L. s. RECOGNITION
WAS LONG DESIRED
Urgently Sought by Russia
in Days Of Lenin
and Trotsky.
BY the Associated Press.

0y tuS AbSOCl2teo EIeSs.
American recognition Is the one thing
Soviet Russia has urgently desired from
the days when Lenin and Trotsky
sought close relations with the United
States at the very beginning Of the
Bolshevist regime.
But allied suspicion Of the Germanic
origin Of the Communist drive which
upset the Kerensky government and
Americas concern with winning the
war prevented any early understanding
between Moscow and Washington.
When the Soviets made separate peace
with Germany the case became hope
less.
Ill Feeling End Seen.
President Roosevelt's invitation to
Moscow to sent q representative to talk
Russo-American relations over with him
at the White House doubtless will cure
much Of the Ill feeling caused by re-
peated reflections Of Soviet overtures by
Secretaries of State from Bainbridge
Colby down to Henry L. Stimsoh.
Diplomatic circles credited the Presi-
dent with rare tact in not suggesting
that q commission be sent to Russia to
investigate conditions and determine
whether relations shall be resumed.
The Russians, with a government Is
years old, are tired Of being investi-
gated and treated as curiosity.
They claim their government is the
most stable in the world and has denl-
onstrated the soundness of their eco
nomic policies.
Aside from the fact Russia and the
United States were friends for more than
q century before relations were broken
of In 1915, the Bolshevist leaders have
always had more confidence in Amerl-
can democracy than in that of many
other nations. They wanted, too, a
strong friend like the United States
which was free from European entan-
clements and had no designs upon
European or Asiatic territory.
Furthermore they realized the wealth
and technical skill which had developed
the North American continent were
necessary for utilization Of the great
resources Of their gigantic territory ex-
tending from the Baltic to the Pacific,
from the Arctic to the Black Sea and
including one-seventh of the entire area
Of the earth.
Far East Implications.
With Japan and Soviet Russia dead
locked over the negotiations for the
purchase by Manchukuo Of Russia's
interest in the Chinese Eastern Railway
and threatening to break of diplomatic
relations, President Roosevelt's friendly
gesture to Moscow has many political
implications in the Far East.
China's recent restoration of dIplo-
matte relations with Russia was far
from pleasing to Japanese statesmen,
busy entrenching themselves in Man
churia. The prospective resumption of
friendly relations by Soviet Russia and
this Government will make Moscow's
position on Pacific shores seem less pre-
carious.
President Theodore Roosevelt stopped
one alteration between Russia and
Japan in Manchuria. Many interna-
tional observers believe his distant
cousin now in the White House may
prevent another.

BALANCE Of TRADE
IN RUSS|A'SFAvOR
Sales to U. S. Exceed Pur-
chases, Probably for First
Time in History.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt approaches the
possibilities of Russian recognition at q
time when Russian sales to the United
States have exceeded this Nations sales
to Russia for the first time since the
war. and probably for the first time In
history.
An analysis of Commerce Depart
ment trade statistics shows United
States exports to Russia for the first
eight months of 1888 were S6,500, ,0Oo
as compared to Russian exports to th~
United States of $500 900. an excess
100000 in Russia's favor.
At the siy-month interval this year
the Russian balance was much larger
at about $2,500,000, but, as interpreted
by Commerce Department economists
Russia Is quick to employ the favorable
balances she can build up, accounting
for the rapid closing Of the gap.
Too Much Optimism Seen.
While trade with Russia will be of
considerable Importance to the United
States, official economists believe there
has been little too much optimism.
They see small likelihood of Russian
foreign trade reaching sizable proper
tions for many months, not only be-
cause Russian needs are less, but also
because any large purchases from the
United States probably must be based
on credits granted by this Nation.
Total exports to Russia last year were
but $l2,300,000, as compared to S103,-
400, 900 in 1881 and Sill 400 900 in 1890.
Russia sold the United States s9,100, 900
OF goods in 1882. s12,6O0,00o in 1881,
s22 100000 in 1890
These declines have been largely ac-
counted for by Russia's difficulties in
obtaining credits here, a difficulty
which recognition probably would ease.
Purchases Comparatively Small.
The history of United States trade
with Russia shows RuSsia's purchases
never have been large compared to this
Nations total exports. In the period
from 1910 to 1914, the United States
sold Russia S23,500,000 out of total ex-
ports of 50, ,166, ,000,0 900: from 1921 to
1925 sales were S31, 700 900 out of a
total of $4,317, 900 900, and from 1926
to 1880 sales were SIS 800 900 out of a
total of s4,777, 900, 600.
A considerable part of the anticipa-
ton Of large sales to Russia is based
on the potential needs of Soviet de-
velopments, but an analysis, by q Com
merce economist shows Russia has COM
pleted her tooling job about as far as
she can at present. Her urgent needs
are for railroad equipment, iron and
steel shapes for construction, some
heavy machinery, electrical machinery,
and some non-ferrouS metals, such as
copper and aluminium.

