BREAK WITH FRANCE?
LITVINOFF ON REACTION
GRAVE BLOW TO PEACE
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON, 16th September. The Soviet is alarmed by the prospect of a break with France, following tho break with Britain. M. Litvinoff, interviewed by tho British United.Press
of Moscow, declared: "The instigators of the anti-Soviet campaign in Prance must be regarded as the instigators of a world conflagration. Only naive or conscious tricksters believe that the campaign is directed against Eakovsky
. t, , (.oovigt Ambassador to France). It is a mere pretext ±or reactionaries to disrupt the debt settlement. The negotiation on this question was solved recently to tie satisfaction of both parties, through a scheme for the payment of sixty milLion gold francs yearly by the Soviet for the benefit of holders of worthless Russian paper. The scheme includes credits for Soviet orders to French faetones._ It is not mere chance that a campaign against the Soviet be&an in ±Tance two days after the settlement was reached. There can be no question or any agreement regarding claims for payments if diplomatic relations are worsened or ruptured. It is clear that tho break between Britain and Eussia was a merciless threat to peace. A break between Prance andtßussia would increase the dagger." ■*
