SOVIET POSTS
CREDIT FUNDS
Deposits s2O0,0OO,OOO in Gold

The Russian Soviet government
has just deposited two hundred NIL
lions in gold with banks in Copen-
hagen TO establish trade credits with
the United States and other nation,
according TO information received
today by the State Department from
it's agents abroad.
NUCLEUS FOR CREDIT.
The only nope for a Russian com
merce OF any volume. experts here Gs-
sert. lies in the possibility Of utilizing
this gold as a credit nucleus for :.
three-cornered trade by which Lenin
may sell his surplus wheat and raw
materials to Scandinavia and Great
Britain and buy American manufac-
tured products with the proceeds.
According to ofhcial reports to the
department, Russia at present has
practically nothing in the way OF raw
materials which the United States mas
need Of. She has some siberian
wheat, a email quantity OF furs and
bristles. and a considerable surplus OF
fax. America has no need of Russian
wheat and the flax Is not suitable for
American manufacture. American I'm
porters would be glad enough to get
the furs and bristles, but the amount
of these commodities is said TO be to
small to form any considerable vol
ume OF trade.
FOREIGN CAPITAL NEEDED.
