BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration was reported
reliably today to be considering
renewal of negotiations for a trade
agreement with Spain which lapsed
when the civil war broke out.
The agreement would serve, in
part. to offset the economic ad-
vantages which Germany and Italy
are expected to receive in Spain by
virtue of the assistance they gave
the Franco forces.
Efforts to obtain an agreement
with Spain reached the point where
on September II, 1884, a notice of
intention to negotiate was issued by
the State Department. Public hear
ines Of manufacturers, importers
and exporters interested in the
agreement began in November, 1884.
Trade Fluctuates.
The preliminary soundings will
have to begin all over again in view
of the changed economic situation.
The State Department said that
"when negotiations are resumed
public announcement will be made,
and renewed opportunity to present
views will be afforded
United States trade with Spain
has experienced sharp fluctuations
in recent years in major part owing
to the civil war.
In 1929 American exports to Spain
totaled S82,100,000, and imports
amounted to S36, 100000 In 1887 eX-
ports to Spain were down to $6,00O,-
900 and imports were $13,800,000.
Last year there was a sharp rise IN
exports to S12,2OO,0OO and imports
declined to S9,200,000.

Seder Services Open
Festival Of Passover

Washington Jewry ushered in the
eight-day festival of Passover, with
the holding of Seder services in
synagogues and in hundreds Of
homes throughout the city last
night.
Commemorating the exodus of the
Jews from Egypt, Passover-the
Festival of Freedom-is the time for
rejoicing and feasting.
The Seder rites in the home are
led by the head of the family, with
all members to the very youngest
assisting. Each table is set with
unleavened bread, or matZoth, a cup
of wine, an egg, cut apples soaked
in wine, almonds, raisins. a shank
bone of lamb, herbs, a dish of salt
water and parsley.
Symbolic of providing for Elijah,
the legendary wandering angel of
the Jews, each table contains an
empty chair and a cup of wine.
After the saying of grace the young
est member of the family opens the
door of the house for the prophet
and then recites four questions con-
corning the meaning of Passover.
AS the head of the family intones
the story of the Exodus, the food
offerings are distributed.
Matzoth, eaten in remembrance
of the fleeing Hebrews who hastily
prepared an unleavened bread, will
be served throughout the eight days
The home Seder service will be
repeated tonight by Jews of the
Orthodox faith. Members of the
reformed faith observe only the
rites of the first night.
