ANGLO-SOVIET NEGOTIATIONS.

London, May 16,

Omeini eireles profess satisfaction at the progress of the Anglo- Soviet negotiations, and hopofulness of the successful outcome, notwithstanding a certain acerbity, which diplomatic correspondenta state was apparent several times during yesterday's conference, A communique reveals a divergence of opinion on the subject of Inter-governmental claims, which the British requested should be postponed on account the technical difficulties in the assessment. The Sovlet members, however, objected on the ground that the postpone ment would mean the shelving of the only claims they advanced, whereas Britain, was only shelving part of her claims. The British members also formally proposed that compensation be paid to dis- possossed British proprietors In Russia, The Soviet members promised to consider the proposal after pointing out the difficulties of evolving general formulae complicated by the difference between the British and Soviet social systems.-Reutor.
