FRENCHSEK PACT
FR HSOVIE 9TAD
Industrialists Press for Change
in Trade Agreements
With Russia.1
PARIS, June 3.-()-Pressure
from industrialists, who are said
to be suffering as a result of recent
trade treaties' between Russia and
Italy and Russia and Germany, is
given in official circles as the basis
for a French desire to negotiate a
business pact with the Soviet gov-
ernment. The foreign office said to-
day that a Russian delegation will
arrivFlhere within a few days, pre-
sumably empowered to negotiate.
such an agreement.
It was revealed that this same
Soviet group visited the French
capitol shortly after Germany con-
cluded her trade treaty with Mos-
cow. After secret conversation, the
delegation returned to Russia, os-
tensibly with proposals for such an
agreemen.
It is shown that Franco-Russian
trade favors the latter country as
in the first three months of this
year France imported approximate-
ly $4,440,000 worth of goods from
Russia and exported only about
$680,000. France buys principally
oil and wood from the Soviet Union.
These figures are considerably be-
low those of last year, the down
trend being attributed to France's
institution of the license system last
October and to Russia's treaties
with Germany and Italy.

led the field with that 72 until

professional, came bustling, in to
tie him .anid then W. T. (Billie')
Twince, the tall young pro from
Bromley, Kent, sauntered in with
the late starters to make the lead
three-cornered.
Farrell carried snugly in his
pocket the rabbit's foot that ac-
companied Jess Sweetser to victory
in the British amateur champion-
ship at Muirfield in 1926, where Big
Jess played around in figures con-
siderably below the influenza fever
he was running.
The rabbit's foot might have had
something to do with Johnny's
score today, but most observers
would say it'was his fine shots from
the tee, his crisp iron work through
the fairways and around the greens
and his magic putting touch that
counted most.
