Sapp, state lAsmocratio chairman, says he believe* now the American war debts should be cancelled and this country should begin trade relations with Russia. Before he made the trip, Sapp said, he held the opposite view on both questions. First hand observation, he explained, caused him to become a convert to the attitude on the two issues held by Tostmaster General Farley, a personal and political friend of his. The state (/Democratic chairman said he found a marked antipathy to America in the European countries he visited with the exception of England and he believed England was the only one that intended to pay any more on the war debts. "So, we might as well cancel the war debts," he said, adding he did not believe permanent prosperity will be achieved unjil this is dope. As for recognition of Russia he said that country had been under its present form of government for 12 or 14 years and "if they are satisfied with it, there is no reason why we should seek to change it." The United States, he said, is losing a largemarket for goods that could be sold to Russia.
