VIEW ON U. S, RECOGNITION OF REDS CHANGING Far Eastern Trouble May Alter American Policy on Russia. BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD Fnit.d Pr.* Staff Corrnpondent WASHINGTON, March 14.—Possibility that the present far eastern trouble may alter America’s recognition policy toward Soviet Russia is being discussed in some quarters here. So far, it. authoritatively is learned, the administration has paid no heed to the argument that the United States should strengthen Russia, and thus promote a balance of power in the tar Pacific by recognizing the Soviet state. U. S. Stand Is Commended Yet the government has become aware of a more friendly feeling toward it by the Russian press which may, or may not, lead eventually to restoration of normal relations. Russian press comment reaching Washington is appreciative, sincerely, but somewhat grudgingly, of *he attitude the United States has taken toward Japan's adventure in Manchuria. Russia, too, has an interest in China's “three eastern provinces,” and, naturally, welcomes the restraint the western powers have tried to place on Japan. The attitude of the Russian press is considered significant in that, it, of necessity, reflects the etttitude of the Kremlin. IT. S. Anxious to Be Friendly Tt. may be said on high authority that, the United States is anxious to restore friendly relations with Russia. The feeling that the Soviet state was a bogey to be shunned, which penetrated the state department during the Hughes and Kellogg regimes, is gone. Concurrently, those in authority have noticed a diminution in the public chorus of opposition to Russian recognition.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TIRE INDUSTRY. HARD HIT, SEES HOPEJIEVIVING Forces Reorganized in Akron Plant to Prepare for Depression End. Thi* is the first of two articles dealin* with the condition of the rubber industry, principal paymaster of the City of Akron. By Unitrnl Press AKRON, 0., March 14.—The tire industry, like other branches of industrial enterprise, is marking time, anxiously waiting for the depression to end Haggard from two years of shrinking revenues, the industry that furnishes the “rubber city” with most of its bread and butter, has reorganized its forces and geared its equipment in preparation for immediate production at a capacity basis. . In the peak production years of 1927 and 1928, the rubber industry employed between 45,000 and 48,000 Akronites. The factories of Firestone, Goodyear, General, Seiberling, Goodrich, India and others were busy twenty-four hours a day. Wages Are Cut Then came the depression. Wages were reduced. Manufacturers turned to the “stagger” system in order to spread what employment there was among the greatest possible number of workers. The tire industry was among the first to adopt this policy. At present, it is estimated, between 30,000 and 35,000 workers are engaged in short shifts, with plants operating at less than 60 per cent of capacity production. Sweeping price reductions have added to the general distress. The wave of price cutting, designed to stimulate sales, has progressed over a period of two years, but now is showing some signs of abatement. Big Firms Suffer But despite their plight, the major companies seem to be weathering the storm. By virtue of more economical
