Ant Americans In Russia Denounce Taft
United Press dispatch from St. Petersburg reports widespread denunciation of the United States following Taft's order to abrogate the 1832 treaty. Officials are bitter toward the American government and talk of boycotting American goods. The government suspects Taft seeks to bolster weak popularity with Jewish money and votes. Ambassador Guild met with Foreign Minister Saganoff to discuss the crisis. Russia appears likely to let the treaty lapse and avoid a new accord, which could affect American subjects and exporters.
