Referring to reports of Mr. Coolidge's intention to summon an international disarmament con- ference, M. Chicherin pointed out. that its realisation was impossible without the participation of Russia.
M. Chicherin hoped American capital would be used to develop the resources of Soviet Russia in return fer concessions.
He emphasised that Russia and America were face to face on the Pacific Ocean, but it was im- possible any longer to limit Ameri- can policy to Pacific Ocean pro- blems:
The United States could not adopt an ostrich-like policy towards a country embracing half Europe and half America.