FTOI1l fdRe.y
growing conviction that exception
ally favorable conditions exist for tt
widest cooperation between the tv
countries in the most varied fields
THE exchange of messages between
President Roosevelt and President
Kalinin will produce great. satisfaction
not only in public opinion Of both
countries. but among all sincerely in
terested in the maintenance and con-
solidation of international peace.
In the course of 16 years the
q. S. S. r. has established stable and
normal relations with its neighbors and
the most important countries of the
world and invariably has strictly main
tanned the principles of interference
With economic cooperation
I'VE wish to believe that the estab-
l1shment of official contact will prove
only the first step toward a rapproch-
ment OF two great countries which GER
tainly will be welcomed by all sincere
friends OF peace" Izvestia concluded.
Necessity for Change Seen.
To the Pravda, President Roosevelt,s
message inviting a Russian representa-.
tive to discuss relations between the
two countries signified the departure
from Americas former policy toward
the greatest country of Europe and
Asia"
1t testified, the newspaper added, to
the fact that leading circles of the
American bourgeoise finally have be-
come convinced of the necessity Of
changing that line of conduct.
They have considered that the
country occupied by the Soviets holds
a most important place in the inter-
national fleld-a circumstance which
cannot be ignored without hurting
their own interests" it added.
The Komsomolskaya Pravda declared
the American Presidents message
comes at time when the entire cap
itafst world is in serious plight.
"The conflict in the Far East, inten-
st1cation of Russo japanese relations,
the struggle on the Pacific between the
United States and Japan. Germany's
withdrawal from the League of Nations
and feverish preparations of the cap
ital1st powers for fresh slaughter-theSe
are among the most important ques-
tions each of which contains powder
enough to cause fresh explosion.
Must Strengthen Cause of Peace.
Under these circumstances" it was
added, "the Soviet-American rapproche-
ment must strengthen the cause of in
ternational peace"
The Krasnaya Zvesda declared the
question of relations between the o. S.
A. and the U. S. S. r. are of tremend-
GUS Importance in the present extremely
tense situation.
Establishment of normal relations"
it said, may cardinally change the
present international situation and
impede the outbreak of fresh armed
conflicts"
The Economitscheskaya jim said:
Establishment of relations between
the two countries is all the more natural
in view of the proof We have of what
an extensive sweep economic relations
between the two countries may reach.
"The powerful, highly developed
American industry possesses exclusively
favorable factors to satisfy the demands
of our country"
The exact date of M. Hitvinoff's de-
parture and who he will take with him
were not yet announced.

STATION LEASING
DEAL PROBE BEGUN
Radio Commission Launches
Inquiry Into WMCA Ac-
QUESTION by Group.

~N the ground that the deal
smacks of ''hoSS-trading" In
radio station licenses. the Fed
~ eral Radio Commission has
started an inquiry into the
contract under which Station WMCA,
New York, leased its program time to a
group of socially prominent New York
business men, Former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith has been elected chairman of the
board of the Federal Broadcasting Cor
poration, created to operate the sta
ton.
Upon motion of Commissioner Harold
A. Lafount the commission ordered its
legal division to study the contract un-
der which Donald Flamm. 33-year-old
owner of WMCA, leased only the COM
mercial and program presentation
rights of the station for five years at
q cost of nearly $750,000. Had the
station been leased outright and the
license he'd by Flamm assigned to the
new operators, the complication would
not have developed. The new group
took over operation Of the station about
10 days ago.
Commission o. X. Lacking.
The situation has an unusual aspect
1t seems that the commission was not
called upon to pass on the deal when
the papers originally were received, but
that a subordinate in its legal division
approved the arrangement without con-
sulting the commission.
Mr.. Lafount raised the issue when
copy of the proposed contract was
placed before him, shortly after his re-
turn to Washington from months in
spection of radio in the Far West. He
brought out that in January, 1882, the
commission adopted an order to pre-
vent 'trafficking' in licenses, which re-
Quired that all details be submitted to
the commission for action before any
such transfers are consummated.
The crux of Mr.. Lafount's argument
Is that Federal broadcasting should ac-
tually acquire the license of WMCA and
be held responsible for its public service,
rather than simply the program man
agement. The commissions legal divi-
sion is expected to submit its ruling in
about a week.
TWO programs, both in tribute to the
i New York Sun, which observes its
Tooth anniversary Sunday, will have
network distribution over the week end.
The first, at 8 o'clock tomorrow night,
