English Diplomacy Wins

| asking for trade relations with the
Unite States, and is willing and
ready to pay cash and give conces-
Sions.
This assertion is made by L. L.
Bobroff, consulting engineer in the
Majestic building, who has returned
from New York, where he was in
conference with representatives of
the soviets.
Russia does not need food; she
can fed herself" said Mr.. Bobroff.
What she is in need of is the fin
ished product: shoes, clothing, trac-
tors, shop equipment and trucks.
Tractors are needed for cultivating
the land and motor trucks for trans
porting the food from tie farm to
the city until the railroads are ex-
tended. Transportation is an i'm
portant factor in every country, and
especially in Russia, where distances
are great.
cine opposition to the soviet gov
eminent comes from the remnants of
the old regime, which seeks the res
toration of another car. I wish the
American manufacturer to get the
truth of the situation. A New York
newspaper printed an article the
other day that our goods are barred
from Italy, while the goods of the
other allies are favored. This will
result in all countries, if we don't
take advantage of the Russian situa-
ton and the Iussian market.

only ready to pay cash money &C
ceptable to the American business
man, but it also is willing to send
back here products which we need
such as hides, flax, hemp, furs, lum-
Der, grain, platinum, metals and
minerals.
