SOVIET’S TRADE POLICY
CHANGES FORESHADOWED TROUBLE WITH PEASANTS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 30. (Received January 31, at 1 a.m.) The Moscow correspondent of the * Daily Express ’ reports that a reshuffling of the posts in the Cabinet is expected, foreshadowing far-reaching changes in the Soviet’s trade policy. The collection of grain from the peasants is still a failure, the mass of the peasants refusing to sell wheat at the price the State offers, despite coercive measures, including the imprisoning of the richer peasants. As the boycott is causing a goods famine a new department will be created for the purpose of buying stocks of cheap manufactures abroad, which will be offered to peasants in the corn belts at most reasonable prices. M. Sokolnikoff is likely to have charge of the new department, which will bo merged in the Trade Comissariat.
