MUELLER VICE-PRESIDENT H0ME0PATHS
HENRY FORD HAS TRIED HIS PLAN
 FOR TEN YEARS
Closer Union Between In. dustry and Agriculture Has Been One of His Pet Schemes
BY MARBEN GRAHAM


 United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Detroit, May 11.-(UP)-(UP) Henry Ford's work in behalf of a closer union between industry and agriculture is ten years old.
 The first phase is visible In seven 'village industries" on small streams within 25 miles of Dear. born. In old-fashioned flour mills and in more modern buildings. Their purpose iB to permit the double advantage of city wages and county living.
 At Nankin mills, Plymouth. Worthwhile, Phoenix, Flat Rock and other places small industries, em. ploying from 20 to 200 persons, are in operation. Employees are free to cultivate their land during the growing season, all of them have extensive gardens, and some of them still work their farms.
 The second phase may be seen in the chemical laboratory located on tho. edge of FordB' historical vil- lage of Greenfield near the Edi- son Institute of Technology in Dearborn. Here within sight of the room where Edison invented tho incandescent lamp, research work CTS reduce huge quantities of raw crops to their constituent ele- ments in search of possible uses for onions, carrots, sunflower stalks, potatoes md all manner of farm produce in tho manufacture of automobiles and other mechani- cal contrivances.
 The soy bean, for instance, has been found to yield a substance al- most as hard as steel. Ford's basic idea is that instead of ex- hausting the minerals which have required ages to perfect, and tho forests which have required goner- atlons to mature, the raw material of industry may be supplied from the farms.
 He thinks 1t possible, in a very literal sense, to grow annually, tho materials now mined.
 The third phase appeared with the slump in business, when Ford hired thousands of his out.of- work neighbors to work in tho fields. A poculiarity of this last year was that he banned all farm machinery and gave the men hoes. This was attributed to his desire to make as much work for as many men as possible. But Ford himself, always has said hos does not believe in "mnking work" or in giving charity"
 Ills farmers received S5 Q day, which was ruinous farming. But, as Ford explained, hc wasn't growing for tho market; tho crops nti went Into tho processes of his experimental laboratory. He is not competing with farmers he is seeking a better and stendIer mar kot.
 The fourth phase now is on, with Ford strongly urging family gardening everywhere as q contri. button to national security. He feels thnt American lifc has boon unbalanced by tho individual fam. ily's neglect of It's own independ- ence In this respect. Last year few hooded him, and to-day he repont- cd what he Bald then:

of having trade data available at all
times.
Government officials say the Soviet
government, through the Amtorg Trad
ing Corporation, is assembling a depart
ment of foreign catalogs second to
none, to familiariZe organizations in
that country with American goods and
American firms.
These officials say the United States
Government, when consulted, urges
American firms to cooperate with the
Soviet in making trade information
available They draw no conclusions
from Soviet inquiries other than the de-
sire of Russia to keep its purchases fully
informed as to where the best pur-
chasing markets exist.
The Commerce Department reports
that approximately 20 per cent of total
Russian imports comes from the United
States. this portion amounting to about
500 600 900 per year The balance Of
trade between the two countries is ia

and Germany, the United States re-

the State Department is quite frank in
saying officially that the United States
Is no nearer recognizing Russia than
year ago. Secretary Stimson earlier
this week, in replying to questions as
to whether the United States is any
nearer recognizing the Soviet Union,
replied emphatically that the question
has not arisen in the department
While there has been no change in
the Steadfast refusal OF the Govern
ment to recognize Russia so long as
the Third Internat.onale continues its
revolutionary propaganda, it was point
ed out that the policy of this Govern
ment has always been one of moral
encouragement to trade relations with
Russia. There has been a distinct
change in policy under the administra-
ton Of President Hoover and Secretary
Stimson to remove any impedimenta to
legitimate trade between the two coun-
tries.
1t has helped in every way possible,
officials claimed, to encourage business
missions to Russia and from the Soviet
Union to the United States going so
far as to make possible the establish
ment of Amtorgs and an Official Soviet
trade relations bureau in Washington.
State Department officials pointed to
the fact that this Summer has witnessed
unusual activity IN what appears to be
an educational campaign TO force i'm
mediate recognition of Russia and re-
adjustment of American relations with
the Soviet.
Especially at Summer schools con-
Quoted by universities throughout the
country, it was stated, professors have
been speaking in favor of recognition
and have been instilling in the minds
of high school teachers as well as others
connected with educational institutions
the idea that trade relations make it
imperative for this Government to eX-
tend long withheld recognition of the
Soviet regime. These reports of an
aroused public opinion in favor OF rec
ognition undoubtedly have been given
wide circulation in the Russian press
with the result that it is possible the
Soviet government regards the present
as an unusually good opening for a
renewal of its attempt to obtain Amer
ican credit

