Russia suffers too many zeros In her currency. The ruble has depreciated about 15/100 times. We must cut off the zeros of our money. That will require several years to accomplish. First there must be peace. WASHINGTON VAN DEBUCP WELCOMED IN RUSSIA. “Your American university technical engineers wil be very welcome iu Russia two -or three years from now, but conditions at the present time are such that It Is difficult for foreigners, so we must depend upon Russians. Your American factories in. Russia —the International Harvester and the Westlnghoue*—were nationalized. But now they are operating as American factories. “It Is unnecessary for salesmen and purchasing agents to come to Russia, We find a better market and more competition in buying and selling in such places as Berlin, where the purchasing agent has full powers. But serious-minded business men, working on a great scale, such as Washington D. Vanderllp, are welcome in Russia.”—Copyright, 1921, by International News Serrice.
