RUSSIA NOT A PANACEA
FOR WORLDS TRADE
Revival Rests on Economic
Stability, Says r. p. Skinner.

LONDON, Jan. 24.--speaking before che
American Chamber of Commerce to-day.
Robert p. Skinner. tho Consul-General,
said there were many indications OF a
revival in the worlds trade. This re-
vival he declared, would be the result
of the growing trade on large scale
between Great Britain. the United
States and other countries enjoying q
fair degree of economic stability rather
than from trade relations with such
countries as Russia, II statistics were
taken into consideration.
Mr.. Skinner emphasized that every
business would rejoice at Russia's re-
turn to the worlds trading family. but
he said trade revival depended upon the
countries which were able to buy and
sell. He presented statistics OF the nor
NAL pre-war year of 1912. showing that
the total value of British exports to
Russia was f21,0o0,00o, or three and
one-half per cent. of Great Britain's to-
tai exports of that year. while during
the same period the value Of total ex-
ports to America totaled f64,000,0O0
Therefore, he declared. It was evident
that IL Russia were entirely open to the
worlds traders she would not be a pa
nacea for the whole of the worlds eco-
nomic unrest.

Germany and Russia would vastly In
crease this total of sales. The increase
might run well over $4,000. 100000 a
year. it Is estimated.
Unemployment, still widespread
throughout the country. might quickly
be wiped out by an increase in foreign
orders. An increase of 5 per cent.
would give steady employment to nearly
100000 workers, it is estimated. Mills
and factories now idle would be able to
resume operations, hundreds Of Ameri-
can ships could be put into commission
instead Of being forced to remain tied
to docks and wharves in tie Atlatnic
ports, where they are earning nothing

The possibilities OF gain to the busi-

gram by the Genoa conference are un-
limited. as officials view the situation.
Europe. just now. is buying little in
comparison to her potential purchasing
power. Although the American trade
with most European countries is far in
excess of the pre-war values it is moth

to work is the main aim of the con-
ference
France, it is emphasized, has an in
dustrial population but 75 per cent. en-
rloyed at productive labor. Germany,
although internally prosperous. is at a
disadvantage in world commerce be-
cause Of the depreciation of her mark.
Russia Is vast reservoir Of economic
idleness so far as real productive effort
is concerned, but endowed with all the
factors of production which the Bolshe-
vik policies have forced into rusty dis
use. Italy is in the throes Of financial
instability much like the period from
which the United States now nearly
has freed iherself. Italy needs deflatior

CoppT So, 1929, By THE NEW YORK HERALD

Paris, Jan. "a.
Premier Poincare intends to direct
personally the compilation and publica-
ton of a new yellow Book which will
show that France did not start the world
war. Last year he wrote a series CT
articles wherein his own negotiations in
Petrograd just before the outbreak OF
the war were fully detailed. The Com
munists refused to accept his record as
authentic. AS he was unable to obtain
the necessary records while he was only
p Senator, NJ. Poincare waited until his
return to power as Premier to prove his
own non-complicity in starting the war.
His first act at the Quai dOrsay is
said to have been to ask for the official
records, and it is expected that the
French statement will be the fullest yet

CHINESE PREMIER GETS
ENFORCED VACATION
Resignation Likely, as Gen.
WI Pei-pu Seeks Control.

President Hsu-Shih- -Chiang to-day an
ounced that he had granted a leave of
absence to Premier Liang Shih-Yi and
appointed DR.. w. W. Yen. the Foreign
Minister, as Acting Premier.
The belief is generally expressed that
the President will be obliged to accept
The resignation of Liang Shih-Yi at the
end of the Chinese year, on account OF
the pressure Of Gen. Wu Pei-Fu. Inspec-
tor General fthe provinces Of Human
and Hupeh. The aim Of Gen. Wu Peo-
Flu is believed to be control Of politics
and even an attempt to solve the ques-
ton Of unification. (China is now d.
vided between the Pekin and Canton
governments.)
A nationwide movement to raise funds
to purchase the Shantung Railway sas
begun. The leaders of the movement in
Pekin have presented to the Presidential

