RUSSIA IS ASKED
To ADMIT AGENTS
Of UNITED STATES
Government Proposes Study of
Economic Problems in
Soviet Land.
By ROBERT J. BENDER

United NeWs staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-In the
fact Of a threatened economic crash
in Europe, the United States Govern
ment has made an initial o to
strike at what it believes to be the
root Of the diff1culty-chaos in Russia.
Failures, registered by the allied
powers at Genoa and The Hague, to
effect a sound basis Of aid to Russia,
dut, it is held here, to the fact that
political considerations were per
mitted to dominate discussion Of a
strictly economic problem. have led
this Government to make a separate
move to the end desired.
Findings Go to Harding
United States Ambassador Hough-
ton at Berlin, upon instructions from
the State Department, has asked the
soviet government whether 1t would
welcome an American commission OF
experts, dispatched to study purely
economic conditions in Russia and
report both findings and recommended
| tons to President Harding.
The prime object Of this commits
sion would be to investigate thu
causes Of non-productivity in RussiS
and would include experts in agricul-
ture, transportation and similar eco
nomic lines contributing to normal
productivity.
Both privately and in official com
nunications to the allied powers
American officials have stressed these
points:
To Restore Productivity
THAT there can be no peace in
| Europe or a general moral and physi-
cal disarmament until the problem Of
Russia is solved.
2.-That the Russian problem Is es-
sentially economic in that there can
be no solution until productivity is
restored.
3. That before the world can aid
Russia, restoring productivity. a thor
ough study by established experts as
to the causes Of the present non
productivity must be made.
4. This done, practical methods
might be applied to assist Russia IN
restoring production, could be evolved.
Possibilities in the situation are
manifold-but in feeling its way in
the intricate problem. the American
Government will scrupulously avoid
anything In the nature Of economic
agreements and will in no way dis
cuss political questions.
