On the eve of major military en-

Delegation Seeks Trade

LONDON, England, March 21.-
The first step in an attempt on the
part of Great Britain to resume re-
lations with the Soviet Union will
be made within the next few days
when a delegation representing all
types of British industries sails for
the U. S. S. r.
The delegation will contain be-
tween SO and so delegates from
British enterprises and while in the
Soviet Union will make a survey of
trade conditions and hold interviews
with leading members of the Soviet
government.
U. S. S. r. Confers.
The Soviet government has indi-
Gated its willingness to cooperate in
every way with the British delega-
ton and has requested information
as to the industries which would
probably be represented. Soviet of
ficials, responsible for similar in
dustries in the U S. S. R., will be
in Moscow to confer with the Bri-
tish.
Well-informed British circles be-
lieve that the delegations report will
lead to substantial participation in
Soviet foreign trade.
The decision to send delegation
to the Soviet Union was reached on
February 5 at meeting of manu-
facturers interested in the Soviet
market. Industries with capital of
$500,000,000 were represented.
Widespread interest in the pro-
posed trip was manifested in Eng
land and numerous requests were re-
ceived to be allowed to participate.
So great was the interest that in
several cases certain industries had
to be asked to nominate one or two
members to represent the group. II
is desired to keep the delegation be-
low 60 so that it will not be un-
wieldy.
