TRADE WITH RUSSIA
BRITAIN NOT SATISFIED MR R. S. HUDSON'S MISSION. GENERAL AND EXPLORATORY CHARACTER. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 21. Mr Oliver Stanley, President of the Board of Trade, announced today that any discussions during the visit to Moscow which the Parliamentary Secretary to the Department of Overseas Trade, Mr R. S. Hudson, is making as one of a series of visits to various capitals in furtherance of the Government’s policy of increasing trade will be of a general and exploratory character. He will be able to explain difficulties experienced from the British side in working the present commercial arrangements between the two countries as well as to hear from the Russian side what their difficulties may be.
Mr Stanley has stated on a number of occasions, both in the House of Commons and to deputations which have waited upon him on the subject of Anglo-Russian trade, that the whole matter was under review by his department, which did not regard the results of the last agreement as satisfactory.
The small use made of British shipping and the tendency for Russia to take re-exports from Britain rather than goods of British origin are among matters which have been under criticism here.
