Britain in the end will be tho loser by the Russian export em- bargo
This threat is Implied in exclusive Bigned statement by M. Litvinoff to Reuter, expounding the Soviet trade policy.
Litvinoll's
statement Mr. stresses the Soviet's elasticity in Imports, which are capable not only of the widest expansion, but of contraction without reducing the tempo of Soviot construction.
The statement says that coun- tries which might compel the Soviet to reduce imports will expose them- selves to greater loss because the roduction will re-nct adversely on the trend of the general world crisis.
On the other hand, under cer- tain conditions, the Soviet, will be capable in the near future of reduc ing the world reserves of certain metals by 30 to 40 cent and could even absorb world reserves up to 100 per cent.-Reuter.
