The Hague, July S

Krassin's arrival would result in the acceleration of busrees, but matters are no further advanced as the result of the prolonged sessions of the Debt and Private Property Sub-Commissions, at which the Russians were obdurate, insisting en'a grant of credits before they could definitely reply regarding payment of debts which Russia might acknowledge.
There was a perfect thrust and parry, question and answer in the Property Sub-Commission betweer non-Russians and Russians, particularly wher M.

Regarding the| way in which the bank's affaire have been conducted by its Paris directorate," the rapers of the Right suggest an elaborate political and financial scandal, which must eventually be brought to light, The corruption of the deputies is hinted at, and the word "Panama" whispered but drubtless, it is necessary to discount some of the suggestions as belonging to the violent party warfare, which the French carry into such matters with a lack of reticence which is really fundamentally healthy, but revertheless must be recognised **more or less a direct attempt in the making to involve, not only M. Briand but even M. Millerand, who each when Premier loyally supported M. Barthelot.
