Friday, Choice . 1 1 ' n tt n s it- Within walls built high by years of war and revolution, behind doors close-guarded by Trotzky's soldiers, the Russian treasure-house awaits the adventurer with the key of gold. "In the south there are millions d bushels of wheat awaiting export, and oil wells have been running unchecked so long that they have had to fcak them up and form lakes of oil." "There is 1,000,000 worth of timber lying at Archangel and other ports on the "White Sea." The Si-' berian seaboard contains "probably the world's greatest undeveloped coal and oil deposits, with the fishing off coast equal to that of Alaska." ' While it is all very well, agree some American editors, for the Soviet Government to open the doors of the Muscovite treasure-house, what if the treasure-house is empty? And, referring to the British trade agreement with Soviet Russia, recently announced . by Premier Lloyd George, the New York Tribune declares that "to take Lenine and his system into fellow ship is to abandon those in Russia who fought for civilization and democratic ideals." .Facts that will awaken mingled feelings of wonder, resentment, and satisfaction are presented in the striking article in this week's number of THE LITERARY DIGEST, December 4th. It reflects the opinion of the American press upon Lloyd George's propdsal to resume trade relations with Russia. y .
