NOTE: This is the third of a series of articles showing how Rus- sia is trying to demoralize trade in other nations by price cutting. The first and second appeared Sunday and yesterday. BY RANDALL HEYMANSON. Only the downfall of the administra- tion can prevent Russia from recover- ing rapidly as a force in world com- merce. But this should give no cause for panic. The volume of Russia's for- elgn trade, allowing for the general rise in worfld ”}mm, is nilll;“leu than 50 per cent of the pre-war figure. Not even the most hysterical zealot would indorse the notion that Russia could flood the world with cheap manu- factures within the next decade.

Even if the most sanguine hopes are realized, Russia’s export trade must be based largely upon a fictitious surplus rather than a real surplus for many years to come, Russia has two export policies, one for the East and another for the West.

My impression, after talking with ca- pable foreign observers resident in Rus- sia, is that the of collectiviza- tion is not fcti . Certainly {:unca' people are heart and soul in ‘movement. With the first tractors and “com- bines” come clever anizers from the city, well versed in the psychology of youth. Films depicting in dramatic fashion man’s struggle with Nature drive home the points of the orators. I saw one such film in Russia which had no other plot than the construc- tion of a dam in Turkestan. I am bound to_confess that it held me from start to finish, that it was far superior to those sordid stories of sex and crime which many Western producers imagine are the sole interest of the public. The “collectives” make a direct ap- peal to the constructive enthusiasm of the young, who are taught to be useful in all manner of ways. They come to believe implicitly in the glorious march of their nation. They are in the van. Adventure to Youth. In estimating the stability of the present regime, foreign observers too often leave out of account the new gen- eraion. To youth the task of devel- oping Russia's resources is. an exciting adventure, filling. all their thoughts, claiming all their enthusiasm. Propa ganda never wearies them, for, denied access to foreign journals and litera- ture, they have no means of cHecking its truth. I met several young men, all of whom spoke fluent English with a strong American accent. Their igno- rance of conditions outside their coun- was abysmal. ith youth on its side, the govern- ment is not likely to fail to carry out its full agricultural program through peasant obstruction, provided it “en- deavors to conciliate the seredniak. ‘Technical difficulties are more serious. While the output of agricultural im- plements and machinery has increased with startling rapidity—within a few years it will equal that of the United States—it is inadequate to meet the growing needs of the country. Even more serious is the defective quality of many of the machines and the lack of trained men to operate them. Ill-fitting rts have often to be sent back to the factories—a costly plant is often ruined h{‘ unskilled or overenthusiastic oper- atives. Reports of Inefficiency. The story of the workers who switched a current of 5,000,000 volts through ap- paratus designed to be worked at 1,000, to make it produce five times as rapidly, is, I believe, not apocryphal, and in thi country where labor is aristocracy many a good tractor is ruined because the drivers will not deign to go round with an oil can. These inefficiencies are ad- mitted by the party organizers, who are "L;lreleu in their efforts to eradicate em. Again, assuming that an exportable surplus of 15,000,000 tons of grain is realized in the next harvest, it is doubt- ful whether the transport system will be able to handle it. Labor is simply not available to load and unload trucks, ships and barges. In recent months the Soviet must have lost many thousands of dollars in demurrage, which it has been forced to pay as a consequence of its excessive eagerness to flood the markets with Similarly, owing to transport of lumber from the urals. riences, costly as they have been, are ely to teach the government a lesson. ‘We may expect that it will not rush so precipitately into the market next year. . If my analysis is , Soviet ex- of grain will show eegonsiderable icrease next year, equalinS&f not ex- ‘teeding pre-war levels. Russia oil has tl;re-dy won a secure position in the id markets, and only lack of labor d capital prevents the more rapid ex- loitation of the country's enormously Fich deposits.

Labor is | much less amenabie to discipiine in the remoter regions than in the industrial areas, where the vigilance of Moscow is never relaxed. The desertion of raftsmen on the Northern Dwina has been responsible for the loss of much valuable timber, which broke loose and was carried to %fl. From persuasion to compulsion is nly a step to the Kremlin. Already there are indicatiohs that leaving one's job, whether for better conditions or | pri from simple desire of change, will be made a punishable offense. General Export Increase Seen. An all-round increase of Russian ex- rts during the coming year seems evitable, but dumping on an immod- erate scale must inevitably bring its own defeat. In its haste to rush goods on the market before transport facili- ties were available, the Soviet burnt its fingers badly the last few months. I have already expressed the opinion ports, eed greater than the world's need of Russia. France has pointed the way—it rests with Germany and America, by far the largest exporters to Russia, to take the decisive step. Will American and German manu- facturers agree to call Russia’s bluff? ‘The situation is not acute enough to require immediate decision. By the world depression may be slightly eased and Russia may seek her ices. But if she persists in her policy of cut-throat competition, the Western world will be faced with a problem without precedent in history. ri o (Copyright, 1930 by North American News P In Dante's time, such was the super- stition of the day that when mothers met him they hushed their babies on their breast and sald, “There, there!
