Mr. MALONEasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether an agreement has been reached between the United States of America and the Soviet Republic of Russia in regard to the resumption of trading relations; and, if so, what are the terms of that agreement?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI understand that the United States Government have removed all restrictions on trade with Russia, the export of war material alone being exempted. Licences are required for the export of railway material. I have no knowledge of any agreement between the United States Government and the Soviet Government.
