GREAT STOCKS OF
FOOD TO EXPORT
HELD IN RUSSIA
Bolshevik Representative Is
Pleased Trade Relations With
Allies to Reopen.

Copenhagen, Jan. lS.-Maxim Lit
vlnoff, Russiap bolshevik repre-
sentative conferring here with James
O'Grady. British delegate, regard
ing an exchange Of war prisoners
and interned civilians, is much graft
fed by the announcement from the
supreme council in Paris that trade
relations will be opened between
the allies and the people of soviet
Russia. He considers the action
tantamount to raising the blockade
and says it will have an enormous
effect on the economic situation in
Russia. q
Russia has great stocks Of goods
for export, especially flax, hemp,
timber, hides, furs and platinum, he
says, and particularly needs machin-
cry, agricultural implements and
railway materials. He declares there
is plenty of food in Siberia and
other sections, but there is lack
of transportation facilities. He urges
that it will Ge necessary to allow
russia 10 SCHu SplCSSHtaliNSS
abroad if trade with the outside
world is to be a reality, and de-
clares soviet Russia will freely admit
commercial and other representa-
tives on a reciprocal basis.
Mr.. O'Grady calls attention to the
diplomatic wording of the coun-
cil's announcement, but is evidently
pleased by any step in the direction
of raising the blockade. He points
out he has encountered the, blockade
at every turn in his work Of arrang-
ing for the transport OF goods to
British citizens in Russia.
1t is expected by the British dele
gate that wounded British prisoners
in the hands of the bolshevik will
all be out of Russia next week, and
that the remainder of the British
prisoners will be at liberty in a fort
night.
Mr.. O'Grady hopes ship can
leave England on February 6 with
certain Russian prisoners, calling at
Denmark for other Russians who
are being held here.
