Lenine Plans Alliance,
Perhaps With Germany
By the Associated Press

Amsterdam, Sept. 16.-IIints that
the Bolshevik Government of Rus.
sia may seek alliance with other
Powers are contained in a note
addressed to the peoples commits
saries and soviets by Nikolai Le-
nine, the Bolshevik Premier,
printed in the Pravda, of Petru-
grad, and republished in the Lokal
Anzeiger, of Berlin. The note
reads:
THE position on the Czecho-
Slovak front is becoming more
dangerous daily. We are daily be-
coming increasingly convinced that
alone we are powerless. For the
Soviet Government there is only
one way out, namely, to conclude
a defensive and offensive alliance
with another Power.
"ln order to save the power of
the workers and peasants, we must
not even reCoil from an alliance
with imperialists."

guiding indications. Permit me to
bring them to your attention.
First The conflict of the Russian
revolution with the Russian capitalists
absolutely does not interest German
manufacturing circles, in Sc far as the
question does not concern industry as
such. You can destroy the Russian
capitalists as far as you please, but 1t
would by no means be possible to per-
NIT the destruction Gf Russian enter
priscs. Such situation would pro-
duCe a constant fcrment in the coun-
try, supported by famine of materials
and, in consequence of that. of prod
ucts also. The English. American and
French capitalists take advantage of
this disorder and understand how to
establish here Corps of their CONNER
cial agents. 1t is necessary to remem-
Der that German industry in the first
years after the general peace will not
be in a position to satisfy the purchas-
ing demand II the Russian market,
having broad similar parallel tasks in
the Near East in Persia, in China and
in Africa.
Second 1t is essential. therefore, to
conduct a canvass and gather statisti-
cal information with regard to the con-
dtion of industry, and, in view Of the
absence Df money in Russia, to address
in business conversations whichever is
desired of the groups of German COM
merCial banks.
Third Trade with Germany may be
in the first period almost exclusively
exchange for wheat and for any re-
naming products to receive household
necessities. Everything which exceeds
the limits of such trade should be paid
for in advance to the amount of IS per
cent of the market value, with the
payment of the remaining quarter in a
six months period. In pace Of such
an arrangement, probably ii would
seem to be possible to permit privately
the taking of German dividend shares
on the Russian financial market. or
soidly guaranteed industrial and rail-
road leans.
In view Of the indicated interest of
German manufacturers and merchants
in trade relations in Russia, / cordi-
ally beg you. Mr.. Chairman. to in
form me Of the views of the Govern
mcnt regarding the questions touched
upon, and to receive the assurances of
my sincereSt respeCt.-Representa
of the Imperial Bank ard stock En-
change in Berlin, G. Won Schanz.
"Note-The engaging attitude of tn
German manufacturers toward Russia
capitalists is the feature of this letter
apart from the cordial and evidently un
derstanding expressions of the repre-
sentatives of the' German Imperial Ban
to that supposed enemy of the capitalist
of all nations, Lenin. The letter was sen
to the secret department by Secretar

His utterances were made at hear
ing on the bill held by the House In
terstate Commerce Committee.
Doctor Garfield figured that where 81
100000 tons of coal were now used to
run group of isolated and individual
plants, capable of producing 90,000,000
tons. only 100000 would be required
to furnish fuel for centrally located
plant.
The Sims bill carries an appropria-
ton of $20O,0OG,0OO, and Is intended
to supply the increased needs of elec-
trical power plants which, the adminis-
tration has announced, urgently require
financial assistance to meet the great
and growing demands being made upon
them for additional power.
