Of financing her trade will require
something more than a mere

Never Good Comrades
DR.. Klein. on the other hand, is
convinced that Germany and Rus

"The German is loud in his
protestations that he, better than
anyone else, knows Russia" Klein
says. at isn't so. The average
Russian has much nearer the
point Of view OF America than OF
Germany. He likes Americans
better than Germans.
And, on the other hand, Amer

of Russia and can more clearly
meet her demands. We never will
let Germany act as a feeder OF
American products into Russia.
When American products go into
Russia they are going to be sold

on their own feet as American

effectively the economic resources
OF the two countries.
Allen Goldsmith, departmental
expert on German and Russian

that this trade is not likely to

zone proposal which may mako
possible some considerable en-
