RUSSIA AND JAPAN.
AMERICA DISCUSSES WAR. ATTITUDE TO THE SOVIET. (Received April 25, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, Anril 21. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times stales that in an interview a member of the Senate, who desired his name not to be mentioned, revealed the fact that Lad been recent Senatorial activity in favour of the diplomatic recognition by the United States of Soviet Russia. He said this represented a feeling on the part of some of the leaders that the United States should be in a position to provide or deny military and other supplies for Russia or Japan in case of war. " In the event of war." said the Senator, "we do not intend to be Japan's ally and Russia's foe for reasons of technical diplomacy." 3lr. W. E. Borah, chairman of the Relations Committee of the Senate, has long favoured the recognition of the Soviet, and a statement made on Thursday by Mr. J. T. .Robinson, of Arkansas, Democrat leader in the Senate, concurring 'with that view, has greatly revived the issue. Some of the newspapers insist that it would open up new trade markets. The President, Mr. Hoover, from whom any such negotiations must originate, has not commented recently. It is understood that he is adamant against recognition of Russia.
