RUssIA UNABLE TO EXPORT.

American trade with Russia is far
more a political question than an

NheFce said today in statement
There can be no real return to pro-
ducffon in Russia under the soviet
economic system. no matter how
much they moderate il in name and
therefore Russia will have no con-
siderable commodities to export and
consequently NO great ability to OBJ

tons OF dax per annum and herself

whole question from a trade point of
view develops into furnishing COM

After that has been expended there

Trade IS open through the Baltic
states. and Italy has been trading in

been the failure of the Russians to

platinum to trade with.
There has been but little trade
for gold because its title has been
