Endeavorers Used to Aid
World Wide Prohibition
PORTLAND, Ore., July 15 (/p)—Use
of airplanes directed by radio, power
ful automobiles and many fast ves
sels by bootleggers, all tend to make
the enforcement of prohibition a world
problem, said Ernest H. Cherrington of
Westerville, Ohio, general secretary
of the World League Against Alcohol
ism, in an address tonight at the thir
tieth international Christian Endeavor
convention. He urged the Christian
Endeavorers to become more active in
the world-wide prohibition movement.
“The liquor problem is a world prob
lem,” he asserted. “The Eighteenth
Amendment received the strongest of
ficial sanction ever given a constitu
tional provision, yet never before has
there been arrayed against any such
provision, such a powerful and aggres
sive minority as that which today op
poses national prohibition. That mi
nority, moreover, is being supported
and reinforced not merely by state and
national liquor organizations but also
by gigantic wealthy, politically influen
tial international liquor traffic.
“Knowledge of the truth will event
ually make beverage alcohol an impos
sibility in modern civilization because
it is at variance with the inexorable
economic law of the new age.
“The moral and religious forces of
America must take the gospel of pro
hibition to the rest of the world, in or
der to make permanent American pro
hibition at home.”

TRADE BETWEEN U. S.
AND RUSSIA EXCEEDS
VOLUME BEFORE WAR
WASHINGTON, July 16. (/p)—De
spite the diplomatic breach between
Washington and Moscow, and the
complete absence of the usual offi
cial agencies for promoting commer
cial intercourse, Russian-American
trade continues on the increase.
Commerce Department figures for
the calendar year 1924 record a total
export and import business with Rus
sia amounting to $49,000,000, while
statistics compiled by the Russian
Information Bureau here reach the
even higher figure of $55,900,000. The
showing leads Information Bureau
officials to predict a 1925 total of
upwards of $75,000,000, compared to
an average annual interchange
amounting to about $45,000,000 be
fore the World War.
Trade agencies set up in the Uni
ted States by the Russian govern
ment and by various Russian indus
trial groups have supplied the ma
chinery thru which this vast trade
is carried on. In some measure these
agencies have taken the place of the
j consular agents who are missing be
j cause of the failure of the United
States government to officially re
ceive emissaries of the Soviet.
The trade machinery thus provid
ed has its hub in New York City,
where several Russian commercial;
agencies maintain headquarters. The
system is described by the Russian
Information Bureau as follows:
In principle Soviet foreign trade is
a monopoly vested in the People’s
| Commisariat of Foreign Trade. In
practice the Commisiriat confines it
I self to regulartory supervision, and
the actual trading is carried on by
various commercial organizations, ia
some of which foreign private capi
tal is allied with Soviet capital.
The principal agency for general
trade in the United States is the
Amtorg Trading Corporation, incor
porated in New York State with a
paidup capital of $1,000,000, and with
both Russians and Americans among
its officials. It represents directly
most of the great Russian monopo
lies, including the coal, sugar and
electrical trusts. Its 1924 trade turn
over amounted to $17,000,000.
Next in importance is Centrosoyuz
America, Inc., which is the trading
agency of the Central Union of Rus
sian Consumers’ Cooperatives, a
group representing millions of mem
bers. Last year it handled more
than $4,000,000 worth of business,
mostly in furs imported from Rus
sia.
The Russian Union of Agricultural
Cooperatives likewise maintains its
trading agency in the United States.
It is called the Selskoysuyus, but as
its turnover is comparatively small.
Another trading medium is the AI
lied-American company, which repre
sents 38 American commercial firms
in Russia and last year handled a
$4,000,000 business.
The Information Bureau’s statistics
show tht Russian purchases in the
United States are about four times
the sales of Russian products here.
The principal Russian exports are
grain and food products, petroleum
products, flax, furs and timber.
At present manufactured products,
especially tools and machinery, are
a large factor in Russian imports.
Russian textile mills also are buying
large quantities of cotton. Last
year, according to thelnformatiou
Bureau, Russian organizations pur
chased in the United States $38,000,
000 worth of cotton, $2,250,000 worth
of farm machinery, $1,400,000 worth
of industrial machinery, ,$75^,000
worth of oil well supplies, and $2,
700,000 worth of flour to supply cit
ies affected by the bad harvest.
Most of the cotton purchases here
are made thru the All-Russian Tex
tile Syndicate, which controls prac
tically the whole textile industry of
the Soviet union. The shipments are
made in cargo lots to the Soviet port
of Murmansk, mostly from New Or
leans.
