TRADE WITH RUSSIA
BRITISH AGREEMENT PURCHASE OF TIMBER (Reed. Oct. 27, 3 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 26. The Foreign Secretary, Viscount Halifax, replying to a suggestion made in the House of Lords to-day that trade with Russia should be restored, said that the action of the Soviet in the Baltic States hffd caused anxiety. The situation at present was not clear.
Referring to Poland, the Foreign Secretary said that the Government would not recoil from its pledges to her. It made no difference to the Poles, whether they were invaded from the east or the west.
He added: “I think that despite Russia’s professed economic solidarity with Germany, she now appears to be willing to trade impartially with all belligerents. The British Government already has taken advantage of this willingness and has reached an agreement for the exchange of timber for rubber and tin and, now is examining the possibility of further trade on a barter basis. Lord Halifax added that the Government was greatly pleased with the maintenance of good Russo-Turkish relations.
