U. S. Leads World. Claims that America’s commercial i hold an advantage over (he United States because of its refusal recognize the Noviet goyernment rently do noi hold water. Despite even or eight years of non-recog- on, America leads the world in ex porting goods 1o flll Russian needs. The only reason that the 1'nite States does not import wore from Russia than any other nation, officials explained. is because its needs ave less. At that. the figures for the las fiscal vear veveal that, nex: to Gieat Britain, this country buys more from Tussia than any other. American trade with European Asiatic Russia for the five prewsr s from 1810 to 1914 averaged ap- proximately $28.600.000 aunnually in the volume of imports und $:3.000,000 N eXports to Russia. The ledger now reads for the last fiscal year $35,000 000 worth of goods exported to and £24,000,000 purchased. In other words. the Department of Commerce pofnts out, refusal of the nited States to recognize the Soviet Eovernment has not stood «s a har rier to enormously increasing trade yelations. The United States todav supplies 8.1 per cent of all of Rus. sla’s imports. Great Britain. the nearest competitor, supplies on per cent. Germany 14.5 per cent. new 1 lly, de d 15.6 ranks third. with There can be no commercial ireaty | between the 1'nited States sia u(r;til ;liblomnlh‘ s ionare sumed. But in the opinion of.Con, commercial treaty undoubtedly would facllitate” intercourse by putting gov ernment representatives in the fleld. it necessarily would not increase Rus sia’s purchasing power.

Despite the protests of mang American business firms, Government oficials claim that the same sources of information as to Russia’s commer- cial needs are as readily available to the United States as to other coun- tries. The chief barrier to i trade, which applies to all countries alike. is said to be her difficulty in ob. faining credit. Manufacturers and importers stand a risk which many are reluctant to chance. 3 Exlconomically, Russia 18 confronted with an enormous increased cost in production nd handiing of goods as compared with prewar times, due chiefly to inefficiency and a scarcity of skilled workers. But as inefficiency in its industrial system is eradicated, officials say, Rusia’s needs and buy- ing capacity bound to grow. Russia looks to the United States for the bulk of its raw cotlon. ap- proximately 80 per cent of its cotton Imports coming from this country. To the United States. it wlso looks for most of its industrial machinery, farm implements, tractors and primarily, 1ts oil fleld equipment o Russta’s chief esporis in world trade are grain and grain products, lumber and timber, furs, manganese ore and ofl products. per cent of its exports {o the United States are In furs for which there is » brisk and growing demanrd. As yet there is little or no demand the American market for ofher Russian products beyond licorica root. sheep casings and caviar, a delicacy that appeals particularly o (he American appetite. The Kollantay incideit. which readv has stirred pro-Russian circles in the United States. undoubtedly will b afred in the comiug session of Congress by those who share the view of Senator Borah. Representative of 1daho, that it is a blow for the move- ment of recognition of the Soviet gov- ernment by the United States. It will serve also as a means of assailing *he somewhat unusual policy of the administration in encouraging. un- officially, trade relations with a nation which it refuses to recognize in a diplomatic way. That the United Staies is endanger- fug its commercial supremacy with Nussia through adherence to this policy. is the attitude taken by Sena- tor Borah and other champions of Russia in and out of Congress. They oint to the enormous increase in ussian world trade in the last few vears, as indicating the vast pos- #ibllities of the future. Russlan ex- ports to all countries totaied $293.350.- 000 for the flscal vear 1925-1926. as compared with $10,000.000 for the vear 1920-1921. Tts impo:ts totaled $293.400,000. as compared with $150. 000,000 for the correspording period rimarily an_agricultural people be- fore the war, Russia is begiuning now to scratch the surface of ita vast un devsloped resources and to develov its heretofore neglected industries. No sther country, ita champions in Con- #ress claim, holds out such trade pos- bilities to the United States. Despite their fears that the United tates is jeopardizing the business in- rests of the country by withholding Pecognition, the Department ‘of Com- nerce takes the position that scarcely any more can be done through recog- nition than is now being uccomplished in @ commercial way. The United Btates now. it is con- tended. !s the main headquarters for purchasing agents of the Soviet gov- ~rnment. The Soviet headquarters is maintained at 185 Broadway, New York City. From that office are aperated three of the largest Russian svndicates, or co-operative buying agencies. Although incorporated under he laws of the United States, it is claimed that these svndicates are cap- italized and directed through the Soviet government. They really take the place of a consud general in New York.