country is allied behind Poincare in
the idea that constraint is necessary.
Are we to abandon the experiment
before it is really commenced?" asks
NJ. Bailby. During the war in the
trying hours we have given our shout
der TO England, which seemed bending.
Tomorrow il is quite possible that
she will realize that we are again
right"
But the French General Staff, as well
as every French diplomat, knows that
the United States for months has Deen
pointing out unofficially that there are
TOO many horizon blue troops along the
Rhine and that it would be better 10
call these off and apply the resulting
Increase in receipts from Germany TO
reparations rather than to the mainte-
nance of Frances standing army.
Gen. Allen Suggested Changes.
At one meeting of the Supreme Coun-
Gil in Paris it is known that Major-Gen.
Henry T. Allen, commander Of the
American forces of occupation, stressed
this point both to Premier Lloyd George
and the then Premier BRAND and also
pointed out other conditions which pre-
vented Germany from ever meeting the
uplxeep bills presented to her with
strictest regularity-such incidents, for
instance as crediting the German Gov
ernment for the passes used by French
officers and their families when travel
ing on German railroads at a rate barely
sufficient TO cover the cost of printing
the ticket itself. Mr.. Lloyd George then
declared that such conditions must
cease, but the French have not made
any effort to change the method.
The French Government on the other
hand considers England's boast that she
has reduced her own alnd forces as un-
justified as England's security on land
is being maintained by strong France.
while her invulnerability or the sea has
not been lesened by the Washington
conference accords.
With such a muddle of contradictions
being banded about in private talks be-
tween pienipotentiaries instead of being
presented at an open general conference
such as is afforded by the Supreme
Council, it is foreseen that the difficulties
of obtaining an agreement will increase
greatly and unless something definite
comes from the United States which will
either reduce the French opposition or
force her acceptance by manifesting an
intention to share in the Genoa decisions,
Frances official participation may be a
question of doubt until the very last
moment.
That this is contrary to the wishes OF
the most important financial circles is
shown by the CGblo0rdnln,e, which
points out that it would be unwise for
France not to be present to protect her
interests by not allowing another ma
ton to gain control of the Russian rail-
way system, which before the war was

RUSSIA HAS PLANS
FOR GERMAN TRADE
Would Alter Statutes, Restore
Property and End Com
merce Monopoly.
DANGER SEEN IN GENOA
Soviet Agent Is Expected to
Have ThanklesS Task
at Farley.

Special Gable to THE New YoRK HERALD.
COPYRIGHT, 1899. by THE NEW YORK HrxALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Berlin. Jan. "a.
M. Krestinslsi. Russian Soviet repre-
sentative in Berlin, who has just re-
turned here from Moscow, brought with
him the details Of new guarantees which
Russia offers to Germany to expedite the
resumption of business relations between
the two countries. These he reported to
Chancellor Wirth, who in turn impaired
Ct the Reichstag.
The proposals include the promise OF
the Soviet Government to introduce a
new legal code in Russia to replace the
present Bolshevist statutes restoration OF
property to former owners in certain
classes of cases and. finally, abo''t'on
before the end of June of the y, ict
monopoly of Russia's foreign TRACE.
1t Is understood Germany has been re-
quested to extend the scope of the eX-
listing trade treaty with Russia and to
enter into full diplomatic relations with
the Moscow Government.
Lenine will not attend the Genoa con-
ference, the reason ascribed being that
he fears the extreme radical opposition
would be used against him In his alb
scnce in a drive to obtain power. An
other and simpler reason also believed
in Berlin to be responsible for his deci-
sion is the fear of assassination. But
the real reason is believed to be the OPP
position OF the Communist leaders at
home.
It is not assumed here that all VIII be
plain sailing for the Soviets at Genoa. II a
real plan Of reconstruction for Russia
Is proposed It Is assumed that the condi-
tions will be so severe as to make their
acceptance a dangerous undertaking for
the Soviet Government even with things
as they are in Russia. Yet II the Rus
slams should decline they would be ac-
cused Of setting theories ahead OF the
country's welfare.
Lenine Is without active opposition. as
the Soviet regime now manages things.
But the left wing is still there on one ex-
trene and the non-political workers on
the other, and one of the two will gain
in power as the result of the Genoa con-
ference.
The new economic policy Is true
enough retreat from Communism. but
the Russian Communist party is still the
workingman's organization and prImar-
ily fighting unit, which has not yet
learned. as have other labor podles
abroad, to compromise quickly. So Who
ever represents the Soviet Government
at Genoa is expected to have thank
less task, which probably explains IN
mart why Ienine himself until now has
been disinclined to go.
But it is of the utmost Importance 70
have some one at home to defend the
Bolshevist delegates at Genoa, and
I,enine will be far stronger in Moscow
than he would be at distant CONFER
ence.

Premier Theunys said Belgium was
always ready to consider arrangements
enabling Germany TO pay. particularly
IL the other Allies would make conces-

principle Of Belgian priority. which the
Allies should support since the first
payments due her were hypothecated
