SOVIET LIABILITIES
PLAN TO CIRCUMVENT GOODS FROM ABROAD ALLEGATION OF DEFECTS FULL PAYMENT REFUSED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received March 28, 5.25 p.m.) Times Cable LONDON, March 27 Tho Riga correspondent of tho Times states that the Soviet is employing various devices to diminish and circumvent its foreign liabilities. The Commissariat of Heavy Industry has publicly charged nine German steel firms with delivering defective goods at a cost of £4,500,000 in 1932. Therefore, it says, they must not expect full payment. Similar claims are indicated against American and Italian firms. Quarrels among leaders of the Communists have resulted in the Stalin group declaring that their opponents are fomenting sabotage in order to undermine Stalin's system. Newspapers, in inspired articles, demand that wreckers be mercilessly brought to justice. They forecast another "heresy hunt."
