for themselves. France owes the
United States thirteen and One-haif

The interest of France lay not in Secur-

owed America. but in securing American
assistance in collecting the two hundred

under the treaty. This truth is now

The writer asked NJ. Krassin how
credit arrangements could be entered
into between the United States and
Russia in view of the differences
in economic principles.
1T would be premature to enter
into detail" was the reply. but it
can be done. In our foreign trade
relations we recognize the principles
Of private property and the exchange
of equivalent values. Here in Eng
land we shall open a bank through
which exporters and importers will
deal with us. We could do the same
in the United States. Our credit
abroad would be secured by our
timber. or by concessions of mineral
resources. such as. oil.
After all. the final guarantees for
whatever credit advances are made
to US are the Russian people them
selves. their resources and their ca
pacIty for work. England under
stands this. No modern country rea-
sOnably can refuse to trade with an
other country with which it is at
peace. because of political and eco
nomic differences. Russian economic
institutions have always differed
from the American, but that has not
prevented the two countries from
carrying on trade in the past and
should be no obstacle to trade in the
future.

LONDON, England. April 30.-On
the eve of his departure for Russia
Leonid krassin. head of the Russian
trade delegation to England, gave the
writer a special interview in order
to answer through the columns Of
The Star some of the questions rails
ed in the United States with regard
to Russo American trade relations.
l asked NJ. krassin whether it was
true, as had been said. that there
was nothing to hinder the resumption
Of Russo american trade and that
trade between the United States and
Russia was actually going on
That is not so," was NJ krassin's
reply. There are no trade relations
between Russia and the United
States al the present time. There can
be none until conditions for ;1ch a
trade are created. In order to carry
on commerce with a country it is
follow the business activities in that
country, to study its markets, to
keep in touch with its business men
and to make banking arrangements.
We must have men on the spot who
can discover the best offers and
who can represent us in our dealings
with American manufacturers.
Must Have Agencies.
"In other words. no real trade rela-
tons between two countries are pos
sible unless each country can have
trade agencies or representatives
through whom it can deal. Without
such facilities all that is possible is
to buy and sell in haphaZard way.
This really is all there is to the So
called trade between the United
States and Russia. We are making
casual purchases in hit or miss
fashion in your country.
Another thing must be kept in
mind. No country can buy unless it
sells. In order to sell one must have
a chance to exhibit ones wares, meet
ones customers and advertise. This
again means that We must have some
one who can represent our trade in
terests in the United States and find
a sale for our exports"
There is wide belief in the United
States that Russia has nothing to
SELL" I remarked
NJ. Krassins hands went I'D and
down in vivid gesture.
Yes" he said. Russia is in a state
of economic exhaustion War and
blockade have left US in the condi-
countries are no better off. Austria
is in ruins and all of central Europe
is on the verge of an economic col
lapse. We do not promise the i'm
mediate resumption of exports on the
Tre-war scale. We shall begin in a
modest way. but the longer the United
States delays selling to us and buy
ing from us the longer will Russia
nd Europe remain in it's present state
Of chaos"
You would want long term credits,
them"
