Findley Seeks More Liberal Trade Terms with Soviets
United States congressman Paul Findley urged liberalizing credit terms for Soviet farm purchases after leading an Illinois agricultural trade mission to Russia. He spoke at a news conference in Washington about boosting U S farm exports, noting Russia could become a substantial buyer of grains and soybeans if weather cooperates and implying more exporters, including cooperatives, should share Soviet business. He dismissed criticism of U S policy over the wheat deal and cited Soviet officials preferring known suppliers as a key reason Continental Grain Co. won biggest orders last summer.
