Gently exchanged between Britain and

Earl Curzon' points out that he pre-
viously sent communication regard
ing submarine launched in the
Black Sea, in which he said that in
view OF repeated declarations of lead
Ing members Of the Soviet that their
government considered itself in a
state OF war with Great Britain and in

Asks Compensation ....
Earl CurzOn also demanded COM
pensation for the widow and son of

alleged to have been murdered in
cold blood with no charge preferred
against" by the Soviet authorities in
January last
Yesterday Earl Curzon sent re-
ply to NJ. Krassin's note Of Oct. s.
i'm which the British foreign secre.
tary says some of krassin's points
are trivial and far-fetched based on
erroneous information or widely re-
moved from the facts He points out
that Great Britain, more than any
other power, has sought to bring
about peace between Soviet Russia
and Poland and has only been call
ed upon to stand by it's treaty en-
gagements to its allies by the bad
faith which characterized both mil
itary and diplomatic movements of
the Soviet authorities"
Concerning the use of Dang for
the transmission of munitions, Earl
CurZon asserts this was an obliga-
ton imposed upon the allies by the
treaty Of Versailles. Should Great
Britain give to General Wrangel the
kind of assistance indicated in the
Russian reply, he said, the position
of southern Russia would be differ
ent from what it is at present.
He charged the Soviet with trif-
ling with the question of the return

ing troops to Persia in open viola
ton of its promises.
Military Conspiracy
Earl CurzOn also charges the Soviet
with having engaged in a military
conspiracy which it assisted by the
of considerable numbers of
Bolshevik troops to operate with the
Turkish nationalist party in Asia Mi
nor. The movement Ostensibly being
directed against British interests:
with threatening an invasion of KhOr-
rassan, in Persia on the Russian
Trans Caspian border; with having
created great organization in fash
kent. for marshalling the forces Of
central Asia in an attack on British
territory and British interests; with
having brought about a revolution in
Sokhara with the same object. and
with having maintained ENJOYS in At
ghanistan in an attempt to conclude
d treaty with the Amir openly aimed
at in citing tribal rising on the In
dian frontier.
The Soviet launched a tornado of
intrigu, and conspiracy
against British power in Asia, the for
eign secretary decla ares, and spent
large sums thereon. while Russian
were enjoying the hos
pitality of the British government
and were engaged in friendly negotia-
tons in London. This is a situation.
Earl CuHOn says, which must come
to an end if the trade negotiations
are to be concluded,
