 SOVIET RUSSIA

quences'' resulting unless the So. viet government curbed the inter- national. As a result of Russia's reply, the state department today faced the difficulty of visiting these consequences upon the communist state.
 The phrase, "the most serious consequences" had been general ly interpreted as meaning little short of a rupture in diplomatic relations. There were dfinit in- dications that no ore in authority at the state department wished to take such drastic acton.
 Would Be "Coolhg Oh''
 What Secretary HUI meant to convey in his protest, 1t was ex- plained, was that thert would be a definite and progressive "cool- ing off" in Soviet-Amercan rela. tions unless the Soviet government agreed to curb the anti-American activities of the communtt inter- national.
 Observers believe Huil's advisors pushed him too far out ont limb in the wording of his protes, and that now Hull Is faced with dif- ficult decision. It Is believed that any action by the United States short of recalling Bullitt would be interpreted by the Soviets as batk- ing down from the vigorous staSd taken in the protest.
 Tn view of the text and tone q the Soviet reply, commentators here believed that two of the most acceptable altrnatives open to the administration. short of an actual rupture of relations, are:
 Two Alternatives
 i. Dispatch of another note to Moscow setting forth more specih- cally the grounds upon which the charges that the Soviet government had violated its pledges were bas- ed; or
 9. Recall of Ambassador Bullitt, leaving the embassy in Moscow in charge of q minor secretary.
 Way for the latter action was paved some time ago in the deci- sion of the state department to transfer John, c. Wiley, counselor of the embassy, to be consul gem eral at Antwerp, Belgium.
 Comment Is Critical
 Congressional comment was gen. orally critical of Russias reply. / . An exception was sent. Ebert Thomas, d., Utah, who commented that If their statement was blunt as ours, 1t is Q step forward Tn diplomatic relations as blunt statements are the best"
 Sen. Arthur Capper, r., Kans., said "the answer won't satisfy the people of this country. don't Zee lieve they can wipe the slate with a mere statement"
 Sen. L. J. Dickinson, r., Ia., said the Russian reply indicates the cynical attitude of the govern ment toward their promises. DID. lomatic relations should be i'm. mediately broken off"
 Sen. William H. King, d., Utah, was surprised at "the bellicose at. titude of the Soviet government" He said 'it looks as though they no longer want to hold out the hand of fellowship to the United States"
 May Lose Trade
 New York, Aug. 2s.--(UP)- Industrial interests hoping for a swiftly growing trade with the So. viet Union expressed fear to-day that strained diplomatic relations may cost the United States mill lions in export trade.
 Commercial experts pointed out that American exports to Russia this year probably will exceed con- siderably the $S0,0o0,0o0 worth of goods the soviets contracted for in the 1884 trade agreement. or- ders placed in the years first seven months surpassed $26.000.- 900, twice the total of 1934.
 Francis T. Cole, executive vice. president of the American Manu- facturers Export association said that 'if Washington and Moscow get to quarreling 1t will stop trade, of courEe."
