A—12 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, RUSSIAN DUMPING METHODS DECRIED New York Bank Official Fears U. S. Trade Is Involved in Menace. + Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 16—Russian competition offers an immediate rather than a long-term problem, in the opin- fon of R. Whittlesey, vice president of the Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., writing in_the current issue of the { Financial Digest. “The world is definitely swinging to “a policy of protection and Russian dumping meets anything but a lenient ‘temper. 1t is hardly probable that the countries of the world will be content to see their merchants, manufacturers ‘and farmers seriously injured without taking defensive measures,” Mr. Whit- tlesey states, and continues: “Russian export trade is embryonic and incipient. Nevertheless it has grown from practically nothing and is grow- ing. Even today, however, the impor- tant thing is not so much the actual volume as the Russian practice regard- | ing prices, and the serious results that this price policy can have for well or- ganized and legitimate trade. Russian products find a ready market for the | simple reason that the purchaser prac- tically makes the price. Foreign trade as well as production are in the hands of the government, and prices are made as circumstances dictate.” U. S. Involved. “Russian _competition involves us di- {rectly and indirectly. Direetly as Rus- sian dumping may choose the United States for its objéct, and_indirectly as the practice may affect the exports of countries with which we trade or to which we lend money, and who find their markets reduced and consequently their ability lessened either to pay their debts or buy our merchandise,” Mr. tes, and_continues: N is in no sense an at- nor it is motivated by opposition Communism or Soviet theories.” We trade with many nations. But in Russia the crux of trade plans consists of labor policies dictated by a central authority without thought of costs of production or profits. The ideal is to organize a vast labor army submissive and obedient, having no part in trade operations which are controlled by considerations of economic and po- litical strategy, and the meal tickets now proposed m y that those of price policies which do not consider rofits.” The widely noted purchases of Rus- sia in this country should be considered together with the fact that “Russia is a buyer today so that she may be seller tomorrow under conditions of complete- 1y unfair competition.” Russian pur- chases should also be weighed against the hundreds of millions lost by our citizens and the Government as a Te- sult of debt repudiation and confisca- tion of property. Mr. Whittlesey be- leves that the present world depression | is largely & case of underconsumption and Russia’s part in this, as a result of living conditions in Russia and Sov- fet machinations in the Orient, is a large one. Evolution of Nations. | “In approaching the Russian problem, however, we should not fail to consider the evolution of nations and the fact that many countries have evolved from 8 feudal stat: under the pressure of economic and social changes,” MT. Whittlesey states. “If the five-year- plan becames the 10-year-plan, the 20- year-plan, or what you will, Russia may bicame productive not alone in the mines and fields, but also in the fac- tories. Provided always that the polit- ical situation does not change, and that foreign aid and _assistance ~continue, particularly from the United States. I1f the procsss of change be extended over & period of decades, the history of the progress of other nations from serfdom may well be repeated in Russia, and the communistic theories of today may give place to the practice which, with all of its shortcomings and inadequacies, modern nations have found to be the only workable plan. The Russian com- titive menace therefore may possibly ‘more of the immediate than the dis- tant future, which, in view of world conditions, makes it all the more im- at the situation be met |Wasl1ington Produce Butter—One-pound prints, 33%a34; tub, 32a33.
