complete agreement of the views of the whole administration." Unlike previous official pronouncements of the American government's attitude toward tn Soviet regime, Secretary Hughes' note dealt solely with the economic aspects of the problem and made no attempt to discuss the political shortcomings of the unrecognized Bolshevist government. It sets forth in a few words the reasons why the United. States considers it poor to trade with Russia under existing conditions, but made no indictment against Bolshevism as a political system. It was pointed out; however, that there was nothing in the note to reverse or modify the communication to Italy in which the "Wilson adminis tration set forth at length last August the unwillingness of the United States to enter into political Electric Cleaner not hammer or beat or clean friction.

"On the other hand the manner in which today's note was made public had none of the air of usual diplomatic negotiations, being contained in the official announcement from the state department' THE REPLY 7 "The government of the UnlteH I States," says the communication, "views with deep sympathy and grave concern the plight of the people of Russia and desires to aid by every apropriate means in pro moting proper opportunities through which commerce tan be established upon a sound basis. It is manifest to this government! that in existing circumstances there is no assurance for the development of trade as the supplies which Russia might now be able to obtain would be wholly in adequate to meet her needs and no lasting good can result so long as the present causes of progressive impoverishment continue to operate. It is pnly in the productivity of Russia that there is any hope for the Russian people and it is idle to expect resumption of trade until the economic bases of production are securely established. Production is conditioned upon the safety of life, the recognition by firm guarantees of private property, the sancitity of contract and the rights of free labor.

If fundamental changes are contemplated involving due regard for the protection of persons and property and the establishment of conditions essential to the maintenance of commerce, this government will be gla3 to have convincing evidence of the consummation of such changes, and until this evidence supplied fGe government is unable to percelv that there is any proper basis for considering trade relations."
