BRITISH SUBMARINE SINKS GERMAN TROOPSHIP
-
THERE was a morning when hard-boiled eggs cast a gloom through the 640-ton British submarine Sturgeon--but that is another story. The torpedoing of a 10,000-ton Nazi transport provided the day's main news item.
Within a few minutes the German ship was `ablaze and soon afterwards she sank.
The exploit was revealed in an Admiralty communique. It happened off North Denmark on the evening of September 2.
Early in the month Stockholm, had some extraordinarlly hard-bolled reports had told of the sinking eggs for breakfast,

BRI OFFER TO RUSSIA
-Reply Awaited
It is understood that no answer has yet been re- ceived from the Russian Government to the British proposal made to Mr. Maisky, the Russian Am- bassador, days a London correspondent. ¿'
Mr Maisky was entertalned to lunch by Lord Halifax, after which a conference took place at the Foreign Office about the new status of Lithuanin. Esthonia. and Latvia resulting from their Incorporation in the U.S.S.R.
Lord Halifax's proposal is understood to have been that the Russian Government should pre- cisely assess the amount of its claims against the British Gov- ernment for gold (amounting to about £4,000,000) and ships (some twenty-five to thirty) formerly belonging to the Baltic States now held by Britain, and that the British claim for invest- ments, loans, and other property in the Baltic States be placed against them.,
It is understood to be the Brilish revised estimate that such British loans amount to some £5,500,000. Mr Maisky has transmitted the pro- posal to Moscow and is waiting for the answer.
Too High?
There is some ground for the ex- pectation that the Russian Govern- ment will be disappointed that the Eritish claims are put so high, the more so as the initial fentalive and, estimate was substantially smaller.

But until the Moscow answer is recalved there is no ground for con- Jecture about the possiblity of com- promise. Tuesday's negotiations were, at any rate, conducted in a friendly spirit on both sides.
