Foreign Plants Will Be Inspected for New Ideas-New Industrial
 Equipment Ordered

MOSCOW, Nov. 19 (P)-A commits sion, representing the principal gov ernments and manufacturing trusts is preparing. to start for Germany, France, England, 4 America and Canada to place orders for machinery and other machinery needed to place Rus sia once more upon an industrial ba- sis. The commission, one of the largest ever sent abroad by any coun- try, will have between 15O and 200 members.
 The actual date of departure de pends upon the celerity with which visas are authorized by the govern ments of the countries which the com mission hopes to visit. In view of the American state departments refusal to grant permission to the Russian scientist, Abraham Joffe, to visit the United States, fears are expressed here that the commission will be al 1 lowed to visit America.
 Instead of purchasing machinery from specifications already drawn up, the commission will inspect foreign plants in operation to secure ideas l of the latest methods of manufactur- ing.
 Various inquiries are reported. The principal government manufacturing trusts sending high officials will be the metallurgical, oil, rubber, steel, cotton, food, sugar., woolen, coal, cleo trical and poligraphic.
 "The commission is extremely anx- ious to visit the United States" said one member of the commission, mot only for the purpose of discussing the possibilities of the purchase of equip ment but to secure new ideas from personal study of manufacturing plants. Russia is now in a position where practically all industrial estab lishments are worn out and must re. equip entirely. The government is now starting this stupendous task.
 With new machinery of the latest types we want to remodel old plants and erect new ones embodying the latest methods of manufacture What ever country's methods and machin cry are adapted will continue to be in use in Russia many years.
 we realize the reluctance of the American manufacturer to extend credit to us. However, certain amount of credit now means installa tion of that manufacturers machin cry and continued orders in the flu ture."

At the request of the Navy De

ing the possibilities OF short wave
traffic manager of the American
Radio Relay League. has been given
leave of absence so that he may ac-
company the Pacific fleet during its
forthcoming maneuvers. He will be
on active duty from the middle Of
April until about October 1 With
the rank Of lieutenant.
The short wave transmitter which
Schnell is to install and operate for
the period Of the cruise will be used
for communication with amateur
members of the A.. r r. L. in the
United States and foreign countries,
the object being to compare TIE
efficiency Of the short wave low
power outfit with the regulation
Navy sets.
This formal investigation by the
Navy Department through civil
ian radio organization Of. national
scope is regarded as significant sp-
probation of the amateur develop
ment Of short waves. The Navy
thoroughly appreciates the eccnom-
zeal advantages of the amateur short
wave transmitter, and it now pur-
poses to determine how its. range
and capabilities compare with high
power sets.
The amateur radio transmitting
stations In common use are pro-
hibited from operating with more
than one kilowatt OF power while
the Navy sets employed on ship
board sometimes go as high as 30
kilowatts. There is also a tremen-
dous difference in the initial in
stallation costs, the high power sta
tons amounting to several thou
sands of dollars, as compared with
the few hundred required for set
ting up the average apateur sta
ton.
The short wave transmitter de-
signed for use during the cruise, ac-
cording to Schnell, has been given
the call NRRL, to identify it as the
special Navy station for communi-
eating with the amateur of the
American Radio Relay League.
While this set. will operate on a
wave length of 81 or. SIS meters,
Schnell will take with him two per-
sonal transmitters for use on 20 and
40 meters.
For a long time the Navy depart
ment and the A. r.. r. L. have been
associated to certain extent In an
tnve~tigation of the short wave radio
transmission. This was pronounced
particularly during the transconti-
mental fight of the airship Shenan-
doah, on which was installed a spe-
cial set for communication with anna

tours. The result of this test was
of such Importance that Navy ON
Gals commented upon 1t favorably
and thanked cooperating amateurs.
The tremendous range covered by
amateur transmitters with their one
kilowatt Of power has SO impressed
the Navy Department that a thor
ough study of their operations un-
der all kinds OF atmospheric condi.
lions appeared to be worth while.
The fact that Schnel1 has had both
Navy and amateur experience doubt
less had considerable influence In
his selection.
During the World War Schnell
was connected for a time with the
transatlantic control office OF the
director OF naval communications at
Washington, d. c. He was also
radio operator in charge on the s.
S. George Washington, when 1t car
ried President Wilson to France. He
entered the Navy in May. 1917, and
was stationed at Great Lakes until
October of that year. While in
Washington he copied the peace ac-
ceptance message from Germany
and acknowledged its receipt.
He organized the transatlantic
tests conducted by the A. r. r. l..
as we'll as amateur long range tests
between operators in this country
and those in Australasia and South
America. He is credited with hav-
ing achieved the first successful two
way amateur communication with
Europe.
