Moscow Announces
Broad Trade Accord
with Chinese Reds
ey the Assoeicied Press

MOSCOW. April 21.-Russia and
the Chinese Peoples Republic (the
Communist government have en-
tered into a broad-scale trade ar
rangement, it was announced to-
day.
The Soviet Union will exchange
equipment for raw materials from
China under terms of an accord
signed Wednesday in Moscow. This
is the first trade agreement to be
announced between the two gov
ernments.
The accord calls for:
la general trade agreement.
2. Agreement on mutual trade
for 1850.
8. A protocol fixing the equip
ment and materials quotas which
China will receive from 1850 to.
1852 inclusive under terms of the
30-year treaty of friendship, al
lance and mutual assistance
signed here with Mao Tze-tung
February IA.
The announcement did not give
details of the kind of equipment
the Soviet Union would send to
China, nor of what raw materials
China would send the Soviet
Union in return.
1t is presumed in foreign circles
that the Soviets will be sending,
among other things, machinery,
railway equipment, motors and
hydraulic and electrical equip
ment.
1t is thought here that the
Soviets also may be sending
seeds. perhaps in large quantities,
under the terms of $500 million
credit granted in the February "A
agreement.
The announcement said the
trade talks which have been going
on here for some time had been
conducted in "an atmosphere of
friendly. mutual understanding.
After ceremonies connected with
the signing of the documents, the
Chinese delegation left by the
Trans-Siberian Railway, seen off
at the station by Deputy Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko and
