A treaty between Italy and the Soviet has been signed, renewing commercial relations between the two countries, which have been at a standstill since 1936.

The figures were:—lmports, £121,000,000, compared with £151,000.000; exports. £88,000,000, as against £87,000,000. The adverse trade balance has been reduced.
