Soviet exports and imports after
the war may total one billion
dollars in value, with the Unit
ed States selling annually as
much as $50 million dollars
worth of goods.
Before the war, trade between
the Soviet Union and the United
States had reached stable pro-
portions. U. S. exports to Rus
STA ranged in value from 80 to
100 million dollars a year, while
imports from Russia were
around 25 to 30 millions a year
The United States usually had a
favorable trade balance of 4 to
1.
Trade analysts do not view
Russia as a strong competitor
of the United States and Brit
ain, for example, in world mar
kets after the war, but point
out that she will have to sell a
considerable amount of goods
abroad to pay for imports she
vitality needs.

Postwar Sovety Imports
to Feature u. S. Supplies

WASHINGTON - WD The
United States stands good
chance of becoming the leading
selling nation to the Soviet I'm
ion after the war, according to
official trade analysts.
Before the war the United
Kingdom led all the countries in
purchasers of Russian goods
while Germany sold the most to
the Soviet Union. But now it
appears that the United States
will outstrip all competitors for
Soviet trade.
The Soviet Union will have a
tremendous need for capital
goods--oil equipment (from
drilling to refining), electrical
manufactures, steel, chemicals,
railroad equipment, ships and
shipbuilding techniques. eric
Johnston, U. S. Chamber of
Commerce president, said that
during his recent tour of Russia,
officials talked in terms of buy
ing billions of dollars worth of
American goods.)
1t is known that the Soviet
Union is interested in obtaining
commercial credits in the United
States. In addition, Russia has
gold stocks and foreign curren-
cy for making trade payments.

See No Serious
Milk Cut Here

Mothers who worry about
sufficient milk for the family
may find some consolation in
learning that enough milk dur
ing the fall and early winter is
expected to be obtainable in
spite of a 10 per cent drop
throughout the Metropolitan
area.
Michigan Milk Producers AS

prediction, also added word of
cheer for the housekeeper's
pocket book by adding that no
increase in price to the consum-
er is anticipated, but an in
crease of six cents per hundred
pounds for class lib to the

Lack of rain and poor feed
conditions have brough about
the drop in milk production. In
creased demands have exceeded
the approximate seven per cent
increase of milk cows over the
Nation.
