AMERICA AND RUSSIA.
QUESTION OF RECOGNITION GUARANTEES REQUIRED. STATEMENT BY MB HUGHES. Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn. NEW YOIBK, July 22. The Secretary of Stale, Mr C E. Hughes, replying to a letter from the president of the American Federation of Labour, Mr Samuel Gompcrs, asking for a statement of the United States' altitude towards Russia re-asserts that the United States does not grant recognition of the Uussian Government al the present time. The United States, contrary to the European custom, does not withhold recognition from a Government arising 'from a revolution, but it must be assured that such a Government has popular support. Mr Hughes concludes that the United States cannot consider recognition of the Soviet Government until it receives convincing evidence that the Soviet Government observes the fundamental conditions of international intercourse and abandons persistent attempts to subvert the institutions <of democracy as maintained in the United States and other countries.
