A.MERICAN VISIT TO RUSSIA.

Fifty American business men are expected to compose the delegation which the American-Russian Chamber of Com- merce has organized "to visit Russia this summer. Much in the same way as the recent British delegation to Russia, these American business men are not contemplating the actual direct negotiation of business contracts during their visit. Their purpose is rather to acquaint themselves with social and economic conditions in Russia, so that the visitors may describe what they see and the opinions they form for the benefit of business people generally. The Soviet Government is co-operating in making arrangements for the delegation. The itinerary includes journeys to Moscow, Leningrad, the Volga River, the Donetz coal and steel regions, the Caucasus and the Ukraine. The delegation will leave Berlin on July 15th, and return a month later. The American. Russian Chamber was reorganized to promote trade between the two countries.
