CONFIRMATIO LACKING

Washington, March 22.-Official con flrmation was lacking here tonight of information contained in Moscow wire less advices received In London an- nouncirg that the Russian soviet gov ernment had appealed to Presf1 en Harding to resume trade relations with Russia.
 Responsible officials refrained from discussing the situation specifically to- cay and the most definite indication Of the administrators attitude on the question remained in the statement of Secretary of Commerce Hoover yeste-- day. denominating resumption of trade with Russia as essentially a political instead of an economic question and advancing the belief that any consid- erable trade with Russia at this time was physically impossible
 The possibility of resuming trade re lations with the soviet government was not the subject of public comment ia White House circles today and at the state department any outward signs of a possible change in policy toward the Russian government were lacking, aI- though. one responsible official int.- mated that the recent signing of the Great Britain-soyfet trade agreement and the conclusion of formal peace be- tween Poland and soviet Russia neces- sarily were developments which should be taken into consideration. in con sidering the Russian situation in the future
 Officials professed to know nothing of the possibility of delegation com Ing here from the soviet governme mt to negotiate a trade agreement.

crosswise thread, carried back and
forth across the lengthwise threads.
forth it passes around the outer warp,
thus forming the selvedge on each side
of the cloth.
There are three fundamental classes
OF weave. plain or tabby, twill and
satin. Plain weave is made by passing
the filling over each alternate warp
thread. Twill weave gives a diagonal
on the right side. In simple twill, the
woof passes under two warp threads,
over one, and under two, each time
passing over one warp in advance of
where 1T passed the time before thus
making diagonal line through the
cloth. Satin weave is made by passing
the filling over from four to ten or
twlve warp threads, and under one
over number and under one, and so
on. The woof does not advance regu-
larly as in the twill. but gives the
smooth surface of satin. and does not
show definite line. If satin weave
