RUSS CAMPAIGN
BY United Press.

BY United Press
London, Jan. 6.-Russia's military
campaign next summer will be gov
erned by the outcome of her trade
negotiations, 1t became apparent
here today. Her trade, it is believed
will determine what region is to be
attacked as well as the time for
the campaign.
Trade with the British has been
held in allegiance for more than six
months, but sort of unofficial com
merce has been built up as a nucleus
for the full resumption of trade
relations. The allegiance was brought
about by the British demands that
the soviets cease scattering propa-
ganda.
