HELSrNGFORS, March % (By The
Associated Pressl.-Regardless of the
rsbuif administered by the State De-
vartment at Washington in its recent
csmmunication on the subject, the Rus
sian Soviet government will probably
continue its efforts for trade with
America, Jaan Antonovitch Behrsin
Soyiet Minister to Finland. told The
Associated Press to-day.
@Other efforts undoubtedly will be
made" said NJ. Behrsin, most likely
through American business concerns
to which we are ready to grant con-

point toward us.
~But one thing is certain he added.
despite all newspaper reports to the
contrary, Russia will not give up com
munism and revert to the principle Of
priyate property.
Regime To Be Capitalistic
an brief, our situation is this: We
have now for the first time peace with
ocr neighbors and have things we'll in
hand at home. Our government is will
ing to become capltalistic concern
itself in order TO maintain communism
within its borders. As a government
it will deal with foreign concerns.

but the results of these deals in pro-
duce necessary for our people will con-
tinue to be distributed communistically
by our government.
'The peasants now have and for
some time have had a more cr less free
opportunity to trade through the CO.
operatives, the communes, ETC., but as
for reopening the middlemen's busi-
ness and the shops of individual prof.
taers, that is impossible. as we will not
surrender the main principle of COM
munisn.
Last year we were able to supply
the people Of Russia with about 10 per
cent Of the necessities of life through
eommunistic distribution. We must
furnish the other 80 per cent too, and
foreign trade will permit US TO do this
when our transport is reorganized. The
machinery is available and we have a
certain amount of gold for purchases
Tor immediate needs, but we must rely
upon concessions and new Developments
ior the future"
Raw Materials Ready
Behrsin said that Soviet Russia
had q certain amount of raw products,
including wood, ready to offer to Amer
Ica now, but that the principle in view
in the trade offer was future conces-
sors in Siberia and elsewhere, the
liniSter pointing out that vast terri
tory in the Russian domain was still

Conditions in the interior are. far
rom satisfactory" he added, sbut they
are better than at any time since the
sevolution. For the moment all is quiet
save for few spasmodic events along
the Trans-Siberian Line which already
has been liquidated, with the result
that there is a free road for traffic

so it is interpreted here-has deliphted
the Irish, but surprised the English,
particularly as President Wilson had
said nothing. All the newspapers

lent people across the water. but the

In other quarters President Har-

1ui gilt to Ireland inspire sharp re-
ference with domestic question.
