TRADE AGREEMENT
KRASSIN URGES HASTE
BIG ORDERS CAN BE PLACED,
(SIBtIR'S TSLSORAU.) LONDON, 7th, October. Krassin, in a letter to Mr. Lloyd George, details at great length Russia's requirements in manufactured goods and raw materials, and urges the speediest completion of a trade agreement. He I points out that vast orders for locomoI tives and other railway materials, engineering machinery, tools, motor-lorries, electrical appliances, chemicals, medical supplies, and textiles could be placed in Britain. Apparently the Bolshevik efforts to finance the gold operation at Reval have failed, The Soviet no longer proposes to pay with gold lent to it, but promises to produce goods, the gold being merely deposited at Reval as security for a loan from the English banks, and only if goods are not forthcoming in a year could the gold at Reval be employed. This arrangement is not favoured by English financiers.
