HAND OF FRIENDSHIP.
RUSSIA CAJOLES BRITAIN. LOAN A FOUNDATION. <By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON", October 21. A message from Moscow states that at a meeting of the executive of the Union of Soviet Republics, Tchiteherin, | the chairman-of the Third Internationale, stated that- in negotiating with the British Prime Minister (Mr. Ramsay MaeDonald) the Soviet was pursuing an object greater than the treaty. It was a question of entering upon an era of -political friendship. The proposed loan would serve as the foundation for a great Entente with Britain. Tchiteherin dwelt on" the economic importance to Britain of the treaty and the loan for Russia. He said a large portion of the loan would . return to Britain in the form of orders for British goods. Russia's economic life would be revived and a British market would be guaranteed for Russian raw materials, and vice-versa. Disputes with regard to the territorial limits in northern waters would cease, and a number of international political questions would be solved. With regard to the recognition of Russia by France, Tchiteherin said Russia would only accept complete and unconditional recognition. It must include an exchange of Ambassadors and cover the whole territory of -the Soviet Union. In conclusion, Tchiteherin denied reports of the possible entry of Russia into the League of Nations.—(Reuter.) I
