(AtIITRAUAN - NEW ZEALAND CAILB ASSOCIATION.) THE HAGUE, 6th July. M. Hokolokoff, the Soviet Finance Minister, addressing journalists, launched a fiery attack on a certain delegation, which he said was trying sabotage at the Conference. Unlike the Russians, he said, they were not here in the hope of reaching an agreement, but had the secret hope that they could see all bridges destroyed" between the Soviet and the rest of the world. "Even if we have no credits the Soviet will not perish, but the hopes and expectations of all holders of Russian securities and of property in Russia may perish. We are willing to make certain concessions on condition that we get credits."
