Paris, April 16, Genoa reports are that while recognising pre-war debts, the Soviets, by a simple process of submitting & counter-claim, not only wipe out the amount but show the Allies to be the debtors. This astounding claim was submitted by Litvinoff at the first meeting of the Russian and Allied experts. The claim is based on damages alleged to have been sustained in consequence of anti-Soviet expedi- tions supported by the Allies, also the loss of Bessarabia, aggregate ing difty millards of gold roubles. Subsequently Litvinoff expressed readiness to make etncessions. When the matter was later discussed. the Allied delegates and Mr. Lloyd George told the Russians the claim was excessive, inadmistable and century to all notions justice. They asked the Soviet representatives if they had come all the way to Genea to spring this surprise. They repudiated the Allies" responsibility in connection with the claim,

Mr. Lloyd George finally indicated the questions whereanent it was possible the Allies might make concessions, and said that if the Soviet's reply was unequivocal the Allies would adhere to the terma of the London experts' report, providing for a moratorium regarding the Russians' debts. He affirmed that if the reply was unfavourable, the Conference would have no further object for Russia.

Ager M. Chicherin had replied somewhat irreconcilably, the Russians withdrew. The Allies deliberated, and it is understood they will asist en a defnite reply regarding acceptance of the Cannes resolations, after time given to communicate with Moscow.
