TRADE: or RUSSIA
,Rumors That Govern
ment Will Recognize

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27-Increas-
ing pressure from many directions
says Hearst's international News
Service, is being brought to bear on
the Coolidge administration to have
the United States recognize the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics. The
campaign, which is now on in full
swing, is being sponsored in business
Icircles.
Administration officials are being
deluged with letters, most of which
ask for an early settlement of the
Russian problem"
The letters are being supplemented
by personal calls at the White House
and state department, officials of the
latter department having in the last
several weeks received more than a
hundred visitors who have aired their
views on the Soviet question.
Reverse Old Policy.
Meanwhile, administration officials
refuse to comment, although from re-
liable sources it is reported that the
governments Russian policy is in the
process of being overhauled. The ad-
ministration has taken cognizance of
the change in financial and CONNER
cial opinion and is shaping its course
accordingly.
Some proponents of recognition
have pointed to the increase in Rus
sian American trade as an argument
in their favor, contending that with
this commerce would grow
even faster. For the fiscal year end
ed Sept. 80, they point out, the Rus
sian trade amounted $90,000,000, a
100 per cent increase over the average
pre-war figure of $48,000,000.

Right Wing Agrarian
Party Moves Against
Mexican Labor Party

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 27.-The
National Agrarian Party announ-
ces the launching of candidates in
the Mexico City elections. The
Agrarian candidates are considered
official Obregon candidates. This
move is made to weaken the can
didates of the Mexican Labor
Party, under the control of Nor
ones and is interpreted as widen
ing the breach between Obregon
and Morones, that is, between OBJ
regon and the leadership of the
Mexican Federation of Labor and
of the Mexican Labor Party.
The Agrarian Party has for
many years been under the leader
ship of Soto y Cana, who has been
steadily going to the right. He
tried to move the mass of his ma
tional party in the same direction
but the majority refused to follow.
When the last revolt broke out
under Gomez and Serrano the Ma
tional Agrarian Party forced it's
leadership to vote unconditional
support of the Gales government.
In several localities the National
Agrarian Party locals formed
united fronts with the National
Peasants Leagues, lie, poorer
peasants with revolutionary inclin-
ations) to fight against the coun-
ter-revolutionary bands. A move
is now on foot to form united
front between the National Peas
ants Leagues and the National
Agrarian Party. This is being
fought by the leadership of the
National Agrarian Party, who fear
the influence of the more militant
peasants and especially Of the
Mexican Communist Party.

have refused to accept the dollar and

are being used. Families are being
