SMALL CHANCE STABLE TRADE
 WITH SOVIETS

NEW YORK, April 22 (by Associ- ated Press) ).-Russian business men under the old regime, now scattered in other countries, are looking for ward to being called back to take part in the regeneration of Russia. This is the view stated by MT. Der line, formerly head of , the Bank of
 Petrograd and now a director of an | association of Russian business men and financiers who were pominent before the revolution. The organiza-
 tion has it's headquarters in Paris
 and MT Berline is here to advance its interests in this country.
 MT. Berline said the association
 embraced 80 per cent of Russias
 business men and financial interests, including representatives of all the important Russian banks, as we'll as captains of Russian industry and commerce.
 Among the members of the associ- ation named by MT. Berline are the Nobel brothers, who. controlled the greater part of the Russian petroleum industry, and Count A, A. Bobrinsky and l.. l. Brodsky, leaders of the
 Russian sugar industry The asso- citation is headed by N. K. Denisoy, 6 Russian financier.
 NJ. Berline said that. the associa- tion has protested to the British prime minister, MT. Lloyd George, against the trade agreement after ward made between Great Britain and the so-called Soviet government" of l Russia. In doing so, President Deni- soy informed the British premier that the power of the Bolsheyiki was wan ing before the rising wave of popu- lare indignation although it might be prolonged for brief period by terror and bloodshed. No future legi- innate Russian government will rec ognize and feel bound by any agree ment with the Bolsheviki, MT. Deni- oof tOlu lHt pF6IuleT.
 The attitude of the members of this association of Russian business men on the subject of trade with Russia was set forth by MT Berline as fol
 lows: Realizing fully that the re- establishment of the worlds economic
 equilibrium Is impossible without Russia fpnl af 10 trade with the Bolsheviki will not. in the least, hasten Russia's re-entry into world economies. On the con- trary, it would only render the word economic crisis more acute, since it
 would tend to prolong the Bolshevist
 rule in Russia, and the country would
 continue in a state of political and
 economic anarchy.
 We join all the other elements
 of the Russian people in greeting the
 splendid attitude of the government
 and of the people of the United
 States towards the Bolshevist over
 lures. There is no possibility for
 any considerable trade with Russia
 until Russia returns to normal politi.
 cal and economic conditions. In or
 der to be able to buy Russia must
 sell. If Russia's production is re-
 established, she will be able to ex- port again her foodstuffs and raw
 materials. Russia's export before the
 war amounted to over $750,000,000. It
 is only on the basis of this export
 that she will be able to import what she needs.
 "It may be said, and quite justly,
 that io order to be able to re-estab- . fish production Russia needs rolling
 stock and machinery from abroad. , This very fact makes it necessary for Russia to return as quickly as pos !: AS soon as the Bolshevist tyranny is overthrown and stable demo : cratic government appears in Rus. sia, a government that will enjoy the confidence of the population and : will have the right and the authority ]: to speak and act for the Russian :: the credit Russia needs in order. to :: start anew. Only such a government :: will have the right to grant conces :: sions, etc, and am sure, only such : government will meet the conf : dence of the business and financial
