(By the Asso- vi elated Press.) The approaching visit , of the commission of the league of na-; na-; tlofs to soviet Russia -is arousing lit-' lit-' - tie interest and discussion here. Rus-; Rus-; sia hart no confidence in the league, according to the soviet leaders. Leoj ?t Kameneff. president of the Moscow i I ) soviet, said today: s- j I "The league has capitulated. It has ; t lost its original significance. It con-j con-j I tains no vital principles appllcab-o to !i the new prohlems of society; and is I ' credited in the interest of the old im-) im-) ; perlalfcra." j : ' Referring to the projected visit of j " tho league commission, Kamcccff 'f said: "We attach no particular Jmport- ) nnce to the matter. The boaa fido commissions of other countries desir- 8ing to make an impartial investigauon will be welcome. We will niako no sper-.Jal preparations and will arrange no fetes for the league commission, but wo shall afford facilities to see everything. We ask the same light, B however, to send our commission to . otl.or countries." Diplomatic Relations. Kameneff expressed die opinion i , that no resumption of trade inter- ; 1 cou"e with western Europe would be i ; possible without re-eslablishmciit. of diplomatic relations. ( "Whuever it loads the exact situa- tioc must be defined," ho said. "Jt . will remain uncortain so long sia the ? r entente makes commercial advances to j . Russia while supporting imperialism ! ' in Polanl." 1 Chairman iMelnikanski, of the coun- i : oil of Moscow trade unions, is ano'her ' ' sovift leader frankly uninterested in lh" coming visit of the commission. I , Afraid of Capitalism. ' The leaders of the Mensheviki p.trty, according to Melnikanski, believe that the lesumption of diplomatic relations i" Avilli the "capitalistic" nations will i ; tend to bring nbout bourgeois action ; rangelous to the Meushevists as well as lo communism. Tho Mensheviki Party, however, represents but a small k' faction in Russia today. 2L. TJie majority of intelligent fcop nlon IT in Russia, so far as careful inquiry W- indicates, regards the position of the f government as stronger today than since fhe revolution. ; The attitude of the United iM.Ue."! toward Russia is the subject of r?tu ! lation.
