SOVIET OBJECTIVE ESTABLISHMENT OF RELATIONS WITH J. s.
Refuse to Recognize Insur- mountabIe Difficulty In WaShingon Governments
 Refusal to Negotiate
By Associated prnsa


 London, April 1.--Despite the uncom- promising tone of the recent note of Sec retary of State Hughes in reply to rep resentations by Russia for tr,e opening Of trade relations with 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, ac- cording to Leonid Krassin the bolshevik representative here. He refuses to recog- nize the attitude of Washington as al, irsurmountable difficulty to the estab- lishment of relations with the United States whereby trade would be possible. M. krassin gave these views when in- terviewed by the Associated Press today. He stated that the admission to Amer ica of Russian commercial representa- lives was the first requirement., the in- itial transactions would then be carried out by means of cash payments, with the question of credits, naturally. arising later.
 "In it's relations with foreign govern rnents tho soviet government is pre- pared to respect the principle of private property and act upon the policy of ex change of equal values in trade" said Nj. krassin. "Tf these guarantees are insufficient, deposits will be placed, ac- ceptable to financial institutions, insur- ing against violation of contracts"
 No predictions or promises of any great volume of trade were made. He expected the immediate differnents would De transport. Concentration of the Rus san peoples energies for three years on defensive warfare had reduced produc- tion to a minimum and the only remedy, he declared, was the opening of rela- tioRs with foreign nations.
 The fact that trade had been carried on by soviet Russia with the Baltic states for a year, the Russian represen- tsstive pointed out, was proof of it's prac- ticability If was inevitable that com mercial relations would be re-established with America. The sooner they were started the sooner Russian reconstruc- tion would get under way and this would mean an earlier economic peace for Eu- rope and the world. There would be no peace in Europe, he added emphatically, until there was a peaceful Russia.

By Associated Press

New York, April 1.-The story of how 70 undesirables deported to Russia on the steamer Esthonia last February leadership of a woman, Rosa Oradov sky, was told here today by II. J. Sl1ef fington, an immigration commissioner of Boston, wno returned from England on the Adriatic. Conditions became so bad that the captain at one time con sidered' wirelessing an American veS- sel for assistance. Instead he had painted on the deck white dead lines" beyond which the radicals were warned not to advance on peril of death. These lines were guarded by sailors armed with. revolvers and ordered to shoot if their commands were disobeyed. Fi- nally Neptune came to the captain 5 aid, d gale caused great pillows in the ocean. and seasickness quelled the fires of revolution.
 The radicals, collected from various parts of the United States, sailed on February 1, under Mir. Skeffington's charge, for Danzig. The Esthonia had not proceeded far, MT. Skeffington said, when the woman, whom he described as "a yeritable tigress," assumed lead ershIp of the undesirables and de- manded better quarters than the third SAe~sS dCCom1DOQdIlOHS alIOLted Ln6in Our distinguished people are leaving your rotten country, and we deserve f1rst-class accon m odations," she told the captain, who told her no other ac- commodations were available There upon, she went among 400 Russians, who were on the steamer, returning to their homes and speedily won them to her side.
 The radicals and their sympathizers formed committees and waited upon the captain, who, in order to placate them as much as possible, allotted them l6 staterooms in the second cabin. The woman was not satisfied, how ever, MT. Skeffington said, and gath cred IT faithful followers about her Eroclaiming themselves anarchists.
 The captain informed them that the ship flew the Danish flag and that his crew of 200 would take measures to resist any instruction. Then the "dead lines" were drawn.
 After the gale, no more trouble was experienced. The feminine leader at one time, however, demanded of the captain that he send a wireless mes sage to the soviet representative in New York, but the captain refused Arriving at Danzig the reds proposed to send a greeting to the soviet gov- ernment of Russia, but the woman ob- jected. saying she was against all gov. ernments.

1927 Offers Unparalleled
 Opportunities fo Advertisers
By St. Elmo MassenRale, President, MaaeengaIe Adxertisins Agency

Nineteen hundred and twenty-one of fers unparalleled opportunities to manu lecturers and merchants who realize that big business awaits. the men who go after it.
 The spielers and spellbinders on the midway may have had "a big killing" in the past few years, but their day is l over, 1921 requires intensive efforts, in- telligently directed and real statesmen 1 instead of order takers.
 Those concerns who in the past have made money in spite of themselves will find 1921 a hard year; but those firms who know J:ier production costs, are selling something that is really worth while, and go after their markets in ths right way, will not only do good busi- ness, but they will do q bigger business than they have done in the past, for they will absorb the business that has formerly been done by concerns that soi1 goods only because they were selling tEem in a sellers and not buyers mar ket
 Intensive sales efforts is impossible without advertising. Advertising create2 the demand which allows the statesmen to close sales with less effort, to make greater number of sales, and to sell
 
 Using is more than made up by a les sened sales cost
 Life is too short, and time, too fleeting to demand of salesmen the work which advertising will enable them to accom- plish in the shortest possible time.
 Show me the merchant, or manufac- turer, who does not advertise and I will show you merchant or manufactures, whose statesmen are accomplishing min- mum results with a. maximum effort.
 With the splendid newspapers of to- day blanketing the country as they do, 1t is unnecessary for prospective ad- vertiser to wait until he has national dis tribution in order to advertise. By the use of newspaper space an advertiser can cover one locality at a time, until national distribution is accomplished.
 There is no guess about newspaper ad- vertising. If man has Legitimate service, or commodity, to sell at legit. mate price, newspaper advertising will sell it for him. As proof of this, witness the millions of dollars expended in news paper advertising every year by the de- partment stores that have to move their stocks with clock-like regularity.
 A manufacturer or merchant may be ising. but to accomplish big results re- quires a1vertising's building power Nineteen Hundred and twenty-one will be q good year for business builders, but a bad year for those who arc content to rest on their oars and drift with the current.
