Secretary of Commerce Hoover stated today. The return of economic stability In Eu- rope depends on the repudiation of Bolshevism by Russia, he added. Hoover made his statement in confer ence . with newspapermen. It was con- .tsidered as significant, since he will prob sbly play a large part in determining the adminlbtration's Russian I trade policy. Since the British resumed Russian trade, demands that the United States do like wise have increased. . k "The question of trade with Russia is far more a political question than an economic one, so long as Russia is in -control of the Bolshevikl."- Hoover said. Under their economic system no matter how much they moderate in name, there . can be no real return to production In Russia, and therefore . Russia will . have no considerable commodities to export and consequently no great ability to ob tain imports." Hoover estimates that the Bolshevik government possesses gold, platinum and Jewelry worth anywhere from $6,000,000 to J200.000.000. 1 He expressed the opinion that "if any one Kuropean nation accepts the gold, no doubt ajl of them will." 1 - "Not Guilty," Says Jury in Trial of W.
