Trading With Soviet Russia

THOSE commercial interests In this coun-
L try, whether inspired by altruistic mo-
tive or business enterprise. which have
been clamoring for opportunity to trade
with Soviet Russia. now have the permits
sion of the Washington government to go
ahead. However, they are warned that
they must do SO at their own risk and with
out any guarantee from this government
against the consequences Of such venture
someness. In substance, the State Depart
ment lifts the commercial prohibitions
which have been in force since the rise to
power OF the Soviet government without
granting any political recognition whatever.
Aside from meeting the complaints of home
interests against the trade prohibitions. it
is said that the concessions were made by
the State Department in the belief that the
ultimate effect upon Russian sentiment
would be to weaken confidence in Soviet
rule, rs II is foresccn such lifting OF the
ban upon foreign trade will prove disap-
pointing in the relief of the economic de-
preston which Lenine and Trotzky have
stoutly commended would Immediately fol-
low such action.
Having been granted the privilege for
which they asked. it will be interesting to
observe the course these commercial inter
ests will. pursue in taking advantage Of it.
Ihat there is Il demand in Soviet Russia
for all the wares that may be transported
there, goes without saying. Naturally, the
traders will want their goods accompanied
by personal representatives. and on this
score they will have 10 trouble. for the
State Department will not decline to issue
the necessary passports, regardless of the
personal risk assum ed by the applicants.
Hence, 1t may be assumed that there will
be no difficulty about landing the goods

VIII be but the beginning Of the ambitious
trade adventure. Transportation facilities
Ill Russia are poor. but there will be little
trouble about the goods securing wide
distribution. The dictatorship of the pro-
lctariat will see to that-without prolonged
fciency with which their interests are safe
guarded. The outstanding rule in Soviet
government is, when In doubt-confscate.
Trading with Il people who deny all private
rights in property is easy, if one is willing
to accept whatever they offer as equivalent
value.
1t is said Republican leaders will at
tempt to make all issue in the present cam

Withholding protection from these proposed
traders with Soviet Russia. Let them make
the issue, if they dare. 1t would only add
