INITIATION IN RUSSIA
Government Presses Turn Out Three
Billions Paper Money Monthly.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Moscow, July 5.-The amount of
paper money issued by the Bolshevik
government and now in circulation
aggregates 10000. 5000 rubles. Since
the declal alton by Premier Lenine a
month ago that new money would be
issued and the old money devalued.
plans for financial reform apparently
have lain dormant, as no steps have
been announced to provide the in
direct taxation recommended by
Lenine, and the money presses are
still turning out paper at the rate OF
three billion rubles monthly.
Bank .ssets Thirty Billion.
A statement of the financial depart
ment published in the Izvestia says
the latest reports show that the assets
of nationalized and private banks ag-
gregate thirty billion rub1es. Com
of money the statement says the de-
partment believes devaluation can be
accomplished only as it is done in Aus
tria, that is, without gold exchange. as
metallic devaluation pre-supposos the
preliminary establishment of a rate of
exchange.
Oppose Foreign Credit Institutions.
The finance department officials in
discussing their attitude toward for
eign credit in Russia and the nation
aIization of foreign banks say they ia
vor the greatest possible limitation of
the sphere of action of foreign credit
institutions in Russia. The govern
ment's financial program probably will
be considered by the all-Russian con-
gress of soviets at the coming meeting
