trade. especially If a business dir
in this country is likely to cut
their western trade.
Any threat Of increased unem-
ployment In Western Europe
would have a powerful effect on
governments there. Up to now
that threat has been met by the
great economic expansion Of re-
cent years in this country, and
by large-scale foreign aid.
Political events here at home
must also be taken into account
The feeling Of Congress. which
often runs at fever-pitch on the
question of trade with the Reds,
can hardly be ignored.
And what of the domestic po-
litical effects of refusing to sell
huge agricultural SURPRISES
while agricultural prices are
falling? Or of turning away any
genuine Soviet offers that would
make jobs at time when un-
employment. though still small
on a national scale, is rising?

testing and measuring instru-
ments and farm machinery. The
Argentine agreement was report
edly for Russian exports of $50
million.
Soviet negotiators offered road
building equipment to Sweden
toward the end of 1858.
Oil to West
For the first time since World
War II. Russia last year made
important oil shipments to West
ern Europe. It made agreements
for crude and fuel oil shipments
estimated at 2.5 million tons,
and started deliveries. Coun-
tries signing up for oil deliveries
included France. Italy, Argen-
tina. Greece. Iceland. Norway.
Sweden, India, Denmark, Israel
and Finland.
Russia also made small ship
ments Of automobiles to Europe.
Among it's 1868 imports, Rus
STA received items for mass con-
sumption. These included her.
ring. fish oils, butter, meat of
citrus fruit, coffee, tea. synthetic
fibers, rayon cloth, wool cloth.
tobacco and cocoa beans.
But with all this. Russia's 1858
foreign trade with the non-Com-
munist world amounted to only
10 per cent of its total Sc billion
foreign trade, it is estimated in
Washington. The rest was trade
with Communist allies and
satellites.
Thus, it would appear that
Russia's ability to trade with
the West is still fairly small and
specialized. But its big proposals
suggest an effort to turn more
of it's production outward. Con-
centration OF the new industrial
exports on countries like India
and Argentina. which stand
aside from actual alliance with
the Vests concerted defense
drive. suggest that political eff
feet is at least as important to
Russia as trade benefits.
Other Factors.
All this must be weighed in
the Vests defense scales. But
other factors are involved.
A decision on trade with the
East must take into account the
eagerness of countries like Brit

compelled Russia to use gold to
pay for imports. although they

cember to foot the bill.
But if RuSsia'S 1853 trade per-
Torrance was sour. it's promises
were sweeter than ever. Here is
roundup. from a previously
confidential Government report,
of how the Soviet trade offensive
developed:
Mikhail A. Menshikov, a for
mer u. S. S. r. Minister of
Foreign Trade, was sent as Am
baSsador to India ito negotiate
formal arrangement of trade. F."
Another top Soviet trade official
was sent to Argentina to arrange
a bilateral trade agreement.
Agreements Signed.
Bilateral. agreements were
signed with France, Greece and
Iceland. These are barter agree
ments. providing an exchange of
certain Soviet goods for certain
Western goods.
Russia placed shipbuilding
contracts with the United King
dom, Italy. France, Finland, The
Netherlands and Denmark and
was negotiating at the end of
1853 with ship firms in Belgium
and West Germany. Ship S
ordered included fishing trawl-
ers, cargo ships. refrigerator
ships. dredgers, floating cranes,
tugboats. barges and tankers.
For the first time in Commu-
nish Russia's history. the Soviet
Union in 1853 committed itself
to send industrial equipment
outside the Communist world.
India and Argentina were
chosen for the experiment.
Agreements with the two coun-
tries call for Soviet exports of

Officials of the United States

they believe will soon wind up
with a call for a return to normal
trade relations.
These officials are among the

reply to the expected Soviet
offer. What it will be they will

History of Campaign.
Before summarizing the fac
tors upon which the decision will
be based. here is a short history
of Moscow'S trade campaign:
At the very time (from about
mid-1953) when the Soviet Lets
do more business" campaign got
under way, Soviet trade with the
free world was falling off.
1t is estimated in Washington
that Russian imports from the
West declined from $3.50 million
in 1852 to about $500 million in
1858. while Russian exports de-
clined from around $3.50 million
to about $3.50 million. The export
decline was chiefly due to failure
to deliver as much grain to
Britain as the Soviet had prom
iSed.
Grain shipments to Britain at
the end of September, 1858. were
some $50 million behind the 1852

He may have his faults, such

the brother Is honest and will

It should come as no surprise

naturally, puts him on the road
to ultimate redemption.
Taylor, incidentally, is not
forced to go through all Of his

warmth of feminine companion

of it, though. One Of the girls,
played by Janet Leigh, is a re-
