(PUBLISHED IN THE TIMES.)
LONDON, 20th May.
The Riga correspondent of "The Times" says that a recent sitting of the Pan-Soviet Congress was devoted to discussing finance and the Red Army, two questions on which, according to the speakers, the continuance of the Soviet regime depends.
The Finance Commissar, M. Sokolnizoff, after declaring that the Soviet finances were generally satisfactory said that, notwithstanding the importance of foreign loans, experiences had shown that they could manage without them. He added that the Government had removed gold reserves amounting to fifteen millions sterling from Britain and other countries.
The War Commissar, M. Frunze, asserted that under Britain's malign influence a, movement was being started in Europe for a moral and financial boycott of the Soviet Republics.
