TRUSTING FORWARD

WASHINGTON, July 6-Decreased
production and impaired credits in
Soviet Russia, officials here believe
make impossible any material increase
in commerce, notwithstanding remov-
al by the state department of restric-
tions on trade. The departments S

planned that the restrictions on trade
in materials that might be used for
war purposes are still in effect and
that the departments action Is not
to be construed as any political rec
ognition Of any Russian authority. In
dividual export licenses will be re-
quired and these will be granted only
in exceptional cases. The shipment
will be made at the owners risk.
No Passports to be Issued
The removal of restrictions was pre-
ceded by a series Of representations
by representatives of commercial
houses. Regarding the acceptance Of
Russian commodities, the title to
which may be questioned, the state de-
partment included in it's announce
ment warning, adding that assistance
which the United States can normally
extend to its citizens cannot be looked
for in Russia. No passports for trav-
cling in that country will be issued.
and no change has been made in mail
facilities.
The department added that while
there appears to be available in Russia
for export only small quantity of raw

the law-abiding people in Russia
should be deprived of any assistance
which can be derived from such trad
ing as may be possible"
