Russia Tempts
Germany Anew
For Trade Aid
Soviet Is Ready to Supply
500 Millions in Exports
for Lo co motives and
Other Finished Goods
By William C.. Dreher
Special Gable to The T'-tbuns

Copyright. 1920, New York Tribune Ino
BERLIN, May 2o.--The Russian Soviet
government continues to tempt the
Germans with Inducements TO cooperate
IN the rebuilding Of the Russian Geo.
nomlc system. Before leaving Copen-
nagen Tor London, Gregory Krassin,
BoIshevlk Minister Of Trade and Com
merce, gave lengthy interview to the
Berlin newspaper, saying Russia would
be able to export fax, hemp, turpen-
tine, tar and especially timber to the
value OF b00,000,000 gold rubles IN
payment for locomotives, machinery
and other finished goods.
Russia would be willing to give
concessions for exploiting It's natural
resources and the production Of raw
materials and later for the erection of
lactofies. lumber concessionaires
would supply machinery for the plants
laborerss and pay them. though the
concessionaires would be allowed to
oTfer premium for the best work.
Offers Cotton Concessions
hrassln pointed out that enough,
cotton could be produced in Turkestan
to supply not only Russia's, but also
Germany's requirements. The Sovie,
government would grant cotton con-
cesslons as soon as railroad facilities
are improved. Wheat growing conces-
slons also are contemplated for foreign
colonists who would be given economic
autonomy.
Russia also would give concessions
for canal construction along the Volga
and Don rivers. This would afford
seaport connections for the timber
producers. Construction Of railroads
in timbered regions also would be AZ
ranged.
Krassin said the Soviet government
had succeeded in increasing the out
put of laborers by abolishing time
wages and returning to the system
Of piecework and premiums. Each
industry is organized on national
basis and under single commission
1T operates as whole on the principle
OF obtaining the cheapest production.
Hence small or inadequate factories
are being shut down, while only the
large modern plants are operating.
Krassin said that wherever workers
know they are toiling for the public
good they are willing.
Owing to the lack Of coal, all loco
motives have been reconstructed for
wood firing
Peasants Support Soviet
The peasants have become supporters
of the Soviet system, because the gov
eminent fulfilled their two chief wants
ending the war and giving them
ownership of land. Nevertheless. the
peasants are not thorough Communists.
Krassin, however. believes they viii!
become Communists in several decades,
The peasants hated all conquerors like
Kolchak, Denekin and Yudenditch, be-
cause their troops everywhere pillaged
the peasants and brought back the
big landowners.
The governments policy in dealing
with the peasants is TO take certain
after the peasants own requirements
have been satisfied. Thus the richest
peasant gives as much as 10 per cent
and even moro to the government; :;
others 10 per cent, and the poores st
| nothing.

3red thousand prisoners OF war still
remain in Siberia, it Is estimated by
the Swedish Red Cross, according to
Dr.. Fridtjof NaRsen an interview
with whom is published here. In ad-

Russian prisoners in Germany and
10000 in France, he says.

tion Of repatriation of prisoners,
and says the principal difficulty to
be overcome is in the matter OF
transportation. He explains that
prisoners in Siberia have been rec
commended by telegraph to try to

BERLIN, May Count Hermann

SouI-physician to post-bellum Ger
many, with its profound moral mala-
oies. lie is addressing himself to the
task OF reawakening the dormant spr-
ltual energies Of the people with COM
mendab!e zeal and it is pleasant 70
record the fact that his Influence ia
Vlslbly growing. The following para
graphs are the conclusion Of n recent
address delivered by him in Berlin:
Inc deepesu-!ylng cause Of Ger
many's low estate is from every point
OF view nothing else than lack Of the
feeling OF responsibility. That loatb-
some manifestatlon that has latterlv
neen called q Jolly bankruptcy feeling
IS thing that has existed for manv.
many years. Against it nothing can
De done from the outside; the remedy
Hes solely IN the growth of a feeling
of responsibility to ones self. And i
must ever be taken to heart that it is
no lhdlferent matter how each man.
no" every man stands toward himself
thoughts are positive forces; thcv
transform men into their own image.
whoever does not respect himself be-
comes desplcable, quite objectivelv.
whoever has no feeling Of responsible
!ty becomes irresponsible in the deep
est metaphysical sense
External things are always only an
expression OF what is within. and. pro
Ioundiy understood, are symbolical.
For that reason all outward reforms
as such never offer any help. What
multitudinous reforms we are having
IN Germany to-day: church, school
university, society, constitution, army,
And we already see by now that there
IS not the slightest result from it all.
On the contrary, the breakup of ac
customed habits robs the German Of
ms last remnant of solid ground on
which to stand. The heart of the
problem, that on which everything de-
pends-n namely, that the Germans be-
come different men, with deeper lives
is not Al all grasped.
w ny have we to-day no faith. no
moral eaIneStness? Why is the So
called nation OF thinkers without any
depth? Because the Germans no
longer take themselves seriously. With
evident delight they stultfy and debase
themselves before themselves and be-
fore others, and if at any time things
go badly insults are heaped upon the
leaders OF the day and cry is raised
for the great man. ~ we nre air-ora
