ANGE IS EAGER + FOR SOVET TRADE New Policy Seeks Closer Re- lations to Revive Falling Exports. BY A. R. DECKER. @pectal Dispatch to The Star. WARIS, France, July 28~ The like- libbod that the French trade balance wf'l show an excess of imports over ex- perts of $600,000,000 by the end of the year is stimulating efforts here to cofclude the trade agreement with the Soet Union, which has been under | corxideration since May. T?e rupture of trade relations with the ®oviet« last October cut French expn?s to Russia from almost $1,000.- 000 to $200000 a month and this| Bes been influential in throwing French | foreign trade out of balance, according | to Louis Rollin, French minister of commerce. The British government over a long period has been trying to reach a debt agreement with the Soviet Union, but without success. The French govern- ment, it is thought, would like to have the Soviets at least acknowledge their debt. Debt negotiations are corollary to trade with the Sovicts, for it is in- consistent to stimulate trade with new credits while old debts remain unsettled and not even admitted. Soviet Relations Cool. During the last few years France seems to have neglected the BSoviets. Relations have been cool but not un- friendly on both sides, although the Soviets tried to sell the world on the erroneous idea that France was trying to bring about the overthrow of the Boviets. Recently France's attention was vio- Jently called to the Soviets by their dumping of cereals, lumber, glue, flax and even goods manufactured in coun- tries other than the Soviet Union. On the protest of French producers, the French government established a sys- tem of licenses October 3, 1930. This immediately stopped Soviet dumping but brought a Russian boomrang Octo- ber 20 in the cancelation of all buying orders in France.

The Soviet buying organization and the French government finally became | convinced that neither was gaining by the boycott and_that other countries, especially Greal Britain and the United States, were getting the trade. On July 13 the French ceased the license system for imports of Soviet goods. Ne- gotiations for renewal of trade rela- tions began in May, when Serge Dvol- isky of the Soviet Foreign Commerce Bureau headed a delegation which came to France, and the negotiations con- tinue. Business Picks Up. Since July 13, when the French offi- cial journal and the Moscow Izvestia printed a decree declaring that the trade boycott was over, business has picked up rapidly between Soviets and France, and more business is expected. The Russian trading organization in Paris is refurnishing its former offices, hiring employes and recalling officials sent on long vacations. Russians buy from France about $35.- 000,000 worth of goods annual French, purchases from Russia are less, but it is reported that PFrance has agreed to. increase its purchases of oil. cotton, lumber, flax, cereals, gelatin and glue. Russia buys from France elec- trical equipment, wool yarn, textiles, non-ferrous metal products and ma- chines. Russian ships are again enter- ing PFrench ports, which were avoided during the boycott. The Russians usually pay cash for Prench goods, but it is said that Prench bankers are discussing credit conditions by which Russians would deposit a guaranty fund or by which the French and Germans could get together to do business through acceptances, as with the British and Germans, in financing trade with the Soviets.

Smith, dean of the School of Education at the Unlversity of Indiana, delivered some postulates with related questions on his psychological ex- periments. “The characteristic laws of group behavior,” said Dean Smith, “can be used advantageously in building more desirable international relations. At the same time certain types of behavior, such as those involved in war and racial prejudice, offer strong opposition to any program which aims at the recon- struction of human relationships.” U.
