LONDON MAN'S ENCOUNTER WITH KRASSIN'S MISSION.
Among the visitors to M. Krassin has been a Londen business man, who wished to subject the Soviet view of commercial relations to a practical test. He had a excellent instrument to his hand in the shape of Russian notes with a face value of a few thousand roubles, says the Times-
These came into his possession when he WALD prisoner in Russia. He had been imprisoned for' A considerable period, though he had taken no political or mill tary action against the Bolshevists. certain sum of English money was taken. from him and two. companions by high re presentatives of the Soviet Government, rouble and Soviet notes being left with him in exchange. Eitherto he had regarded them as waste paper, but on the arrival of M. Krassin was struck by the possibility of their serving a better purpose than waste paper often does

I was down, b HALYN, 20 the First Avende Hotel, thinking that a mission which-could-pay-for board and lodging there and hire a fat in Curzon-Street might be presumed to have suficient money to square accounts over my notes,
The first person my eye rested on when 1 en- tered the hotel was a woman, whom I res cognized as an agent of the Tcheresyaika Commision-etherwise the Coninission for the Prosecution of Counter-Revolutiona ing and Baudit the bandits have been added Intely. I was shown into one of the rooms of Krassin's suite. The woman followed me, sat down in na armchair, and fixed ber eyes'n me..
A secretary came to ask my business, which I said was with M. Krassin M Krassin, it appeared, was very busy, Nevertheless I persisted that I must see bim. Had I card] No, but be could take in my name. He did Probably was known to him. Do bis return he ex- plained that M. Krassin was still very busy, but he himself was empowered to bisten to anything I had to say. I said it, with the result that he promised M. Krassin should communicate with me in writing. As I put on my hat, I told the secretary that I would give M. Krassin 24 buari, and if I did not hear from him in that time. I would be on his doorstep again.

dozen times. The second secretary was more vehement than the other. When 1

my note, he cried out "We are Sun, not here to do business of that kind. You must take them to Litvinoff."
"Yes," I said, and Litvinaff will sead me to someone else and that someone ING. will advise me to go to Heaven knows who."
Well he exclaimed, shrugging his shoulders.
How do you expect to be trusted in British commercial circles," I went on, if this is your idea of doing business? Any group of white men attempting to form themselves into a Government will take care to recognize the financial obliga tions they have created. Your people have printed all kinds of paper "money and forced it by rifles and bayonets on the poor beggars who have fallen into their grip. Now you are unwilling to acknowledge it as a bond. How can you be trusted in any financial or commercial transaction whatever."
Then he shouted, and I shouted and came away without saying good-bye..
The Times' informagh adds that, in spite of his own words to the secretary, he saw | and heard enough during these two visits to convince him that many offers to trade are being received by M. Krassin from British merchant and foreigners doing business in the British Isles.
A PROHIBITED VIEW. STORM IN THE TANGIER TEACUP,
The Timer Tangier correspondent wrote. ‚ou June 10th :-)
It appears that a few days ago some Frenchmen seated in a local cafe overlook- ing the sea expressed too loudly their conviction that the strip of Spanish const visible serosa the Straits of Gibraltar was almost uninhabited, quite uncultivated, and "barren.
The remark was overbeard and reported, with the result that Spanish local opinion is agreed that under no existing treaty can French residents of Tangier claim to have any right whatever to inspect the Spanish coast, and that even if they are not pro hibited from doing by any of the many Acta, agreements, and arrangements with regard to aforocco, good manners alone demand that this undue inquisitiveness, he avoided. As "almost the only attractive local view is-seawards, and it is impossible Spain, the French have retorted that if the Spaniards are desirous that their coast "should-be umperceived they had better re-

Unfortunately, it is difficult for Great Britain to make conciliatory suggestions in order to soothe, outraged sentimente, as Gibraltar is also in view of Tangier, and, to mention, Gibraltar now-a-days gives ris to an expression of feelings which can only blikened to a display of fireworks. In the interests of public peace the approaching sutnmor season to to be welcomed, for,{" during the hot weather thick white fog often obliterates for days together these dis turbing "protuberances, of the European continent.
