OUR TRADE, WITH RUSSIA
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

Another enthusiasm which houses i'll
with conventional forebcding has taken
hold upon American manufacturers in
contemplation of the present outlook for
increasing our trade with Russia. Rus
| sia, the real land OF unlimited possi-
| bilities; possessed of inexha ustible re-
sources, a vast plain foundering all ever
Europe and well into Asia; sparsely set
tied, and yet counting $780, 900 people;
with hundreds of millions of acres of
rich agricultural soils, vast grazing lands,
abundant minerals and just beginning to
crave modern civilization. presents, in
truth, a possible market which is stag
gering to even the elastic imagination.
Russia is the biggest single possibility
on earth. 1t is the mastodon among ma
tions, and, like the mastodon, it has been
| sleeping the sleep of death ever since
| the g.acial epoch. Should 1t awake, it
will be the worlds greatest buyer and
seller, the worlds greatest political pow
er, and. likely, from such conscious
ness would be brought forth the worlds
greatest art. And it is of this world do
minion r-h.c ch the Slav delights to dream; !;
this is what he is working for in his
Pan -S.avonic propaganda. The educated
Russian freely admits his country's pres
-ent deficiencies. but, he qualities, the fu-
ture belongs to the Slav. and this -uture
, is as certain as the fate which builded
the mightiest territorial dominion of the
| world. However, our latest enthusiasm
has to do with the possibilities OF in
creasing our trade with Russia, and not
with the dark empires political future.
An American manufacturer recently
called the attention of his countrymen
to their opportunity for developing
their Russian sales. He pointed out to
them that Germany has been selling
Russia about one-half of that country,s 8
importations. These German sales will
likely be cut off for many months. per
haps many years, to come. frst by the
embargo Of the war and, then, for an
other period, by the embargo Of en-
nifty. Austria. also. has sold consider

Thus Russia's great exports are food
stuffs. and her greatest imports are
metal goods
EoOdstuffs Chief and manufac-
Among Her Exports. export OF do
mestic manufactures is very limited.
Russia's foreign trade exceeds $l.260.,

more than $5OO,000,o0O. About one
eighth of the imports are metal and
manufactures. OF machinery chine e. alone
and her imports of this class are bound
to grow rapidly as the development OF
the country is pushed. Germany mas
sold about IS per cent Of Russia's ma
chinery import while England has fur-
nished about 121s per cent.
AS an agricultural nation, Russia has
outdistanced the United States, and as
yet most of her tillable land merely
adorns the infinite expanse OF the rus
sian horizon, the most Impressive, mo-
notonous, rigidly distant circumference
of any to be found in the world. were
all her productive lands to be put
under a culture as intensive as that OF
German farming. the farmers or the
other nations of the world would nave
to beat their plowshares into battle
axes or into factory lathes. There
would be no room for competition.
Russias foodstuffs and raw materials
have found ready markets IN Eernany'
Great Britain and the countries Of north
ern and western Europe. Germany ex-
changed for her imports of Russian raw
materials principally machinery. chemi-
calls and cloths. Russia has been an IN
creasine taker of mach mes, as for some
wears past there has been a determined
effort among her people to build up home
Industries of sufficient magnitude 70
enable the domestic working OF her vast
natural resources.
There could hardly be a more ideal
market for American goods than RUSSIA.
In the first place, this empire presents
field whose working up will be source
large enough to consume significant per
centages of our manufactured goods. Fur
thermore, Russia's only need is of those
things which it is most advantageous LOT
the limited States to sell-manufactures
Lastly, our sales to Russia would. in all
probability, have to be paid for largely
in gold.
