Revolt to Promote
u. S.-Russian Trade

Petrosrad. March Is VIA London
March ia new impetus 10 CONNER
cial intercourse between Russia and
America is expected to grow out Of
the revolution. The reforms accepted
in principle by the Cabinet remove a
stumbling block which existed under
the old regime 20 the reenactment Of
the commercial treaty with the United
States
Among the stipulations insisted upon
by the workingmen's deputies was one
for the removal Of the disabilities gov
erning various elements of Russia's
population. Thus, the Jews. Poles. Ar
menians. Tartars and other foreign
races composing parts Of the popula-
ton are admitted 10 full equal rights.
The impeachment 90 the reenactment
Of the treaty has been the insistence
OF Russia in applying 20 naturalized
American Jews the same liabilities gov
erning those of this race who are Rus
sian subjects Il is understood that
there will be an early declaration by

American Capital Will Be
Welcome, Commerce
Body Says
Parcel Post Is Needed
National City Bank Shows the
United States Will Be in
Strategic Position

Figures compiled BY the National
City Bank and made public yesterday
show the United States to be IN
strategic position in case the regen-
Grafton of Russia extends to its IN
dustries after the war. Even before
the phenomenal stimulus of war came,
trade between this country and Russia
had made extraordinary gains.
Coincidentally the American-Russlan
Chamber Of Commerce issued state
ment calling attention to the harmony
that should exist between the new
Russia and the United States and
painting a brilliant future for trade
relations. Gussian production would
be stimulated in every possible way at
the close of the war, the chamber pre-
dicted. and American capital and en-
terprise would be welcomed.
American business interests says
the statement. ARE familiar with the
general economic problems which Rus
STA will face after the war, and, by the
investment Of American capital and
American organizing ability they will
not only be of great assistance in the
building up of Russia. but they will be
able to share in the fullest degree m
such a Development
1t is estimated that the United
States could consume 7io0,000O0O
worth of Russian raw materials an
nuaily. The immediate arrangement
of a parcel post convention IS urged.
Huge War Trade
The foreign trade department Of the
National City Bank reports that the
annual average Of our exports TO Rus
STA in the closing years of the fifteen
years ended with 1914 was $50 per cent
greater than in the opening years Of
that period. That is exclusive OF the
war trade, wt;ch resulted in exports
Of Sj00.O00,00 TO Russia in 1915 and
1916. while in the fifteen years proceed
ing the conflict the total exports 10
that country, increasing heavily as they
were. amounted 20 only Si6S,O0O.0OO,
according 20 Russian figures.
Imports from Russia IN time OF peace
showed greater percentage OF gam
than our exports to the empire. In the
three-year period 10000. they aver
aged a little n ore than S7,000,000 per
annum, ana in the period 19l2-li about
S23.000.000
Russia's share in the trade Of this
country has been increasing at rate
greater than normal. In the fifteen
years prior to the war. while our eX-
ports 10 Russia were increasing $50 per
cent. our total export trade increased
less than 100 per cent In the same
period. while our importation of Rus
sian goods was increasing more than
2On per cent. our total imports IN
creased less than 100 per cent.

Grand Duke Will Not
Command Russians
Generalissimo To Be Named
Instead of Nicholas

London, March 90 Grand Duke Mich
olas will not. after all, be commander
in chief of the Russian armies, accord
ing TO the Petrograd correspondent OF
"The Times" the new government hav-
ing found it necessary, in order 70
checkmate the mischievous propaganda
10 appoint generaiissimo not connect
ed with the Romanof family.
The correspondent does not state
who the new appointee will be. nor does
he indicate whether Grand Duke Mich
olas is likely 10 continue to hold any
subordinate command.
In long dispatch "The Times"
dwells on the difficulties the govern
ment is meeting because of the aims
Of the extremists.
Among the other signs of trouble Is
dissatisfaction in some quarters that
the former Emperor was allowed TO 90
to Livadia. This the spondent
attributes TO rumors of counter
revolution. The writer does not, how
ever. represent the situation as neces-
sarily dangerous.

Premier Challenged by Irish
as He Glorihes Free
People" in Commons
German Crisis Is Seen
Socialist Chief Doesn't Expect
Revolt, but Says Allies
Must Gust Kaiser

London. March 19-Premier Lloyd
George to-day announced in the House
of Commons that on Thursday he would
move a motion Of congratulation TO
the Russian Duma.
The Premier told the House that so
far as the governments information
showed the new government had re-
ceived the support Of the army, the
navy and the country as a whole. HIS
information. however, did not enable
him TO say that all danger was passed.
1t was satisfactory to know the new
government had been formed for the
express purpose of carrying on the
war with increased vigor.
The Premier continued:
81 have only to add on behalf of the
government that they are confident the
Russian people will find that liberty
is compatible with order. even in "A
revolutionary time, and that free peo-
pies are the best defenders of their
own honor"
At this point the Premier was inter
rupted by ironcal cheers from the
Irish members and cries Of "Why don't
you practise what you preach -
The recent speeches of Socialist
members in the Prussian Diet in which
sensational attacks were made on the
government have caused considerable
discussion as to the possibility of a
revolutionary outbreak in Germany. In
reference TO this, Henry NJ. Hyndman,
leader of the British Socialists. said:
"While the situation in Germany
grows more hopeful from our point OF
view. we cannot see much prospect yet
of a revolution there. Yet 1t must be
admitted that forces are at work in
Germany very similar to those in Rus
STA.
The recent pronouncements by
Chancellor Won Hollweg
promising suffrage reform indicated
that the Hohenzollerns are breaking
with the junkers who brought on the
war and are endeavoring TO get on
better terms with the people. The
whole aim Of the Hohenzollerns from
now on will be to save the dynasty in
the crash which seems almost inevita-
bic.
Remember this-it is unthinkablc
that the Entente would conclude a last
ing peace with the Hohenzollerns. The
people Of the Allied countries would
repel the thought Of such a peace after
the sacrifices we have endured Revo.

For 1915 the Russian figures were
Sl25,00O. 900. and for 1916 they were
approximately S335.000.000
Our own figures for exports to Rus
STA in the war years show larger totals,
being si70,000.O0O for 1915 and s469,-
100000 for 1915. The discrepancy is

Our ordinary exports 70 Russia large

principal imports from Russia have
