SAYS BRITISH PLANS
FOR RUSSIAN TRADE
HAVE Been DEFEATED

GLASGOW, Scotland, Oct. 13-
British plans for trading with Russia
have been defeated it was declared
by Sir Robert Stevenson Horne, chan
cellor of the exchequer. in an address
here last night. He said that this was
partly the result of the Russian fam
inc, and could be attributed in some
measure to the fact that Russian ex-
tremists had been more anxious to
spend their gold in propaganda than
in buying goods.
Sir Robert disclaimed lack of SYM
pathy for Russia and asserted he had
tested the loyalty of some of his
friends by concluding the trade agree
ment with the soviet government. He
added he was prepared to defend that
agreement because he believed the
world would never recover until Rus
sia was again producing grain and
also because he believed the best way
to break down Bolshevism would be
to penetrate Russia with honest com.
mercial methods"
Nothing can be gained by sending
goods to Russia" he went on, "for il
is perfectly certain the Russians have
nothing to give in exchange. While
they may have accumulated stocks
they have means of transportation
Sending goods to Russia at present
would mean making gifts to them. and
Great Britain is not in a position today
to make presents to anyone"
