Repudiating Treaties When They Become Onerous
From St Petersburg the Novoe Vremya notes that the English newspaper indictment of the U S Senate for overturning the Clayton Bulwer treaty is not unusual given changed conditions. It cites Russia’s 1870 declaration that it would not honor promises, including Black Sea warships. The Bourse Gazette says Russia is pleased by America’s diplomatic victory over England and dislikes Monroe doctrine as Western Europe seeks territory. Russia has long sympathized with America and supports American possessions, while oil sympathies in China have grown warmer.
