AMERICAN ENGINEERS
WORK ON RUSSIAN MINES. A STRONG PROTEST. (United Press Association.) 'By Electric Telegraph--Copyright.) LONDON, December 12. (Received Dec. 13, at 1.40 a.m.) A strong protest against the importation of American engineers to Russia for work on confiscated mining properties, built up by pre-war British capital and directed by British management, was made by Mr Leslie Urquhart, chairman of the Anglo-Asiatic Consolidated, Ltd., and founder of the enterprise. He states that Americans of good professional standing are engaged for their own personal profit, and are exploiting stolen property. He adds that this is diametrically opposed to the attitude of_ the most powerful American mining interests, who have consistently refused to have any association with the Soviet.
