Or. Howell last night that Mr.. Brady
went to the New York Hospital suffer-
ing with kidney stones before he went

The amendments proposed by Kras

Krassine contends these should not be
included in the agreement. The guar
antees were that the Bolshviki should
not undertake TO conduct any propa
ganda within the British Empire that

Russia must be released and that Rus
sla recognize all private debts contracts
