Need Russian Trade

The British worker and the capital
list both need trade with Russia. The
Soviet government having secured
recognition from Britain, Italy, Ger
many and possibly Czecho Slovakia
will not think it worth their while
burdening Russia with the full Genoa
terms in order to purchase recognition
from France and Belgium. The United
States Of America will come in on its
own terms and only in its own good
time. The American Government Is
hardly likely to take upon itself the
worries of French and Belgian diplo-
macy so that, in the end, French and
Belgian investors will suffer for the
working of the policy played by the
Poincare government during the eff
forts made at Genoa to restore peace
in Europe.

Complete Accord

On the main condition of recogni-
ton there was, at that date, complete
accord between the powers negotiating
with Russia. Belgium, having in
vested heavily in Russian enterprises,
concentrated her thoughts and en-
deavors on the clause which dealt with
conf1scated property.
France imperatively demanded that
Russia could not prove her fitness to
enter the comfy of civilized nations
unless she not only recognized her
debts, but made immediate arrange
ments of a negotiable character for
Iquidating these liabilities, with re-
coverable interest. To French states
men, payment of the obligations in

war and civil dissension and to the

The net result has been that the
Belgian investors have not had their
property restored or received compen=

that property is deteriorating and
chances of compensation ara becon-

investor has received nothing in re-

failure for the sake Of insuring the
restoration of Belgian properties or
the repayment Of French loans. Her
people need Russian wheat-that is

sian government is sincerely DESTROYS
OF establishing good relations with
Britain. Russia needs credit on a
large scale.
Suffering Great
No country in the world has suffered
so much from the war and the up
heaval that followed the wa, ard res
toration and reconstruction are MAX
ing slow progress.
The Russian delegates at Genoa
placed their immediate requirements
in the way OF foreign credits at AGO.
900, 900 pounds. That figure is modest
when one thinks of Russian de-
flciencies in railways, in machinery
for factories, collieries and oil wells,
and especially for agriculture.
Great Future
It will cost Russia much moro to
purchase from outside sources the
necessary equipment for repairing the
damage wrought by the conflicts Of
the last ten years. And when res
storation is complete, there will still
remain the infinite undeveloped
possibilities OF that vast territory
that will make a demand on the
financial and manufacturing resources
IL the outside world without parallel
since America was opened up in the
nineteenth century.
Russia's future will depend entirely
on the confidence her rulers will
succeed in creating in the money mar
kets of Europe and America.
Need Help
The first fact driven into their
minds, by the famine and failure of
the last few years, is that their coun-
try depends for it's restoration on the
help of people who detest their doc
trines. They know that it IS essential
20 their success as a Government that
they should win the confidence OF the
moneyed classes in other lands.
Although there are many capable
men at the head of affairs in Russia
today, there is no one who possesses
the gifts and influence Of Lenin. The
world is apt to write him down as a
monster. 1t is too early yet to esti-
mate fairly his real qualities. In the
past. monsters have been makers of
Russia.
