Little Chance Of US. Trade
 With Russians
BY H. N. HICKEY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The chances are very much against q fav- orable report by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the resolu- tion by Senator France calling for the resumption of trade between the United States and Soviet Russia.
 The committee is now hearing tes- timony. Much of this testimony is by labor leaders who favor the France proposal on the ground that the goods which Soviet Russia Is prepar- ed to purchase in this country would go a ieng way toward solving the problem of unemployment.
 The theory is that the soviet gov ernment would pay for these goods with the gold that it took over rom the cEarist government
 The amount of gold now in the hands of the soviet government IS es- timated at about 250.00O,0O0.
 It is evident from the questions which have been asked of witnesses bv several of the Republican mem bers of the committee that they sus pect that the agitation for openins m trade with Russia is consciously oY unconsciously, the result of Sovie' propaganda in this country, the uiti mate object of which is to brins | about recognition of the soviets.
 Even if the Foreign Relations Com mittee should report favorahly It Il doubtful whether a majority of th' senate. itself, would fasor action a this session for the reason that tn' resumption of trade relations wi,,
