Russian Mission Here
On Commercial Errand
State Department Knows Moth
ing of Self-Styled ENJOYS

Washington, May 23.-The State De-
partment has not yet received any
word from the self-styled Russian
mission that arrived in New York on
Tuesday. II is believed by officials
that the group of Russians. who were
hailed as national mission, ARE
merely in this country on some COM
mercial errand."
Petrograd's failure to announce the
coming of the mission ahead of time
is regarded as confirmation OF TINS
theory. No word concerning 1t has
been received from the Russian capt.
tai, although it is always customary
for one government to notify another
before dispatchng body OF this KIND.
The Russians arrived in New York
by British steamer. They gave their
names as Vladimir Illiaschinka, friend
of Premier Lvoff; Leon Kragernikof,
Nikola Pechkoff and Andre Mizura, and
announced that they would proceed at
once to Washington.

Balfour Considers
Conditions in Mexico
Discusses Seizure of British
Railroads with Charge
Thurstan

Washington, May 23.-E. W. P.
Thurstsn, British Charge d'Affaires at
Mexico City, has been comforting for
the last two weeks with A. J. Balfour,
British Foreign Secretary, on condi-
tons in Mexico. The action OF the
Mexican government in taking over the
control of British-owned railroads and
tho situation in the Tuxpan oil fields
were the particular subjects of discus
sion, it is said.
Mr.. Thurstan's return TO Mexico
probably will take place in a few days.
His visit here was the first 'intimation
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-24

that Mr.. Balfour and Secretary Lansing
had considered Mexico in their discus
sions. There was hint to-day that
matter concerning Mexico, upon wnich
no conclusion has been reached, pos
sbly was one Of the causes OF the de-
lay in the depasture il the British For
eign Minister.
The fact that Charge Thurstaln had
been summoned to Washington for an
interview with Mr.. Bslfour was known
TO the Mexican government and 70
European governments as well, 1t was
disclosed. The British Embassy de-
clined TO make any comment upon the
object of Mr.. Thurstan's visit, and II
could not be learned whether the IN
formation obtained would be the basis
for a common policy toward Mexico by
England and the United States.
Information was also refused upon
the steps, if any. England will take TO
regain control Of the Mexican railways,
but il is known that the British gov
eminent is dissatisfied with the action
of the Mexican authorities, IL being
said in some quarters that Carranza
seizure OF the roads and discharge OF
British employees amounts virtually to
the coniiscaton of British property.

Would Build Undersea
Merchantmen for u. S.
New London Expert Says He
Could Soon Supply Boats
for Atlantic Service
[By Telegraph TO The Tribune

New London, Conn, May 23.-Greg-
ory c. Dawson, a submarine expert
declared to-day that the Electric Boat
Company. of which he is vice-president
was ready to build undersea merchant
men for transatlantic business.
The company took up the matter OF
submarine cargo boats shortly after
the beginning Of the war, in 1914, Mr.
Dawson stated. He added that If the
government placed contracts, summers
ibles could be carrying goods to the
Allies within a short time just as eff
fectively as the Deutschland brought
goods from Germany.

cy, with that Of all the Allies, construct

Of experts in many lines would fit as

charge of the whole gigantic enter
prise. is under consideration and fast
assuming definite outline.
This man would he the worlds
super buyer. Into his hands the ma
tons at war with Germany would place
approximately slO.OoO,OOO,OOO a year
a store of money exceeding the tabled
treasures of the ancient lncas and with
no parallel in modern history.
So far has the programme progressed
that the officials entrusted with its ex-
ecution already have definite idea
as to whom they will choose. While
no final decision has been reached as
to whether one man or a small commits
sion shall be chosen, indications are
that it will be one man, and that his
selection will be announced within the
next fortnight.
Great Britain, France. Russia. Italy,
Japan, Belgium virtually all the ma
tons linked with America in the war
against Prussian autocracy- nave
agreed to the essentials of the scheme
and will sign an agreement making 1t
effective as soon as the tremendous
amount of detail involved can be ad-
justed. At present the programme
hinges on the extent to which the
United States will participate in the
pooling arrangement.
TO Bring in Army and Navy
Plans are being formulated under
which the needs of the American army
and navy would be placed in the hands
Of the commission. Heretofore the
navy has been supplied by its own buy
ers. and the army, similarly. has been
furnished everything it requires. from
brass buttons TO heavy artillery,
through contracts placed by the War
Department.
The army and navy. experts esti-
mate. will spend approximately $780,
100000 during the first year of the war.
The Allies will spend Approximately
$4,000, 100000 year, more If American
credit and American producers can
make il possible. To eliminate dupll-
cation of effort and competitive bid
ding, it is proposed TO bring all these
vast purchases under the direction of a
single organization.
To do this the War Department and
the Navy Department would have TO
surrender, in theory-but not in fact,
officials say-a part of their purchas-
ing prerogatves. The theory advanced

Russia's Needs Great

Meantime the purchases of the Allies
in this country are progressing about
as usual, with the important addition
that the government already is keeping
in close touch with the manner in
which they are spending money loaned
them, and in some cases actually di-
recting how it shall be spent. Thus,
in the case of Russia, American govern
ment officials are seeming TO place adj
vantageously orders for 500 locomo-
tives and 10000 cars. This equipment
is needed at the earliest moment. Rus
STA, it is said, is in a position to utilize
virtually all the supplies-many Of
military nature-for which trans
portation facilities can be found.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-05-24

by officials fayoring the change is tina.
greater efficiency and larger purchas-
inC power of the moneys thus expended
would result, in addition 70 elimination
Of any element Of competition.
The mechanism Of the organization
would consist primarily of directing
head and subdivisions or bureaus, each
IN !charge of purchases Of certain COM
modities. As advisers, the organization
would probably consult financial and
other experts familiar with every line
Ct industrial and commercial activity.
The bureau in charge OF foodstuffs
purchases would rank among the most
important of the subdivisions Present
plans call for placing responsibility for
all such purchases in the hands of man
knowS the world over for his ability
along this line. To him would be given
the task Of coordinating the requis-
tons of the world upon Americas
larder, of distributing American food
oquitably among the Allies and of keep
ing such close check upon production
and outgo that there would be no short
age of necessities among the American
people themselves.
To assist ths bureau head there
would be an army of expert buyers ia
mlllar WIN American markets.
Equally important would be the mu-
nitions bureau. To this subdivision
would fall the work of coordinating the
Allies demands for munitions and the
demands of the American army and
navy. Experts from the army and navy
probably would play an important part
in the work Of this bureau.
The worlds greatest clothing buyer
would have charge Of another sub
division of the organization; a separate
bureau probably would be devoted to
the purchase of coal and oil for fuel;
another to railway equipment, and
others to many other groups of the
things needed by the nations at war.
Much of the labor at present being
done by the Allies organizations and
the Council of National Defence would
pass automatically to the control of
the purchasing commission. Officials
regard it as likely that the new COM
mission will take over many duties of
the council, including the duty of keep
ing in close touch with transportation
facilities.
