TRADE WITH RUSS
AND HUNS LIKELY
IN SPITE Of VETO
BY BART CAMPBELL,
international News Service staff
Correspondent.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. l. tmmedi 70
ate re establishment OF the trade re-
lations between this country and
Germany and Russia was declared
today by senators from agricultural
states to be a possible development
OF the business and agricultural
crisis facing the American people.
These senators, Democratic as well
as Republican, declared congress
must do something at once to pro-
vide an outlet for surplus American
products.
The belief is growing among mem
bers of congress, it was said, that
the strong demands OF business and
agricultural interests might result in
the passage of the Lodge resolution
ending the state of war with Ger
many at this session of congress even
over President Wilson's veto.
Certain Republican senators, nota :
bly, Borah, of Idaho, and Norris, or
Nebraska, are prepared at the outset
OF the coming session, they said, TO
wage a hard fight for the lifting by
this country of the economic DOCK
ade of Russia.
Senator Norris will propose, at the
Joint conference Of the senate ana
house agricultural committees 10
morrow, to consider the acute agrl-
cultural situation, that one or the
most practicable means TO relieve
American farms from the present
financial stress about which they
arc complaining Is to throw VIDE
open the markets Of Russia to their
products
Harrison for 1t.
Senator Pat Harrison, Of Missis-
sinni, ore of the Democratic leaders
az The senate and n member OF the
senate agricultural committee. was
one OF those who declared foreign
markets must be utilized to permit
the free export Of American prod
ucts. ..,,,o,
''This is not party nor secuonal
question that Is demanding speedy
action by congress-" Senator Harrl-
son said. ut is one that involves
the welfare of the whole American
people. We have simply got to nno
an outlet for our products.
"There is being organized in the
South under the Edge bill corpora
ton to care for the cotton situation
By furnishing exports and credits Tor
the cotton Anen. | trust other agri-
cultural interests will avail them
selves of the same opportunity ar
forded them by the Edge bill.
II would like to see congress ar
range to take over 81 per cent OF the
stock in every corporation formed
under the Edge bill, and If necessary
shall propose legislation at the
coming session to that end.
~ do not know whether 1t Is FEAST
BILE or not, but II seems to me the
idea Of using German property held
: hy the alien property custodian in
this country as basis for extending
IS to Germany is an excellent
one"
