SOVIET RUSSIA To
LIFT BAN ON TRADE
Admits Persecution of Pri-
vate Capital Nearly
Brought Ruin

Moscow. -Far-reaching decisions af-
fecting the future economic policy of
Russia were taken by the council of
labor and defense. Finding complete
government control of trade and in
duStry was a failure, the council meet
ing, of which Leo Kameneff, acting
premier, was chairman, decided TO in
vite private capitalists to enter trade.
Present restrictions regarding the
sale of goods to private concerns by
state trusts and cooperative organiza-
lions will be removed and taxes on
private traders greatly reduced. In
introducing these reforms, which are
considered the most important since
the late Premier Nikclai Lenin inau-
gurated the sO-called new economic
policy, NJ. Kameneff said:
"At the present juncture the trade
desert which exists in certain regions
OF the Soviet union is more harmful
and dangerous to the economic struc-
ture of the socialistic state than pri-
vate capitalists"
Near Economic Crisis.
1t was on the initiative Of the SUI
preme economic council that the new
reforms are being introduced. 1t is
admitted now that the drastic cam
paign which was waged against pri-
vate trad virtually ruined Russia
internal trade, bringing the country
to the verge of economic crisis. NJ.
Dzerjinsky, head of the supreme eco
nomic council, was more outspoken in
condemnation of the present attitude
toward private trade than was Kane
neff.
THE great aims before the govern
ment said NJ. Dzerjinsky, force us
to admit that our previous economic
policy was a mistaken one. Our source
of strength is in the very fact that we
are not afraid to admit our defects"

COTTON MAGNATES
HEAR PRESIDENT
Coolidge Sees No Cause to
Worry Over Textile
Trade.

Washington.-If the dozens of cot
ton-spinning magnates who listened to
President Coolidge expected from him
any sunny assurances of an increased
tariff on textile imports, they were
wholly disappointed. Some such prog
nostication some of them wished to
hear
But the President told them all that
"a broad view" of the cotton indus
try suggests mo serious occasion of
concern about its outlook"
lie granted that there had been
something Of depression in certain
branches of the industry, but he
thought that American cotton spin
ners, who sold abroad last year nearly
5OO,OOO,O00 yards of goods-or nearly
70 per cent more than in pre-war years
had no call to worry about business.

Gets Expert Information.
i L.. ,,,sy,f
the seven-page paper he was reading
to the banqueters, he sent for "a thor
onghly matter-of-fact young man." as
he called him, who is an expert in
one of the government departments
dealing with textiles. And the thor
oughly matter-of-fact young man had
told him that twenty years ago it took
nearly ten yards of gingham to make
woman Il dress, whereas, so the
President was assured and does be-
Heve, "she now manages to be thor
oughly in fashion on three and a

Gives Advice on Trade Ethics.
He told the cotton spinners that he
once heard one of them say that If
women could be induced to stabilize
and standardiZe their fashions as men
have done, half the worries and I'M
certainties of the textile industries
would be eliminated at once. The
speaker continued mo doubt such a
result would be a boon to the industry,

Baked although he thus is by what
he described as "the uncertainty and
change of fashion," he found cOmpen-
sations, for he added, mo doubt it
relieves mOnotony and adds to the
spice of life"
He wound up by giving the ban
queters-among who were many of the
great cotton kings of his native New
England-sOme blunt advice on trade
ethics, saying:
You men who are responsible for
an industry ought to make unlawful

seem expensive TO change improper
practices, but they will have to be

these planes, stores of explosives and
aircraft parts, with repair shops, will
