understood this will be the first actual loan to be narranged be tween London and Moscow. Receipts of the loan will be used primarily to purchase goods in the British market.

At the same time, the British government is opening negotia- tions to draw Russin into the London Naval pact, already signed by the United States, Britain and France. The treaty, while not limiting the number of ships-except heavy cruisers which a nation may build, does restrict the tonnage of individual vessels. More, it provides for a full and frank exchange of information between the powers as to their yearly building programmes.
