'STIMS0N STUDIES
SOVIET QUESTION
Recognition Of U. S. S. r. by
y. S. Is Question for Hoo.
YER Administration

washington. March 9.-ReRecog-
milton of Soviet Russia is an official
question the Hoover administration
intends to answer for itself.
For the last two years the United
States has followed q Russian policy
laid down by former administrations,
Secretary Stimson, believing there
might be some need for q change,
has decided to look into the situation,
SO, with an open mind and a mass
Of background, he hopes to formu-
late q definite" official attitude to-
ward the government that rules more
land than any other.
Stimson will review the entire
problem Of Russian affairs before
mapping any policy.
AS enunciated eight years ago by
Charles Evans Hughes when secre-
tary Of state, the American policy has
been that Russia must settle its Off
cial and private obligations to the
United States and its citizens and
cease its propaganda activities In
tended to overthrow the American
government. Repudiated Russian OBJ
legations to American citizens are
estimated to be near $400, 900, 900
while there also is in the balance q
$187, OOO, 900 credit extended by the
United States to the provisional gov
eminent which followed the car.
Recent agitation Of embargoes on
Russian goods has been responsible
to some extent for Secretary Slim
sons decision.

UNDERCURRENT OF
BUSINESS FEELING
REPORTED BETTER
Conservatism in Appraising Up:
lift Fails to Dim Improves
ment in Sentiment

Conservatism in appraising such
uplift In business as has occurred re-
Gently reflects the continued pres
ence Of numerous unsatisfactory
phases, yet the undercurrent Of better
feeling in various quarters is sus-
tanned. Since sentiment is an i'm
portant element In commercial re-
vival, the gain in confidence. al
though tempered by the existing UNI
c~ertatnties, Is encouraging. Tangible
evidences Of expanding activities are
not generally visible, but irregular
response is being made to seasonal
influences, and certain aspects of the
situation may have q deeper meaning.
Fluctuations in the volume Of trans
actions in different lines are to be
expected. but the short-term move
ments are less significant than the
factors which control the longer trends.
It has been recognized that commod-
ity price disturbances have formed a
serious obstacle to economic recovery,
and any lasting change from this
status scarcely could fail to prove
stimulating. Hence, indications OF
diminished unsettlement in some OF
the principal markets are among the
promising portents, and the latest
monthly index numbers reveal q mar
rowing Of the decline. More than
that, Dun's comprehensive list Of
wholesale quotations shows an excess
Of advances this week, for the first
time this year. The results of a
single week may not be conclusive,
yet more firmness has been develop
ing in several directions, including
pig iron and steel, most Of the non
ferrous metals, cotton and goods
manufactured from this staple, rub
Der and hides. The improved posi-
ton of prices for cotton cloths has
been directly traceable to exception
ally heavy demands, and in this field,
as in some others, the m~eagerness OF
available supplies has been the main
propelling force behind the increased
purchasing. Many buyers OF raw
materials and semifinished and fin
ished products have allowed stocks to
run unusually low during the period
Of restricted consumption, and orders
for purposes of replenishment. while
chiefly of small size individually, have
bulked larger in the aggregate.
Broadly viewed, conditions still dis
close many confusing contrasts, and
vigorous and widespread betterment
is lacking, yet further progress to-
ward the strengthening of the struc-
ture Of business has been achieved.
