PRIVATE TRADE
LOSING GROUND
IN The u. S. S. R.
Turnover of Coops Is
Gaining Rapidly

MOSCOW, (By Mail) .-Prelimin-
airy statistics regarding the develop
ment of the trade turnover in 1926-27
showed that the role of private CAPT
tai is dwindling and that the social
lied sector of trade and commerce is
progressing.
In 1926-27 there was an 1879 per
cent decrease in the number of pri-
vate commercial enterprises in the
RSFSR compared with the second
half of 1925-26.
AS the number of private enter
prises decreases, turnover also de-
creases. There was a 9.9 per cent
decrease in the turnover of private
capital in 1926. According to the
turnover control figures for 1926-27
private turnover was to increase by
1856 million roubles. But in reality
according to the preliminary figures
of the peoples trade commissariat in
the U.S.S.R.-the turnover of private
capital decreased by $40 million rou-
bles. Wholesale trade shows the
the greatest decrease in the proper
tional weight of private trade; it
decreased from 10 per cent in 1926
26 to 4.8 per cent in 1926-27, and the
sum total of the turnover decreased
by II per cent.
Parallel with this considerable re-
duction of private trade is the growth
of cooperative trade. Here too the
expectations of the control figures
have been exceeded. The network of
cooperatives has grown and so has
the turnover from 10157 900
roubles in 1925-26 to 14,255,000 rou-
bles in 1926-27.
Generally speaking, private capital
in retreating all along the line.

Knitted together through trans

the British Institution of Electrical
Engineers in London.
The demonstration marked the de-
velopment of the transatlantic cir
cult for the first time as a means of
communication between large audi
ences, normally assembled without in
dividual telephone equipment.
The meeting opened at 1925 a. m.
and lasted for 90 minutes. In New
York, all overflow gathering Of 1000
people listened in one auditorium
while another 1000 persons tuned in
upstairs. In London, more than 1000
persons were gathered.
Three large amplifiers in the hall
brought the voices from overseas to
the ears of the listeners. The tones
were so clear that listeners could
scarcely tell whether it was London
or a speaker on the New York plat
form talking.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 16.-With
fifteen of it's nearly 800 Filipino
Storage passengers i'll with pneu-
monia and one suffering from small
pox, the liner President Cleveland
will dock at Honolulu late this after
noon. This is twelve hours in adj
vance of its regular schedule.

Annually at this time of the year,
it was stated, a large number of
Filipino workers are transported to
Hawaii and ''flu" and pneumonia is
often prevalent due to crowding in
the storage On this trip the
President Cleveland encountered UNI
usually cold weather around Shang
hal which added to toll claimed by
pneumonia.
The Dollar Company announced
that the illness aboard the ship was
confined to the steerage and that it
was not expected that the one case of

Win Court
Contest Over Control
OF Retirement Fund

The election of Sidney Crane,
Bronx lawyer, as secretary OF the
Teachers Retirement Board is de-
clared invalid by decision handed
down by the Court of Appeals.
Crane was elected without the con-
sent of any one of the three teachers
serving on the job According to the
bylaws, the teachers declared, no de-
cision can be arrived at without the
vote of at least one teacher. After
the election was declared illegal by
the Supreme Court, the decision was
reversed in the Appellate Division,
only to be reversed once more Tues
day in the latest court action.
To the teachers it was fight for
control over their retirement fund
Since the details of the administra-
ton of pensions is left to the dis
erection of the board to great extent,
officials have used control over this
fund as whip over certain teachers.

Egyptian cotton, which, since the

ported to the L. S. S. r. consign-
ments of cotton purchased from the
Egyptian government to total

HEAD OF MOSCOW
AMTORG ARRIVES
Will Study u. S. Market
for USSR Goods

The Amtorg Trading Corporation,
165 Broadway, announces that j. A.
Poliakov, director of the Moscow
branch of the Amtorg Trading Cor
poration, has arrived in this country
for stay of a few months. During
this time Mr.. Pehakov will study the
American market from the point of
view of Soviet exporters and will also
devote his attention to American in
dustrial and agricultural equipment
to be imported into the Soviet Union
Mr.. Poliakov stated yesterday at
the offices of the Amtorg:
USSR Trade Grows.
"Soviet industrial and commercial
circles are greatly interested in the
DEVELOPMENT of trade between this
country and the Soviet Union. They
note with qualification that the Sow
iet-American trade reached during the
calendar year 1927 the total Of $780,
100000, or more than double the fig
ure for 1913 It is pointed out that
the general Soviet foreign trade has
reached only about So per cent of the
1918 volume. During the past year
the United States was the only coun-
try to increase its exports to the Sow
let Union. The Soviet authorities
have informed me in Moscow that
provided the terms obtainable in this
country are favorable, they look for
ward to a still larger turnover be-
tween the Soviet Union and the
United States during the current
year.
Build Factories.
Hundreds of new factories, mines
and power houses are under construc-
ton in the Soviet republics. Many
of these require American equipment.
The interest of Soviet industrial or
CARNATIONS in American manufac-
lures is evident from the fact that
more than one hundred Soviet exeeu-
tives and technicians were sent to
this country during the past year to
make studies of American industries
and to place orders for equipment. 1t
is believed, also, that the United
States will continue to be one of the
principal suppliers of raw materials,
especially cotton and metals"
Mr.. Poliakov was met by Saul G.
Bron, chairman of the board of direc-
tors Of the Amtorg. Mr.. Bron con-
Cured with Mr.. Poliakov's statement
as to the favorable prospects for a
large increase in the business of the
Amtorg. He emphasized that in 1927
the Amtorg placed orders amounting
to four times the total for 1926.
