RUSSIA WILL SEEK US. TRADE
DESPITE FIRM STAND IN NOTE
Soviet Representative Says European Peace
Depends on Early Agreement Between
America and Bblshevists.

until there was a peaceful Russia.
The soviet government" NJ. Kras-
sin declared, looks to America as
country where Russia can obtain ex-
which are needed in the gigantic re-
construction facing Russia. Nowhere
in the world can her present prob
lens be faced and solved as in Amer
ica. in which is the only country
which has found realization of Rus
sia's dreams of railway reconstruc-
ton. the development of mines. water
transport and the oil industry and
electrification."
Like U. s. in the Sixties.
Surveying present-day Russia. he
compared it with the United States
after the civil war. A great unde-
veloped country, surprisingly rich IN
! natural resources. he said. America
forged ahead; Russia, saddled by the
czarist regime to vicious landlord
system, which the bolshevik revolu-
tion had absolutely destroyed, only
now was able to make progress. but
seven years of war had left the coun-
try. needing every kind of machine
which the western nations produced.
IF central Russia is suffering from
lack of food" NJ. Krassin continued.
1.-The cause is lack of locomotives to
transport supplies. America can
remedy our transport problem imme-
uidlSly ny the SIipIucHt VI ioSohio-
tives already built in America. Our
horses and livestock are denlr.sl but
iron horses and tractors from America
would rehabilitate the agricultural
industry. Millions of tools are need
ed; sewing machine in every peas
ants cottage is our ideal. All these
supplies America has furnished Rus
sia in the past. and she knows the
pecularities of Russia's needs"
Excuses Propaganda.
In conclusion, reference was made
to the soviet propaganda, which he
said was the only means for Russian
intercourse abroad as long as she was
unable to establish normal nlation-
ships. The hostility OF Gre Britain
had been overcome by propaganda. in
his opinion. but since the opening of
commercial negotiations Great Brit
ain had no cause for objection to the
propaganda.
Active propaganda against the Unit
ed States had never existed. said NJ.
Krassin. and that presented more rea-
son why negotiations should be
started. He expressed confidence that
as soon as America became convinced
that the very existence of the Rus
sian socialist republic is not propa-
ganda. then We will be able to estab-
lish relations to the mutual interest
of both"

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1-Despite the un-
compromising tone of the recent note
of Secretary of State Hughes in reply
to representations by Russia for the
United States. the principal objective
of the Russian soviet government S
foreign policy is and will continue to
be the establishment of relations with
the United States, according to Leonid
krassin, the bolshevik representative
here. He refuses to recognize the at
titude of Washington as an insur-
mountable difficulty to the establish
ment of relations with the United
States whereby trade would be pos
sible.
NJ. Krassin gave these views when
interviewed by the Associated Press
today.
He stated that the admission to
America of Russian mmercial rep
resentatives was the first require
ment; the initial transactions would
then be carried out by means of cash
payments. with the question of cred
its, naturally. arising later.
VIII Offer Guarantees.
'In it's relations with foreign gov
cTnnentS the soviet government is
prepared to respect the principle of
private property and act upon the
policy of exchange of equal values in
trade" said NJ. Krassin. 'If these
guarantees are insufficient, deposits
will be placed. acceptable to financial
institutions. >insuring against viola
tion of contracts
No predictions or promises of any
great volume of trade were made. He
expected the immediate difficulties
would be transport. Concentration of
the Russian peoples energies for
three years on warfare had reduced
production to a minimum, and the
only remedy, he declared. was the
opening of relations with foreign ma
tions.
Way to European Peace.
The fact that trade had been car
ried on by soviet Russia with the
Baltic states for a year, the Russian
representative pointed out, was proof
of its practicability. 1t was newt
able that commercial relations would
be re-estab1ished with America. The
sooner they were started the sooner
Russian reconstruction would get un-
der way, and this would mean an
earlier economic peace for Europe and
the world. There would be no peace
In Europe. he added emphatically,

instructive and especially enjoyed by
the students.
Several people from Maysville are

COUNTY FAIR AT The
WASHINGTON TONIGHT
Interesting Old Race Horse Story VIII
Dc Presented In Picture To.
night and Saturday.

In the annals of rural and racing
plays no equine star OF the American
stage was ever quite so we'll beloved
as Cold Molasses who carried Neil
Burgess and his play "Thc County
Fair" through years OF recurring tri-
umphs upon the stage. Now Maurice
Tourneus has transferred this fine
story to the screen and made It the
outstanding hit of the year upon the
motion picture roster.
This rare attraction Is at the Wash
ington tonight and Gem tomorrow
night. 1t comes here with the backing
Of great hits in New York, Chicago
and elsewhere throughout the country
where 1t has been given a world of
special exploitation.
The story Is a familiar one Of a
typical New England farm community
church full of plain people living their
simple lives and pouring out for its
big climaxes to the county fair. This
familiar American institution is re-
produced in interesting detail. The
high spots are where Wesley Barry
the famous freckle-faced kid, Of the
screen chased CREASED pig, climbs
the slippery pole and does other stunts
dear to Juvenile heart of America on
any sunny day at the county fair. The
climax is the great race in which Cold
Molasses struggles against crooks and
schemers to win the big purse and
save the farm for honest Aunt Abigail
and her worthy associates who have
striven to bring about this deserved
and happy termination. Tourneus has
caught the note Of the familiar play
and enlarged upon 1t in such way
that his production spreads charm and
happiness through an evening OF
mixed emotions and delights. Little
wonder that 1t Is the talk of the coun-
try and the outstanding hit Of the sea-
son in the big picture houses. Where
ever 1t has been presented the returns
all Indicate that 1t fills a long felt
want in the theaters.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS

day School Drive Than
Now.

Just two weeks from Sunday until
Kentucky's eighth "Go-to-Sunday-
School-Day'. The campaign this year
has been on different, and much bet
ter lines than on any previous year.
First the schools were urged to i'm
prove their organization. That was
during the month of February. During
March the work of evangelization was
carried on, thus preparing the way for
an aggressive movement during April
to bring in new members. The work
in Mason county Is In better shape
than for years. Practically every
school is in line for the campaign. The
next two weeks will be the time for
visiting, inviting, and If needs be-
compelling-the people to come in, as
was done in the Savior's time on
earth. Window cards, tags and pro-
grams will be sent to every school in
the county next week. They are urged
to at once have the cards in every
home. II the home sets too far back
from the road to be seen, post the
card at the entrance to the farm. Let
the world know that yau are going to
Sunday school, Then the tags can be
used to help with your personal in
vitation. Wear a tag yourself and
urge everyone you come in contact
with to do the same.
The programs are the official pro-
gram gotten out by the state assccia-
tion. It In no wise aims to take the
place Of the lesson period or any of
the regular exercises of the school.
Schools should give plenty of time for
the lesson period. For that is the day
when many strangers are going to
form an opinion Of how the Bible is
taught in your Sunday school. Teach
ers should spend much time in study
and prayer, preparing for this impor-
tant service. Don't forget to report
your attendance-this is very impor-
tant.
