SOVIET REBUKE.
Interference of Governments in Trade. LIBERATION' OF CITIZENS. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received April 24, 10.30 a.m.) MOSCOW, April 23. M. Litvinoff, in a statement concerning the Soviet’s external trade policy, says it is based on
the same firm foundation as formerly. It includes an absence of political upheavals between trading countries as a condition of the stability of trade relations, and the subjection of foreigners to the jurisdiction of the countries in which they are resident. The
Soviet never used its monopoly of foreign trade for political ends. The statement concludes: “Neither trade development nor stability is possible if the slightest friction or political clash between Governments may at any time dislocate trade, or if Governments assume the right to liberate their citizens or commercial enterprises from engagements contracted in commercial agreements and treaties. Such measures hardly appear as due preparation for the World Economic Conference, one of the problems of which is to regulate and return to normal foreign trade on a world scale.
