them what to do in their own country He suggested it would be helpful if we had some direct contact business or other wise I came to the idea that maybe it is not bad to do business with them It helps not only the Jewish community I think it helps the relationship between East and West When you do business as they say you supply butter instead of guns The barriers between the two countries are considerable Laws differ western bankers are reluc tant to accept investments in the Soviet Union as collateral the whole concept of the market economy is puzzling to the Soviets Worst of all the
