To open a market to US exports. FDR recognized the USSR (a recognition of a de facto state of affairs as, by the 1930s, there was no serious opposition to the government of the USSR) in 1933. By 1935-36, 25 percent of ALL US exports are going to the USSR (figure courtesy of the US Statistical Abstracts for the years 1935 and 1936, available at most major public libraries). Without these exports, economic distress in the USA would have been even worse than it was during this period.
