The Anglo-Soviet Debts and Claims Committee, which held its third meeting to-day, issued- the following communique :—“As 'unauthoritative statements hare appeared in some newspapers, the committee states that at its second meeting the Soviet delegation submitted a list of its claims under general headings, gave an explanation of these claims, and answered questions put to them by British experts regarding the distribution of these claims among the respective subcommittees. The British delegation submitted its general list. “The third meeting devoted its attention to comparing these two lists in order to formulate the exact scope of the work of sub-committees. It was suggested that a fifth sub-committee should be formed, to which should be submitted Soviet claims for compensation for remissions to the State and national economy of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, arising out of the intervention of Great Britain in Russia during the civil war.”
