NOT LIABLE FOR
 EMPIRES DEBTS

London, June IS - Soviet Russia does not recognize it's liability for debts contracted by Russia up to No- vember, 1917, and if compelled to meet them will have various offsets. says the Times in reporting conversa- tions between British ministers and Gregory Krassin, Russian Bolsh evikl minister for trade and commerce.
 Krassin intimated that if circum- stances should make it desirable for the Soviet government to accept such debts it would insist upon inheriting the reports secured to Russia by former treaties. He laid emphasis on the convention of 1915 which award ed Constantinople to Russia.
 If Soviet Russia was compelled to bear the burden of the debts of tha imperial regime, Krassin said, i; would insist on writing off against that debt charges incurred in over- coming the attacks of white rebels," insofar as such attacks were support ed by foreign powers.
