Hamburg June 26.-(By The A. P.) It Is the purpose of the German ship ping. industrial and banking interests here to take the initiative in carrying on business with Russia. An important step in this direction already has been taken by the organization of the Ger Russian Transport Company, in which the soviet government officially holds one-half interest, and which will exercise general supervision of rail and water traffic between German ports and Russian destinations.
 A leading member of the Warburg bank house told the Associated Press today that German commercial interests purposed to take the Moscow regime as it is, and as a government in fact. He said he did not look for the eatly down. fall of Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trot- zkv. and that he believed their forced disappearance from the government would result in unspeakable chaos,
 The banker said he could not under stand why the United States ignored the present soviet administration in Russia.
 "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 Russian problem is SC intricate that a solution of 1t is inpos- sib!e of achievement by any one power or by private groups. It calls for CO., ordination and international collabora- ton"
 At the offices of the Hamburg -Ameri can line, which controls the other hall interest in the new German-Russian Transport company. the correspondent found a feeling of optimism with respec to early nroSnects for an active resump ton of trading between Germany ant Ruseia.
