the Bolshevik government of Russia
would inevitably be overthrow and
that new Russian government would,
first of all, take steps to pay Russia's
foreign debt, was expressed by DR..
David Soskice at recent meeting of

immense amount of capital to recon-
struct the great Industrial and agri-
cultural fabric of Russia Russia, he
said, can only find that capital in Eng
land and America.
G. Birch Crisp, banker said he be-
lieved the majority of the people OF
Russia would embrace the first oppor-
tunity to set themselves right with
the rest of the civilized world.
! The chairman of the meeting said il
was nost impossible to ascertain
the amount of Russia's debt. Accord
ing to information received by thu
London stock exchange, it amounted
on January 1, 1917, to about 1888,
100000.
