most unique and comprehensive in
the history of the world. Financial
experts together with business, agri-
cultural and trade organizations will
go to Vladivostok and move slowly to
the westward.
They will aid in re-establishing
credit, save the crop movement and
endeavOr to increase the confidence
of the Russians with each other, as
well as aiding in the building up of
transportation facilities and in
short will do everything in their pow
er to help along new movement in
Russia.
Big Results Are Expected.
The outgrowth of this movement it
is confidently believed will be a
spontaneous and enthusiastic rally to
the banner of the 'inter-allied army
of business"

achievement will be heralded through
out the whole of Russia.
And the purpose above everything
else will be duly proven and con-
