LONDON, May 15.

A communique from to-day's plenary, meeting of the Anglo-Soviet Conference states that the British, have excluded from the scope of the Conference peace treaties in which other countries were co-signatories without consulting the latter. Questions were discussed concerning claims by ́British subjects in Russia since the revolution and inter-governmental claims in which a divergence of opinion resulted. The conference adjourned to afford the Soviet representatives an opportunity of studying the British proposals. The Conference, will be resumed on June 2-Reuter.

MOSCOW, May 15. Russian ireports for April are valued at 3175 million gold' roubles and exports at 12 million.

M. Kamene at the Communist Party Con-

ference anticipated a favourable issue of the Anglo Soviet conference In such case, if credits were given part ortlers might be placed with England. It had been stated that private capital in South Russia governed 83 per cent, of retall trade and 50 per cent, wholesale." This percentage was too large; the State should be masters in bome markets.
