FRENCH RELATIONS WITH THE SOVIET.
Movement in Favour of Resuming Trade.
Paris, October 15. The Press is devoting considerable attention to the possibility of resuming trade relations with Russia. M. Herriot, the Mayor of foss and a prominent politician, who has returned from his visit to Kussia, declared that he hoped the visit would yield practical re sults. He expressed the conviction that evolution was taking place at Moscow, the first result of which would be to enable European States to resume their relations with the Soviets.
M. Herriot is expected unofficially to present a statement to M. Poincare.
-
M. Rozer, President of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, inter. viewed, stated that the proposal of the Marseilles Chamber of Corn merce that steps should be taken to further the resumption of com- mercial relations would be favourably received by industrial and commercial firms throughout the country, who were anxious to see trade with Russia develop. He advocated the despatch of delegates to Rossia to act as piservers with a view to the conclusion of au agreement.
