"UNPROMISING OUTLOOK AT THE HAGUE,
Soviet Equivocates Over Return of Private Property.
(Reuters Service. "
The Hague, July 10. The week has an unsatisfactory sallook. The principal dele gates spent the week-end examining the list of properties which the Russians are prepared to restore. The delegates agreed that the list was unsatisfactory, including only 10 per cent. of the total. It is now explained that Krassin's statement that 90 per cent of the properties of foreigners would be eventually returned is conditional upon the conclusion of an agreement with the Soviet regarding credits and is dependent upon direct individual negotiations between the owners and the Soviet. This condition is regarded by the Powers an inacceptable; simply meaning that the owners are left to the tender mercies of the Soviet.
Refusal to Recognise Bond Guarantees.
The Hague, July 10. There was much plain speaking at the meeting of the Credits Sub-Commission to-day. The Russians finally, in reply to direct question, insisted that they wanted credits granted to the Russian State, not to individuals, and they refused to recognise the guar antees inscribed on the face of the bords issued by the Russian Governments.
Concessions to Foreign Companies.
Ester.
Discussion by the Credits Sub-Commission in the nature of a general clearing-up elicited from M. Litvinoff the statement that several agreements had been practically concluded with foreign companies for concessions of agricultural land, in one case for 100,000 hectares. The Soviers intended to concede a total of 4,000,000! hectares.
M. Litvinoff further explained the transport programme, for which the Soriet is anxious to attract ospital, including 15,000 versta of new railway.
