Russia Not Counting
on American Aid
VIENNA, Aug. 14.—Russia is un
der no delusions regarding the atti
tude of the United States govern
ment toward the Soviet, according
to M. Joffe, former Soviet ambassa
dor to Japan, and does not expect
recognition by the United States so
:ong as present conditions prevail.
Ordinarily a compound fracture of
the shinbone is no particular asset
to an interviewer, but in this in
stance it was my greatest asset. I
was in a hospital here and M. Joffe
was a fellow patient. When he
heard I was here he granted me
an interview and I was carried to
his room on a stretcher.
“So long as Mr. Hughes controls
the foreign policy of the United
States,” M. Joffe said, ‘“I can see
little chance of improvement in our
relations with America. Mr. Hughes
holds fast to the standpoint that
all property which has been nation
alized or municipalized in Russia
by the revolution must be restored
to the former OAvners. So far as
I can judge Mr. Hughes takes the
lawyer’s attitude and sticks to the
bourgeois formula of right and title.
It is fundamentally a matter of
principle; the material interests in
volved are comparatively unimport
ant; and Russia cannot waive a
question of principle,”
Conditions in Russia today com
pare favorably with those in many
other European countries, according
to M. Joffe.
“I know Germany and Austria
pretty well,” he said, “and I can
sa ydefinitely that things are bet
ter in Russia than in those two
countries. The permanent pauper
element that is found in so many
European countries hardly exists
any longer with us.”
Joffe also declared that illiteracy
once so prevalent in Russia, is
greatly diminished and probably
will disappear altogether in a few
years. Credit for this condition is
largely given by Joffe to the intelli
gensia who, he declares, have co
operated with the bourgeois to im
prove educational standards.
Recurring rumors of the collapse
of the Soviet system were emphati
cally denied by Joffe.
