RUSSIAN ACTIVITY LITVINOFF BUSY IN LONDON EMBARGO MAY BE LIFTED (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.30 p.m.) London, June 26. The Daily Express says that M. Litvinoff, a tireless negotiator, is finding the Economic Conference just the opportunity needed to make commercial contracts which alone will save the Soviet State structure. Already M. Litvinoff has made tentative arrangements for - a £25,000,000 deal in Russian oil with an Anglo-Continental group and for the purchase of £15,000,000 worth of non-ferrous metals on credit from a Franco-American syndicate. Two obstacles which must be first surmounted are recognition of the Soviet Government by the United States, which is likely to be granted next month, and the lifting of the British embargo, which M. Litvinoff may secure when he meets Sir John Simon to-day.
During the week-end M. Litvinoff had a meeting with M. Titulescu (Rumania) regarding Bessarabia, on which Moscow has never ceased to cast longing eyes.
