Answer. No, Runaia ha** not afforded the United State* any gr und for abro* ga'fng the treaty. The treaty of 1831* was nad»* exclusively for eota J mere la | imriMHei, and a clause in the ' very firat article stipulated that American citizen* arriving In Ru* ' «ta, and Rtitwlan tuhjertt arriving jin the United State*, abould ha »iib jject to the Internal law* and regula • 1 tiona of the respective countries. The entry of American citizen* of i Jew lab faith Into RitMia In not ate t xolutely prohibited. With reap, ct to them a* to other American citizen*, 'and in strict accordance with the 1 stipulation* of the treaty, our rouu ! try enforce* certain rule*.

Answer Ye*, R<i**ia ha* treated American Jew* differently from the very be Klmilng It has "Treated them exact ly on the *ame basis as all other foreign Jews without exception Ne I verthele**, not a single civilized country ever disputed the rtght of a:||otber country to define for Itself i is * $ of undesirables, because un der the principle* of International law this right is the absolutely lu c 'tv••stable pr-'Pogat ive of ev.-ry sovereign pow r C.uided thereby, : the rnited St a:. - --tatdiStoed • \a- t ly in the same way In immigration a ts rla-*••* of undesirable alien*.de termined by qualification* of an eco nomic, *»ini arv. moral. -»• ial and «v . n relit: i- » b.ira* t* r \iii-ti* a»»; ! legislation, for instance prohibited the entry into the T'nited State* of person* belonging to religion* bodies tolerati/ig polygamy, whereas Rus sian legislation doe* no' *ee* any eiute for aueh restriction, Still, at ! 1 said, such classes nT undesirable alien* are defined for itself by each country. Therefore, neither the Russian nor American government saw any v Wat ion of the treaty of 1M"S In the passage snc enforcement of 'he afor--*aid American immigra tion acts This ought to he clear to every statesman. Question if *o. has Ru**!a special rea*.-ns for such dlwrirntnation* Answer For economic and social reason.*, Russian legislation established a whole range of restrictions upon its 1 Jewish subject* To allow free entry j j of foreign Jew** into Russia ts obvi-| ouslf Imposs'ble under the* circum-! ! idance* They would then enjoy | greater rights In Russia than Rus sia's own Jewish .subject*. Therein lie* the apecisl reason for the din-, ,crimination which Russia practices toward ft.reign Jew* wishing to e»- ] er Rutiula 1 must add that #xtet» Ing restrictions are *onsidered a measure of defense for the Ruswlan mase** against alien domination. Concern for such measure* of pro tection must be understood by the! 't'nited A* at-**, which for similar reasons prohibited the entry of A*i a ties, Qneition If Russia In administering the; treaty, ha* gipen the t'nited State*; ground* for denoun* ing the treaty, why does ahe seek to peuaTlae the j ■ rotted stash* by jrnpiw|» to in* crease duties one hundred per eent on American goods? , A»*wer 'Ru«w4a. or, to be more precise, the Russian government, has not yet ex pressed any Intention of applying i reprisals toward .good* of American origin. The proposals for reprisals originated in various uuar term, hut the | gov er sweat has not yet indicated in any manner It* attitude thereto. The future enwrap of the * hole affair mint depend upon the negoti ation* which will foil w betw-en the governments regarding the ha- [ cl# of the new agreement. Proposals to this purpose must come from the American government as the i!tl§ which dedar-d abrogation.