A bond issue for thé purchase of park reservations and school pla ground sites in the District was ad- vocated last night by the Mount Plea: ant Citizens’ Association, in a recom- mendation adopted at Its meeting in the Mount Pleasant Pranch Library.|Skirley, on Firefly, second, and Dian Kerr, ri Miss Margery Lewis and Sir Thomas, winners of th The recommendation wili be sent to the House District committee in ses- sion this week. ‘While the recommendation as pro- posed by Charles I.

The adopted recommendation stipulates that the loan would run over a period not exceeding 30 years and calls for the maturity of some of the bonds five years after date of issue. Holds District Tardy. In proposing the recommendation, Mr. Consaul declared that the District is 10 years behind in its school build- ing program and at least 20 vears tardy it its park schedule. This, he contends, is due to lack of adequate appropriations by Congress. The Park and Planning Commission which was created by Congress he likened to an automobile without gasoline to operate it and he said that body could be about as efficient until Congress sees fit to appropriate more “gasoline” or to authorize the bond issue. Pointing out the ever increasing values in real estate in the District caused by the rapidly increasing pop- ulation, Mr. Consaul declared that sites should bé selected and paid for at prevailing prices even though de- velopment of those sites would be a matter for future consideration. The assoclation adopted also & reso- lution recommending the repeal of the clause of the act of May, 1926. ap- portioning $708,500 for the purchase of nine school sites and grounds, which stipulates that unless the properties can be bought for a sum not over per cent above the appraised value it shall be used for other purchases. This resolution was proposed by A. M. Hol- combe, chairman of the school com- mittee of the assoclation, who de- clared that that binding clause had prevented the purchase of a single site of the specified nine sites or even one alternative site for which the ap- propriated sum might have been used. The resolution calling for the repeal of that clause was unanimously adopted. The Mount Pleasant Citizens’ Asso- ciation is particularly interested in building enlargement for the Bancroft School, which is located within its isdiction, and because the needed prop- erty cannot be purchased for only 26 per cent above the appraised value, the improvements must wait. A resolution of commendation of Samuel F. Fowler, who on October 18 observed the completion of his forty- ninth vear of service as car starter for the Mount Pleasant line, was adopted also. In it Mr. Fowler was made a life member of the assocla- lon. An appropriation of $35 was made by the members of the body for the purchase of athletio equipment for the Powell Junlor High School. John er, president of the association, presided, and outlined tentative plans for the coming mem- bership drive of all citizens’ assocla- ns. New Planes Nearly Ready.

COAL STRIKE PEACE PARLEY I DELAYED | Miners and Owners Disagree. British Government Of- fers Compromise. By the Associated Press. LONDON, November 6.-Peace ne- gotlations are giving the government, miners and coal mine owners consid- erable trouble. A prolonged cabinet council today, followed by a confer- ence of the mine owners with the government, and another conferepce of the miners and trades union con- gress with the government, left mat- ters little advanced from the position of last night, and it appears certain that peace is not likely at least be- fore the end of next week. All the parties concerned in today" negotiations are vowed to secrecy; hence it is dificult to discover the exact situation, but it seems that the mine owners still decline to accept the terms proposed by the miners, who want a national agreement to embrace a minimum wage and the maintenance of the ratio of 87 per cent allocated to wages and 13 per cent to profits, besides some fobm of arbitration. The mine owners contend that these questions of ratio and minimun: should be settled by districts, and not nationally, and the government has submitted to the miners’ execu- tives, for their consideration over the week end, certain compromise propo- sals which the ministers believe they might induce the mine owners to ac cept. \ Tractors and other modern argricul- tural implements are becoming popu ar in the vicinity of Jerusalem. s ROCK CREEK SHOW DRAWS FINE LIST Various Classes Well Filied in| Horse Exhibition at Park- way Field.
