Dealing with difficulties in develop

Dealing with difficulties in develop ing trade with Russia, M. Ghambas- nidze said Great Britain must not be satisfied with commercial travellers whose only equipment was a catalogue and an interpreter. Germans acquired other languages and were able to ob-
 tain trade. The young Englishman
 seeking trade would have to visit
 Russia, ascertain her conditions. and
 study her requirements.
 A large section of the trading com-
 munity of Russia, he said. opposed
 giving preference to any country. In future the Russian peasant would re- quire more commodities than before the war and. under free government. would demand them. He would get more food an Russia would have less to export. There could be no doubt, he predicted. that there was going to be a shortage of foodstuffs, all over the world and, if they took bread from the Russian peasant and called 1t de- veloping the export trade, they would | suffer in another 6irection by depriv- I ing him of his buying capacity.
 Russia, he said, had no mercantile 1 marine. It was of the greatest i'm 1 portance that she should have the ! Dardanelles. It was impossible to 1 speak with certainty as to the future of 8 country in which 200,O00,000 in- habitants had been set free.
