TWO PREbdlERS AGREE
ON TRADE WITH SOVIET
BY Ed. L. Keen

Omitted Press Correspondent
London, Feb. 23.-Premiers lloyd
George of England and Nitti of Italy
have agreed to complete resumption
of commercial relations with Russia,
but will have no diplomatic dealings
with the soviet government, it was
reported today, just before resump-
ton of the conference council of pre-
miers.
These two premiers feel that COM
mercial relations should be resumed
at once, because of the European
economic situation, it is reported. If
the soviet government demonstrates
it's ability to survive, diplomatic rela-
lions must inevitably follow resump-
ton of commerce. It is believed that
Premier Millerand, representing
France, will accept the propositionZ

Seeking to Interest Bemidji in
Becoming North Terminal
of New Orleans Route
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
THIS PART OF STATE
Other. Live Minnesota Cities
Are Lending Cooperation in
Project Along Mississippi

Truman Pierson, president Of the
Mississippi River Scenic Highway AS
ISOLATION, spent Sunday in Bemidjl IN
an effort to interest the Bemldjl CIV
il and Commerce association and cltl-
zens in making Bemidji the terminal
of the highway which begins at New
Orleans and extends north into min
nesOta.
Mr.. Pierson is much enthused over
extending the north terminal to this
city and is anxious that Bemidji or
ganize an association to help bring
this about. Cass Lake, Walker, Lit
tie Falls and Brainerd have already
taken steps to cooperate and the
matter will be taken up at the AS
ISOLATION luncheon Wednesday noon.
Leaders of Promotion
Hand in hand with the develop
ment of the Mississippi Valley Asso-
citation Waterways Association, is
proceeding the valley highway devel-
opment, under the direction OF the
Mississippi River Scenic Highway AS
ISOLATION, an organization visioned
| by the late w. F. Coan of Clinton,
| Iowa, and more recently brought to
l. life by such men as w. H. Harley,
! secretary Of the, Memphis Chamber
| of Commerce. w. H. Holsteen of Bur-
lington, Iowa; Thomas A. Scherer of
Quincy, Illinois; A. E. Nissen of Iowa
| City; Captain II. B. Watkin, OF WI
mona, Minnesota; George H. Nc
Adams of Quincy, Illinois, and E. G..
Fairfield, Muscatine, Iowa.
These men and more like them
gave new life and pep to this great
highway that will extend from Lake
Itasca, above St. Paul, to New Or
leans, closely following all way the
banks of the great Father of Waters,
ltraversing the states Of Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Iowa., Illinois, Missouri
+! Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
Bemidii to New Orleans
If the association of Bemidji will
organize a Scenic committee and Sc
cure from 100 to 1875 members, indi-
cations are that the north terminal
will doubtless be the headquarters
for the northern division, which ex-
tends north from Dubuque, Iowa. 1t
will mean another big highway tap
ping this north country and every
sign post erected from Bemidji to
New Orleans will designate the num-
Der of miles to both BemidJl and New
Orleans.
