GERMANY IS AFTER
RUSSIAN BUSINESS
COMPANY FORMED TO FACIlI-
TATE COMMERC BETWEEN
EUROPEAN NATIONS
Shipping, Industrial and Banking In
terests Unite In Endeavor To
Stimulate Trade and Return
Business To Normal

Hamburg.-It is the purpose of the
German shipping. industrial and bank
ing interests here to take the initia
tive in carrying on business with Rus
STA. An important step has been TAX
en- by the organization of the German
Russian Transport company, in which
the soviet government holds half
interest and which will exercise gen.
eral supervision of rail and water
traffic between Germany and Russia.
The new organization has only
capital of 100000 marks, as at pres
ent it contemplates using only the
service of German traffic experts who
will serve the soviet government in
an advisory capacity, as Russia, by
the agreement, assumes the payment
| of all transportation and operating
charges connected with the forward
ing Of commodities purchased for
Russia to Germany.
| A leading member of the Warburg
bankink house told the Associated
! Press Sunday that German CONNER
cial interests purposed to take the
Moscow regime as it is. He said he
did not look for the early downfall
of NikOlat Lenine and Leon TrotZky,
and he believed their forced diSap-
pearance from the government would
result in chaos
| The banker said he failed to under
stand why the United States ignored
! the soviet administration.
1--WE believe Russia Is becoming
more liberal. and are not inclined to
share the opinion prevailing in many
quarters that the country is being run
by radicals" he continued.
The banker said he firmly believed
that the task of winning back Rus
STA" could not be accomplished with
out active participation of German in
terests and technical skill.
He reflected opinions expressed by
,ther leaders of Hamburg's CONNER
cial interests. At the office of the
Hamburg American line, which con
trolls the other half interest in the new
German-Russian Transport company
the correspondent found feeling OF
optimism on early prospects for an
Iactive resumption of trading between
Germany and Russia.
That the United States. by defer
ring action of recognizing Russia. was
depriving itself Of practical advan
tages which should be seized immed
lately was the opinion expressed by
one Of the German shipping leaders
He said the newly founded German
Russian Transport company only hat
the framework for comprehensive
forwarding service.
The Hamburg American line is plac
ing its traffic experts at the dispose
of the soviet government. They will
work in conjunction with the sovie,
trade commission recently established
in Berlin.
All purchases are to be made by
the Russian government exclusively
pending the restoring of free trading
