Nikolai Lenine said, an reported tn his organ the Izvcstiya "The majority of our population n<w consists of peasants, and we must take them into acount if wo want 10 do productive work. Or course, free trade means the introduction of capitalism. >>ut you cannot escape that. Capital ism i* no danger to us, if most of the j factories, transportation and external! trade are in our hands. "Up to the present we have not suc ceeded in giving a single concession, j hut we are nearer now to the con tusion of treaties than we were n month ago. Concessions will mean a state of capitalism that will help us to improve our economic condition, which we alone cannot do. If the greater number of factories and the general control remain in our hands, concessions do not constitute a danger, for us." j Leninc's implication that all fac tories In Russia will not remain na tionalized given probability to the per-, ?d stent, rumor here that he will lift the control of foreign owned factories. A Mr. Noreger, who recently arrived in Stockholm from New York, said he rep resented several American nrms and was seeking oil and shale concisions In both Esthonla aud Russia. Washington B. Vanderllp is said to be associated with Noreger in conneotion with certain Russian concessions. The former now is chiefly eager to get Cau ?a?ian oil concessions, which he ?*P*c(lH to place entirely in American hands. Mr. Vanderllp asserts that half a do*en lm portsnt American firms are hacking him Although some good windfalls have t.een mad.- by foreign firms trading with Russia, the whole business now looks unreal and an observer cannot see much hope of a general revival of Rus.o Buropean or Russo-American trade.

Ludan Dior, Minister of Commerce, has continued the present monopoly system under the guise of waiting for th* liquidation of existing . stocks, amounting to 100,000 tons A group of refiners in close contact) with American Interests offered to buy the?e stocks outright from the Ministry of Commerce oti condition that they be permitted to Import oil freely from sources where they could buy It at best advantage. They even showed an offer by the Standard Oil Company to biipply 100.000 tons of oil at the cur rent price in the United Stales and promised to fix* the selling price of the , entire 200,000 tons at midway between ' the Ministry'* sale price and the pur chase price toi the United State*. However, the offer did not reach M.
