1T has been brought to my at

Mr.. cambridge Colby made state
ment to the effect that | was in
Moscow at the instigation of Senator
(now president elect Harding ne
gotiating for recognition of Soviet
Russia by the United States, | came
to Russia to acquire for the Wander
lip syndicate on terms of sixty years,
100000 square miles of Russian ter
ritory rich in oil, coal and fish. This
acquisition gives the United States
control Of the oil situation on the
Pacific. | have also obtained an I'M
derstanding whereby the Russian
government will purchase in the
United States during 1921 merchan-
disc worth 100000 offering
in payment gold, platinum, furs, oil,
oil products, Manganese, copper, tim
Der pulp wood, hides, grain and
other raw materials.
Payment is Ready
Great quantities of these supplies
are ready for immediate shipment
to America. The commodities not
needed in the United States will be
distributed thruout European count
ries. In a few months the unsettled
condition in the far east which have
enabled Japan to secure almost
complete monopoly on trade, will be
brought back to normal conditions
and goods purchased in America and
most freely from Pacific ports over
the Chinese eastern railway and the
Siberia railway as we'll as the Baltic
seaports, the Murmansk ports and
the Black sea ports.
The Vanderlip Syndicate purposes
to act as finance agents for the Rus
sian government Immediately upon
trade traffic and the abandonment
of the British blockade. The Rus
sian government is capable of carry
ing out any trade contracts because
1t is to the interest of the soviet gov
eminent to develop economic rela-
tions such as stipulated by this con-
tract.
'The Russian government is the
Oldest in Europe today. It's ministery
has not been changed in upwards of
years which is not true of any other
first-class European power.
Benefit All America
Cali parts of the United States
will benefit by the reservations in
trade relations-from California to
Maine, from Washington to Florida.
Factories will expand and run on full
time. Farmers, merchants and all
classes Of labor will share in the
prosperity. If the majority of Ameri-
can people will no longer tolerate
the chatoic conditions prevailing in
Europe they must seize this great
opportunity to bring and reconstruc-
ton to the world. The Keystone of
these conditions is the opening of
trade relations
