your attention. 1. The conflict of the Russian revolution with the Russian capitalist absolutely does not Interest German manufacturing circles. In so far aa the question does not concern Industry as such. You can destroy the Russian capitalists as far as you please, but It would by no means be possible to permit the destruction of -Russian enterprises.

Such a situation would produce a constant ferment In the country, supported by famine of material and, in con-, sequence of that, of products The English, American and French capitalist take advantage of this -disorder and understand how to establish here corps of their commercial agents. It Is necessary to remember that German industry lav th first years after the general peace will not be in a position' satisfy tha purchasing demand of the Russian market, having broad similar parallel tasks in the near, east to Persia, tn China and la Africa. i 2. It 1 essential, therefore, to conr duct a canvas and gather statistical Information with regard- to the condition of Industry, and. in view of the absence of money in Russia, address ln businee conversations whichever ia desired of the group of German commercial bank.

'Trade with Germany may be ln the' first period almost exclusively exchange for wheat and for any remaining product to receive household necessities. Everything which exceec the limits of such trad should be paid for in advance to th amount of 15 per cent, of the market -value, with the payment of the remaining nuarter tn a six. months period. In place of such an Arrange-, ment. probably.

It would seem to possible to permit, privately, the tak. inT of German dividend shares on the' Rusnian financial market, or solidly guaranteed industrial and railroad loans.
