IS By PAIL MALLON (Copyright, 1935, by Paul Mall on) WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. Only one thing Is wrong with President Roose velt's flrnt of Yankee Traders, Inc. It cannot get any customers. This 1 frequent ly dlscoura g 1 n g to business men, and It Is begin ning to discour age the "new dealers." You can mark the progress of one big nngle of the business by lifting the cover on the scene at the fifth consec- PAUL MALLON utlve collapse of the Russian nego tiations recently. f The traders were grouped In the office of Mr. Hull, secretary of state. He and his three aides ( Messrs, Moorc. Bullit. and Kelley) affected ine supreme court countenance cus- fcoivmry io i hdkcb irnacrs. in came M. Troyanovsky. the Russian ambas sudor, supposed to be hearing a com promise -offer. After greeting M. Troynaovsky, trader Hull waited for him to speak. ThP Russian dlckprer snld his gov ernment had Instructed him to re ject the American credit proposal and added that Moscow felt Its de mand for a long term loan and credit was reasonable. Mr. Hull was so ex asperated, he got up and said. In effect: "If that Is the way you feel about It, the trade is off." M. Troyanovsky was surprised. He expected some discussions. Nobody said anything. The Yankee traders arose. There was nothing left for the Russian trader to do but leave, and he did. Mr. Hull had to ring up "no sale" again on the empty cash register. The underlying difficulty In the FVifslan case Is the same as ln all. The Russians will not trade unless they get thc best of it. Specifically they spurn a long term credit and demand a $100,000,000 cash loan. In other words, they not only refuse credit but want to borrow from the store. Storekeeper Hull will give them five-year credits and no more. The result Is that a subtle dip lomatic shooting contest hr- started between the U. S. and the reds. Our diplomats are planting stories ln our press that they will dissolve the export-Import bank for Russia. Also that they will start an economic blacklist of nations with whom they do not do business. In response the Russians have planted a yarn In Moscow that Mr. Roosevelt promised M. Lttvlnoff a cash loan and that the president now la going back on his word. It Is all very merry, but there stni is no cash In the till and no early , likelihood of any.
