Ban Seen As Start
Of Bitter Quarrel

The sudden decision OF the
Treasury to bar importations OF
pulpwood from Russia today was
regarded as only the beginning OF
bitter controversy with Soviet au-
thorities over their attempts to
exploit the rich American buy
ing market.
An investigation now is under
way which may result in a SINH
lar ban being placed against i'm
portations of lumber and the
Treasury has been urged by
PENNSYLVANIA anthracite interests
to take steps to halt coal imports.
Russian Trade Good
Russian trade with the United
States is now above 500, 600, 900
a year. In June an increase in
Russian purchases was the only
bright spot in American foreign
trade.
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Lowman, who issued the bar
against pulpwood importationS,
explained it was mandatory under
the 1880 tariff act, which pro-
hibits importation of conyict-made
goods.
The decision was reached i'm
nediateIy after evidence was
placed in his hands. The Amtorg
and the international Paper Com
pany, parties to the pulpwood
deal, were not invited to answer
the charges.
Coal May Get Ban
The outcry against Russian con-
vict-made goods started in Con-
gress when Pennsylvania represen-
tativeS asserted the anthracite
coal market was depressed by
Soviet sales in this country.
Under the tariff act coal will
come under the ban in 1882. A
study Of the coal situation is be-
ing made by an interdepart-
mental committee upon request of
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
