which is the "greatest failure In all history ,
anil an experiment which Is not new but
has met with signal failure every time
it Ins been tried." I think it would b?
a grievous mistake and a stultifying
crime for a Government to enter into
trade relations with the Bolshevik Oov

restore sound peace relationships with
our late allies.

i making trade agreements with any
1 Power. It appears to me that we have
