MORE RUSSIAN TRUCULENCE.

Moscow, April 26,

The All-Russian Council of Trades Unions has issued a protest against the British bankers' memorandum, and declares that Russia cannot recognise the debts of the Tsarist and Kerensky Govern ments, which degrade Russians to the level of coolles,

They state: "If England gives us credits, we shall

repay moderate percentage, but private property will nover be returned to foreign owners. We shall forbid commercial negotiations between British bankers and private. Russian capitalists."

The above represents the extremist feeling, and is not neces- arily the opinion of the Government-Router.

London, April 25. The Russian Charge d'Affaires in London emphasises that the protest of the Council of Trada Unions must not be regarded me official, although It contains some points according to the views of the Government, but does not represent the policy of the Soviet in other respecte, and

Rakowaky states that hitherto, negotiations in London have gone very well, and good will has been shown. There has been no serious difference of opinion, and he believes that definite results. on some questions may be reached next week,
