The senator mentioned furs as
a possible product of trade with
the United States nd asserted
that there would be plenty of

were supplied from abroad. He
thought a commission of Americ

the officials admitted bad condi

senator secured Mrs. Harrison's
release independent of the Hoover

In a statement late today the
cenator said:
"After three weeks devoted to
the hardest work I ever expect to
do, I can confirm the impression
that the United States should im

Diplomatic Relation Favored
"My own belief Is that the re
sumption should be of diplomatic
relations, but I prefer to have a
recommendation come from the
commission which we would have
to send to negotiate a trade agree
ment. I am certain that any com
mission would e that prompt re
cognition was desirable.
V"I find no indication that Rus
sia is getting in a worse condition
but on the contrary I feel that the
government officials are in bar
mony and working to bring about

rreea have inspired confidence to
the Russian people, and any con
tact with the outatdo will be of
great help.

Answer Momentarily Expected.
On the basis of press reports
that the reply, was being sent by

expected at any time. State de
partmcna officials suggested that
no formal answer would be made

indicated that relief work could
