SOVIET PROBLEMS.
FINANCE AND THE ARMY
LONDON, May 20. The Times's Riga correspondent says recent sittings of the Pan-Soviet-Congress were 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, Mr Sokolnikoff, after declaring that the Soviet finances were satisfactory, said notwithstanding the importance of foreign loans, experience had shown they could manage without them. He added flint the Government had removed its gold reserves, amounting to fifteen millions sterling from Britain and other countries. War Commissar Frunze assorted that under Britain’s malign influence a movement was being started in Europe for a moral and linaneial boycott of the Soviet Republics.—Times.
