HESUMPTION OF RELATIONS WITH SOVIETE FAR OFF Hughes Tells Gompers That U. S. Can. not Resume Relations at Present TImO, -Washington, April 17.-Secretary Hughes, writing to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who asked for a statement of "the facts" regarding Russia, ind cates definitely that there is no pros pect of at resumption of relations with the United States while the Soviet 1)0 litical and economic system remains. The letter of the secretary of state makes direct reply to various state ments characterized as 'propaganda, which contend that resumption of re lations, trade or political, .w-ith the Soviets would open a igreat current of trade of advantage to the United States and that large shipments of Russian gold- have already 'been made to other countries in payment for goods. Soviet Russia, Recretary Hughes de clares, is a ."gigantic economic vacu um," and he adds that "no evidence exists that the unfortunate situation is likely to .be alleviated so long as the present political and economic sys tem continues." Taking up specifically the charge that the scarcity of goods in Russia Is due to the blockade which was re moved July 8, 1920, and the statement that .the demand for manufactured goods in Russia is so 'great and the purchasing power of the Soviets so vast that it is almost impossible to determine the capacity of the Russian market for imports Secretary Hughes wrote: "Though there is almost no limit to the amount and variety of commodi ties urgently needed by Russia, the purchasing power of that country is now at a minimitm, and the demand hans consequently to remain unsatis fled. * * The attitude and action of the present authorities of Russia have tended to undermine its political and economic relations with other coun tries. The Russian people are unable to obtain credit, which might other wise .be based on the vast potential wealth of Russia and are compnelled to .be deprived of commodities imme diately necessary for consumption, raw materials and permanent .produc tive equipments * * * It should not be overlooked that there has been a steady degeneration in events and iii. dustries in Soviet Russia that were not dlependent upon imports of either raw material or partly finished pro ducts nor in .which has there been any shortage of la'bor. * * * Tre can he no relation of the failure of all these industries to blockades or civil war, for most of them require no iinports, and the men mobilized since the So viet revolution were far less in nut her than before the event. "Restrictions on direct -t-rade with Russia were removed by the United States on July 8, 1920. The conclu sion of treaties of peace with the Bal tic states enabled Russia freely to en ter upon01 trade with Europe andl the United States. Bioth American and European goodis have been sold to Russia but the volume of trade has been unimportant, due to the inaabil ity of Russia to 'pay for imports. "It is true that agents purporting to be representatives of the so-called Bolshevist commissariat of foreign trade have placed immense orders for the purchase of goods in the United 'States, Europe andl Asia. It is esti malhtedl that perhaps six and one-half billlon dollars' worth of orders have been booked. But, shlipments as a re suilt of these orders have been made only in small volume because the So viet agents .were unable either to pay cash or to obtain cr'edit so as to in sure the delivery of the goods order ed1."

The enrperor that wah and the for mer crown prince and other sons pres ent were all attired in full uniform of the Prussian guard, their 'helmets crepe covered. The funeral procession arrived at the little station at Maarn in darkness broken only by the light from a few lam-ps on the railway embankment. First came a huge car with flowers followed by servants, who loaded the wreaaths into the railway carriage. About ten .minutes later the hearse arrived, flashing powerful search lights. It was draped in with black cloth with white cross and 'border. From the next automobile Chaplain Dryander alighted wearing black rohes. Immediately 'behind came an automobile carrying the former em peror and his daughter, Princess Vic toria Louise, which drove on until it reached a shelter of shrubs, hiding it from view. Frederick William, the former crown prince, and Prince Adalbert in long gray mantels walked briskly forward., 6ther members of the family alighted from their cars-Prince Oscar, the Duke of Brunswick, Prince FuersteiA berg, General von Gontard, chief of the household, Countess von Keller and Countess von Rantzau, the staunchest friends of the late empress and ladies in waiting in the old days, and .the court chamberlain, Baron von Spitzenberg.

Then the former emperor led the way to the ears in which the other mieibc.rai of Ihe party were to slee; tonight and remain dur ing their Journey. I thanked theimi all and took leave of them.

The service wa.s an affecting one, and (luring its pr~o gress forme ci'mp ieror' Willlim fre quently sobbed and at one iiolnt seemed at the verge of a breakdown. The service was conducted by Dr:. D)ryander, the former court chaplain, who took the text. of his sermon from the tenth verse of thfe second chap;ter of Revelations: "Bo thou faithful until death and I wvill give thee a crown of life."
