F. lUblno- rlteri, head of tho export department of the oommtssarlst for foreign trade, Indicated In a statement here. Although he did not officially and apeclflcalry sound the death-knell of the Russian trade missions abroad. he strongly hinted that they were no longer necessary for a nation with a large favorable balance of trade which Is banning to feel aggressive ly Independent on the world econo mle stage. He aald: "We hare been faced during the last six months by a Tory Important problem that Is to transfer our for eign trade operations, in many branches. Into the U. S. 8. R. - During the first nine months of 1D35, the Soviet union had a favor able trade balance of 130,100.000 gold roubles. Export totaled 301,270,000 roubles, Imports 171,000,000. Trade Debt Reduced Oone are the days when Soviet Russia goes begging for credits at any price and Importunes foreign coun tries to buy lta goods on virtually their own terms. Increase of produc tion and reduction of the foreign trade debt though they may have been bought at a staggering price In human suffering have made Soviet leaders feel like a young boy who. winning his first flst-flght, feels proud and confident of his strength. , Rablnovltch Indicated that here after all foreign trade transactions would be handled from the Soviet Union, also that delivery of goods would not be made abroad but In Soviet ports. Having an Insignificant merchant marine, the1 Soviet Union during recent years has paid large shipping tolls to vessels of other countries to transport Its goods abroad. y Preparations for the "new deal" In Soviet foreign frade will Include the construction of new warehouses In Soviet cities and the training af the commissariat's workers In foreign languages, so they may hatidle busi ness correspondence vAth firms abroad. lis "1c Change Advised "Heretofore," Rabfnovltoh said, "a great number of our export trust workers understood that their duty was only to prepare goods and that the sale of thww goods would be han dled by representatives abroad. Rence workers hi the Soviet Union knew little of foreign market or their lan guages. Now a basic change Is neces sary. uWe must raise the technical knowledge of our workers In the . Soviet Union and carry out all trade operations here, not only without los ing a penny but, further, we must profit by the transfer of trade opera tions to our country." Women seem destined 4o play an Important part In this new program. ..Recent statistics revealed that four out of every ten workers are women. Mnre than 800.000 women are en gaged In Soviet building industry, while 64,000 work as engineers and technicians. Women Do Heavy Work It Is nothing unusual in Moscow to see brawny young girls carrying heavy timbers, digging a subway shaft or driving a truck. They, at lpiwt the younger ones, grin and seem, to tike their new role. The Soviet government pays wom en exactly the same wages as men for the same classes of work. Everything la done to make them feel economi cally Independent. Rise of woman labor over the last eight years Is shown by these figures: In 1930 the ratio of female labor In the oil Industry was 8 per cent; In power stations 3.0 per cent; In the Iron and steel Industry, 7.7 per cent; midline building. 74 per cent. In 10.14 the corresponding ratios were: ell, 11.4 per cent; machine building. 24.5 per cent. Mrs. W. J. Kerr MRS. J.
