KRASSIN CONTEMPTUOUS.
SOVIET REPUDIATION
(Received 11.50 a.m.) LONDON, June 15
The Cabinet and Krassin discussed the Russian Government's debts contracted to 1917. Krassin completely denied liability, and intimated that if force of circumstances compelled acceptance of liability the Soviet Government would insist, as a count erbalancing factor, upon inheriting such rights as were given to Russia under former treaties, even if the treaties were secret, including the cession of Constantinople to Russia under the Treaty of London in 1915. Furthermore, it would write off the charges incurred in overcoming the 'attacks of white rebels, if they were financed and supported by any foreign power, together with the cost of repairing damages incurred in these campaigns.—"Times."
