RUSSIA WOULD PAY WAR DEBT TO U. S.

Recognition by America Vital, Says Soviet Commissar. Washington. GET $21,000 LOOT. Moscow, July -Jan Rudzutak, who next to Joseph StaJin is the most influential political figure in Soviet Russia, today made a number of notable and important utterances to American correspondents. He declared that Russia thought the Kellogg pact more precious than the loss of even $10,000,000 involved in the seizure of the Chinese Eastern railway.

He also said the Soviet government was ready to send or to receive official or unofficial commissions on equal terms to discuss all conditioned recognition by either or Great Britain, and disclosed that the latter government already had offered re of normal diplomatic and trade relations on certain conditions. The Russian government had not yet formulated its reply. British recognition would not necessarily, he thought, influonce American attitude. His government was prepared, he maid, to settle the $187,000,000 debt of the late Kerensky government either in money, goods or lease of concessions. He believed some practical formula to settle the debt could be found.

Theo Soviet government does not recognize, however, debts of the czarist government on principle. Rudzutak said American recognition was essential to the economic development and prosperity of Sovlet Russia, and that relations tween the two countries could not logically be based on casual commercial transactions, even though these amounted to $100,000,000 annually. The relations must rest on permanent diplomatic basis. He declared the Soviet government to be prepared to discuss terms of settlement of all outstanding questions between the, two countries, even with unofficial representatives of the American government if Washington chose to send them here in that capacity.

Stimson Points to Pact. Osaka dispatches from Harbin said that the Russians had assumed the offensive and taken the railhead border cities on both ends of the Eastern, while Peiping dispatches reported 'an unsuccessful Russian effort to cross the Amur river into Manchuria. Neither report was confirmed elsewhere and official circles in Moscow denied the Osaka dispatches. In connection with the reported threats of war in Manchuria, Secretary of State Stimson in Washington called to the attention of both the Soviet and Chinese governments the fact that they are signatories of the Kellogg anti-war pact. Russians Take Border Cities.

Osaka, Japan, July The Harbin correspondent of the Osaka Asahi telegraphed his paper today that the Russians had assumed the offensive and had captured the border cities of Pagranichnaya and Manchull. Pogranichnaya and Manchull are border points, the former about 150 miles north of Vladivostok and the latter a thousand miles away across Manchuria. Both are key positions to the Chinese Eastern railway, but the significance of their occupation is believed to be of political rather military importance. Manchuli is definitely in Manchuria, being about 10 miles from the border, Pogranichnaya, according available atlases, is on the Russian side of the border and the use of the word "capture" by the Osaka Asahi presumably would mean that the Russians had expelled the Chinese there and taken over the place and control of the railway and administration. Gun Boats Gather on Amur.

Tokio, July Rengo News Agency relayed from Harbin a Chinese report that four Soviet gunboats had appeared at the confluence of the Amur and Sungari rivers on the northeast boundary of Manchuria and that three Chinese gunboats were sent to reinforce the three already in that vicinity.

An indication of Europe's uneasiness was' seen in the visit of Russian Ambassador Dovgalevsky and Chinese Minister Kao Lu to Foreign Minister Briand of France. Since Russia is not a member of the league, the Geneva organization would be confronted with a delicate situation in attempting mediate Pet between Russia and China. This responsibility is incumbent on M. Adatchi, Japanese ambassador to France, who as acting president of the council of the league must initiate any steps taken. If the league should open an investigation into the Sino-Russian situation, Russia under article 17 of the covenant would be invited temporarily to accept the obligations of league membership.

If Russia refused and resorted to war against China, she could be subjected to the provisions of article 16. This article provides for severance of trade and financial relations by all members of the league and even for such punitive measures as menber states feel they could tribute to.
