SHIP MATERIALS
Steel Plants Too Busy With
Home Orders, Including
Those of U. S.
Ey th* Associated Press.
MOSCOW, April 17.—Soviet Rus
sia's purchases of materials for . war
ships ran into difficulties today be
cause, she learned, some steel manu
facturers are too busy filling domestic
orders to bother with foreign ones.
Nikolai Bogomoloff, Soviet trade
delegate to Great Britain, returned to
Moscow with the news that British
firms are "swamped,” handling huge
orders for that nation's rearmament
program.
United States circles here heard
that Amtorg, Russian trading cor
poration, was unable to renew a steel
order with one company in the United
States because of heavy domestic de
mands. The company was said to
have offered a premium to be released
from delivering a previous order.
The Soviet commissariat of defense
declined to comment on a State De
partment announcement in Wash
ington that two American firms had
asked permission to fill Russian or
ders for battleship materials.
Ship Protection Needed.
The talk here is that Russia wants
to build new warships because of
the rapid development of her mer
chant marine and recent evidence
that the present navy cannot protect
that merchant marine In such waters
as those off Spain.
Bogomoloff, in ar» interview with
the newspaper Pravda, expressed con
cern over the possibility of getting
orders from British firms. He warned
Russians they might not fully utilize
the ten million sterling credit (about
$50,000,000) granted them by Eng
land on July 31, 1936, unless "nor
mal conditions prevail.”
Up to April 1 the Russian govern
ment had placed orders totaling 65,000
aterling (about $325,000) but will not
get some of them delivered for 24
months. The Russians refused to
place orders with many British firms,
It. was said, because prices tvere con
sidered exorbitant.
Reported Licensing.
(In Washington the State Depart
ment said representatives of two un
identified firms had been told licenses
for export of battleship parts to fill
Russian orders probably would be is
sued upon request. The Government
objected, however, to any contractual
clause providing that United States
Navy officials test guns before deliv
ery. Officials also said specifications
for 16-inch guns would need clarify
ing as to whether they were intended
for an expanded Soviet naval pro
gram.)
The writer, Vigilis, spokesman for
the Kremlin, in an article in the
newspaper Izvestia, attacked economic
talks of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, Ger
man minister for economics, in Brus
aels this week and declared rumors
of a Soviet-German rapprochement
were "fairy tales.”
