SOV|ETS DEMAND
U. S. RECOGNITION.
Protest Against "UnnaturaP'
Situation Comes During
Senator's Visit.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 12.-The news
paper Pravda today publishes an ar
ticle signed by H. Osinsky, member of
the Supreme Economic Council, call
ing absurd the present relations of Rus
STA and the United States and demand
ing a normal diplomatic status as the
only basis upon which the trade and
financial problems of the two countries
can be solved.
The article, obviously inspired by the
government, was taken by observers to
have been timed to appear during the
visit Of United States Senators Burton
X. Wheeler Of Montana. Bronson Gut
ting of New Mexico and A. w. Barley
of Kentucky, who are touring Russia
to study her economic development.
Mere Recognition Not Desired.
The writer makes it clear that the
matter Is not one of recognition" as
from those who, during l3 years did
not find time to recognize US, we do not
need any legal sanction for our ofncial
existence. All that is needed Is an
exchange Of normal diplomacy in which
two powerful but economically and
politically different countries indicate
the necessity for their peaceful exist
ence.
"The sooner oficial circles in the
United states realize that this Is the
only true path to follow, the sooner
will come to an end the existing dis
graceful situation between both coun-
tries"
Concerning recent United States
Government activities in relation to
imports from Soviet Russia Osinsky
continues:
"The Americans complain about the
Soviet dumping goods in the United
States. This Is our internal affair and
no barons of monopoliStic capitalism
will be able to hold Russia back from
developing her domestic industry.
Outside Credits Needed.
"If we must spend scores Of millions
of dollars on equipment for our indus
tries, most of it imported from abroad,
does not this mean that we must have
credits from outside in order TO pre-
vent intensive development Of Soviet
exports?
Foreign capitalists must know by
now that realization of our hve-year
plan involves the ne
ceSsity of increasing Soviet exports un-
less the capitalists wish to come to our
aid by extending credits"
OSinsky continues that II European
credits fail, Soviet Russia then will re-
sort to q third means, development of
the production of machinery and equip
ment In our own country. We are now
sufficiently strong technically and eco
to solve this problem. though
we must admit 1t viii cost US great
ehort-much greater thar II we had
followed the previous course"
The journalist insists that 1t Is i'm
possible to continue large trade In the
United States without proper diplo-
matic relations.
Can Spoil Bourgeois Plans"
Soviet Russia Il q great power, which
the bourgeois polite ianS must consider, !"
the article goes on THE Soviet Union
could spoil any dish prepared by the
diplomats and could mix the
cards in any diplomatic game. Only
normal relations can guarantee Amer
Ican industry an increasing number Of
Sovist orders on equipment and pro-
vide American wood, paper and o.her
branches of manufacture with cheap
Soviet raw materials Of excellent
quality"
The writer concludes that the Soviet
would willingly agree to keep q certain
portion Of her export materials for use
In her own industries and also a por-
ton of her manufactured goods for
domestic markets, but would be able to
10 this only II credits were maintained.
