RUSSIA'S NEW TRADE POLICY

TIME failure of communism in Russia has
u forced the Soviet Government to modify
its economic policy. 1t will be recalled that
the Soviets attempted in the first place to
run everything. This plan broke down be-
cause 1t resulted in ousting from the direc-
ton OF industry the men capable of man
aging large enterprises.
The old managers were then hired at large
salaries to save the industries from wreck.
But this plan has failed. 4 new economic
program has just been announced by For
eign Trade Minister Krassin, which de-
parts still further from the communist ideal.
Mr.. Krassin says that the Soviet Govern
ment recognizes no right Of private prOp-
erty in the ownership Of goods or factories
This is communism, pure and simple While
there can be no private ownership, he an
nounces that former owners who wish TO
reopen their factories may secure n con
cession from the Government and mav
operate the industries on q royalty basis
III the former owners do not wish TO receive
the concessions, other men may take over
the management on the royalty basis. Thus
we have what IL known in the United States
ne Government ownership and private op-
GRAFTON. The United Gas Improyempnt
Company operates the city gas plant under
such plan and pays to the city ROYALTY
on the gas sold. When we recall the com =.
plications that have arisen over renewal
Of the concession to the gas company here
some conception of what will happen in
Russia with concessions for every great
industry may be formed.
II the plan does not break down it will
be because the Russians have devcloprd
greater administrative genius than the
Americans.
The Soviet Government is to continue t.
control exports and imports. An exception
10 to be made in favor of foreign holders o.
concessions who are to be allowed to i'm
port their own machinery and supplies with
out the intervention Of the Government anC
70 export manufactured goods or produce
What effect this arrangement will hav,
upon the economic life of Russia is of les!
interest to business men in foreign countries

that China is waking up. Here she moves
safely and sancly. A few leagues farther

there are pitfalls. Sleepy China has kept

confound the meretricious with the valuable,
so easy to mistake the glittering and bonn

BY SARAH ID. LOWRIE

r WAS asking Mrs. Henry Collins the
L other evening when we were dining to-
gether how her sister, Mrs. Bayard Henry,
was enjoying her visit to ''potentates'' in
Belgium. She then told me the following
story about her own experience with Bel
gians in this country, apropos not so much
of my question about Mrs. Henry as that l
had spoken disparagingly of the rank and file
of the Belgians for being very much ION the
make in spite Of their national heroic stand
and sacrifice in the war. She said that her
experience of them as individuals had been
just the reverse, and as proof recited the
adventures of one of their number, which
she averred typifed the adaptability of some
of the race and their honesty.
