From its correspondent in Moscow
the New York Herald Tribune pub
fishes a dispatch calling attention TO
q situation that has long been patent
nj Washington. namely. that the rosy
hopes OF vast Soviet american trade
revival, which was to follow the
United States recognition of the
Communist government. have con-
epicuously failed to be realized
Eight months have gone BY without
any substantial increase i'm trade, or
any immediate prospect thereof.
Business, as everybody knows, was
10 be conditional on the extension OF
liberal American credits To the Soviet.
Credits, on their part, were only to
be forthcoming after an agreement
By the Moscow authorities to fund
the pre- -bolshevist debt 10 TIE United
States. Although debt negotiations
are supposed to have been going on
uninterruptedly in both Moscow and
Washington, there is no evidence that
they are making any progress what
ever. despite the creation here OF an
Export Import Bank under Govern
nent auspices for the specific pur-
pose OF financing Soviet purchases in
this country.
II has been the consistent under
standing Of the Washington Govern
ment ever since Mr.. Litvinoh laid
the foundations for Soviet recognition
here last November, that Moscow
would move affirmatively and as
speedily as possible toward a debt
settlement, and that the American
credits which must precede trade
would then be forthcoming. Ger
tainly the establishment of the
Export Import Bank Is an earnest
of our purposes and Of our ex-
pectatlons of business relations OF
mutual profit. American business
men are turning up in Moscow look
ing for orders. but come away empty
handed. AS the Herald Tribune cor
respondent tersely puts it. There is
no trade to be had from the Soviet
Union without credit, and no credit
without debt settlement"
American business naturally regrets
the resultant impasse The Soviet
market is potentially rich one. Our
exporters do not view with satisfac-
ton the capture by Great Britain of
the lions share OF all those Soviet
orders available on a credit basis.
II our new friends at Moscow are
as keen for Soviet American trade
relations on a large scale as their
authorized spokesman from time to
time say they are, the remedy is
IN the hands of the u. S. S. r. Its
government must make a concrete
move toward debt settlement. 1t
would be unfortunate If Moscow, in
fiuenced by the default to which
Americas World War debtors have
chosen TO resort, thinks that the
Soviet can proceed over here as If
the old Russian debt did not exist.
The cases are not analogous.

There is a means of sweet relief
That have known before;
In order to assuage my grief

And join the general roar.