U. S. Interprets Reports as Move to
Obtain Credits.

State Department officials today were
Inclined to credit reports from New York
of the opening of a campaign to float
an unlimited amount of Russian gold
bonds as an effort on the part Of the
Soviet government and sympathetic
financial interests to initiate trial
balloon" to see If there was any posi-
bility Of obtaining greatly-needed credits
in the American market.
Officially, both Secretary Of State
Stimson and Assistant Secretary Rogers
maintained a strict silence on the New
York report which stated that arrange
lnentS had been made by the Chase
National Bank and the international
Acceptance Bank to handle the transfer
of the funds and the delivery of the
bonds in this country. Significance
attached in New York to the proposed
bond issue as foreshadowing eventual
recognition of Russia and a change in
relations between the United States and
the Soviet Union caused only mild
amusement in State Department circles
Ths reason given by Mr.. Rogers for
his refusal to discuss the bond f1ctA-
ton was that the State Department
has no confirmation Of press reports
and has no official knowledge of their
sources. If the bonds are actually is
sued, Mr.. Rogers said, he presumed the

Disapproved Bonds in 1928.
In 1928 the State Department dis
approved the sale of Soviet bonds.
The position of the State Depart
msnt, announced on February of that
year, when it had been asked TO pass
on the bonds, was set forth IS fol-
lows:
The department objects to financial
arrangements involving the fotation of
loan in the United States or the en-
ployment of credit for the purpose of
making an advance to the Soviet re-
gime. In accordance with this policy,
the department does not view with
favor financial arrangements desigred
to facilitate in any way the sale Of
Soviet bonds in the United States. The
/ department is confident that the banks
and financial institutions will cooper
ate with the Government in carrying
out this policy"
Officials in close touch with Russian
affairs state that the breakdown OF
the five-year plan and the failure Of
this years grain crop in Russia make
it more imperative than ever for Rus
sia to obtain immediate credits in this
country where the best opportunity
offers. The hand of the Amtorg in
New York was seen behind what they
regard as efforts to unloosen a trial
balloon" and the fact that the Chase
National Bank was named as one of
the promoters, 1t was said, lends addi-
tional significance. That financial in
stitution, it is believed in Government
circles, is already heavily involved in
commercial loans to Russia.

took the lead in originally extending
credit to Russia. Huge exports involv-
ing many millions of dollars were
financed by the bank without loss.
American exports to Russia have
grown steadily since 1923 with no major
Interruptions until the start of 1882
In 1923 they totaled $4.550000; in 1890
they reached their peak at $ll4,339 600

Amtorg Active.
TIE Amtorg Trading Corporation is
Russia's principal commercial repre-
sentative in this country, and the larger
part of the total of American goods
bought by the Soviet passes through
Amtorg. While officials of the trading
CORPORATION have declined to comment
on plans for re-establiShing Russian
trade on a we'll financed basis, it was
learned it had been cooperating with
chambers of commerce all through
America in an effort to gain first-hand
information on the character of goods
made in different sections Of the coun-
try and their prices.
This information has been forwarded
to Russia. where the government is
said to keep set Of catalogues that is
second to none in the world.
According to the Russian-American
Chamber of Commerce, Russia since
1924 has purchased $2,500,0 100000 Of
goods from the outside world without
single default. The Soviet has con-
sistently refused, however, to recognize
debts incurred by the former czarist
regime and this fact has proved one
of the principal stumbling blocks in
the path Of closer trade relations be-
tween the two countries.
