GERMANY AND RUSSIA
j " The Times ” Service.] LONDON. December D). The Times's’’ Berlin correspondent says:—The Reichstag lias ratified the Soviet-German Trade Treaty, but this decision was due more to a desire to remove a iiolshevist-crcated impression that, as tin* result of the Locarno Pact Germany was embarking on a Western policy, than to any real approval of the treaty, which is generally condemned as being wholly one-sided, placing restrictions on Germans in Russia, from, which Russians in Germany are free, and not bridging the gap between the two countries’ judicial systems. Hut even the German Nationalists agree that these defects ought not to he allowed to obscure the treaty's political significance. “ Our opposition to Bolshevism remains as strong as ever,” said one Natioanlist speaker. “ but wo are convinced, especially in view of the I .ocarno Agreement, that Germany must maintain n free hand in regard to friendship with the Russian people.'"
