FARRELL's LETTER

A 8 the Toxeter bus set Barbara

saw that lights were springing up
IN the town. although 1t was only a
little after four o'clock.
She was very tired. Her assistant
at the shop had been stupid, Gus

her wholesale orders had arrived

made a dispirfted way towards the

As she turned In the direction OF
Kings Barn she found that she still
held the second letter unopened in
her hand. She stopped under a
street lamp and scrutinized 1t. A
square envelope, extensively heavy
and plain-she started and thrust It
into the other pocket.
It was, Of course. from Farrell

HULL To MAKE
TOUR Of LATIN
COUNTRIES
BY International News Service

BY International news SekNicS
To give impetus to the Ameri-
can movement for the develop
ment of closer economic unity
with the nations of Central and
South America, President Roose-
velt has decided to send Secre-
tary of State Hull on a goodwin
mission to several Latin-American
capitals, while en- route to the
Pan-American conference at Mon
tevideo.
Abandoning his desire to vel
come M. Litvinoff, the Soviet for
eign minister, when the latter
arrives here to discuss resump-
ton Of diplomatic relations, Hull
accepted the arrangement.
To Leave Nov. 5
He announced he probably
would leave for South America
about November 5 and travel to
the west coast of that hemisphere
by the Panama Canal. He plans
to visit several of the capitals of
the west coast of South America,
including Lima, Peru, and San
tiago, Chile. He then intends to
take the train over to Buenos
Aires, Argentina.
Besides spreading word Of this
Governments intention to adhere
to the policy of the good neigh
Dor" in its relations with the ma
tions south of the Rio Grande,
Hull said the purpose of his visit
also will be to discuss matters per-
tanning to the Pan-American con-
ference.
j. Reuben Clark, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, Butler Wright,
American minister to Uruguay and
Spruille Braden, New York copper
man, are under consideration as
members Of the American delega-
ton to the conference, Hull said.
Five Delegates
The delegation probably will
number five, the other two mem
bers being himself and an Assist
ant Secretary Of State. The latter
is expected to be Sumner WelleS,
now ambassador to Cuba, but who
is due to change places with AS,
sistant Secretary Of State Jeffer-
son Caffery as soon as the Situa'
ton in Cuba becomes more set
tied
Hull announced that Assistant
Secretary of State Moore would
take charge of the State Depart
ment's work in connection with
the Russian situation. Moore will
be assisted by William c. Bullitt
! special assistant to Hull.

TWO WOMEN DIE
MYSTER|OUSLY

IN the records of a Brooklyn
Savings Bank police today hoped
to find clue to identities Of
two midd1e-aged women found
dead under mysterious circum-
stances in small recreation
square of the East Side.
In the clothing of one of the
women, apparently about 40 years
old, police found 1920 in cash
and a handbook showing deposits
Of $4,000. The bank book bore
the name katie Cosgrove." At
the street address listed in the
book, however, no one was found
who knew a woman Of that name
or who could recognize the dead
woman.
The other woman, about 10
years older than her companion,
was gaunt, emaciated to the point
Of starvation, medical examiners
said. She was penniless.
Residents of the district told
police the two had frequently
been seen together but they were
not known to have any friends
nor known address.
Examination by police physi-
clans disclosed no cause for death.
It was expected autopsies would
be ordered today to determine
whether they had been poisoned
or had succumbed to disease or
malnutrition. Both were shabbily
clad and had apparently spent
considerable time without shelter,

TRADE REVIVAL

FORECAST

Negotiations betUeen the United
States and Russia, preSuoing re-
sumption OF diplomatic relations
bett1een the ttOo countries, may
hare marked effect on business
conditions. Herewith is the first
OF ttOo articles dealing Wtth the
subject from trade standpoint.
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
NEW YORK, Oct. % GN.S0.
Prospects Of a revival of business
between the United States and
Russia were discussed with keen
interest in foreign trade circles to-
day.
Reports that by January Presi-
dent Roosevelt will announce the
resumption Of normal diplomatic
relations between the American
Government and the Soviet union
has started flood of speculation
as to how trade in this country
will be benefited and economic re-
covery stimulated.
Various American industries will
be given a sharp impetus, in the
opinion of trade experts, if tn e
United States ablisheS-as is
reported contemplated "a large
credit for the Soviet union to
make purchases in this country.
Trade Took Sharp Drop
Trade was rising between h
United States and Russia up to
three years ago. Then it started
to drop. It took a precipitous de-
cline in the past two years.
The decline in Russian pur-
ehases in this country was due
chiefly to two reasons:
1.-Absence OF satisfactory
credits and financial facilities
on the part of the banks.
2.-Serious difficulties in the
bringing in of RuSsion prod
lcts to this country. Russian
trade experts say that various
charges were leveled against
Soviet goods, such as dumping,
forced labor, and unfair prac-
tices.
Objections cropped up when
Russia started to develop the eX-
porting of a certain product to
America, according to experts
here with Soviet connections.
They say hearings were held in
Washington, resulting in delays
and general dissatisfaction.
Went to Other Nations
The result was that Russia
turned from the United States to
other countries. A great deal Of
trade was diverted to European
countries which formerly went to
the United States.
These two main difficulties, it
was explained, aggravated Rus
6ia at a time when European
countries were making a drive for
Russian business with long term,
government guaranteed credits
and tariff concessions.
The assumption in foreign trade
circles in New York today is that
these difficulties will be removed
when Maxim M. Litvinoff, Soviet
Commissar of Foreign Affairs, and
President Roosevelt, get together
In conference.
