REPORT OF
CZECH TROOPS TAKING
GOLD AND OTHER ORES


TOXIC, May 2S.-The Czeeho-Slo-
wax Minister in Toxic. Karel Pergfer,
has refuted the report that the Czech
troops leaving Siberia by the Presi-
dent Grant were taking hundreds OF
tons of gold, silver, copper, machin-
cry, sugar and other loot AIR lPerg-
Ter said: THE fact is that whatever
the Czecho-Slov ks are carrying away
from Siberia, in this case on an Am
erican transport, is their own prop
erty purchased with their own money.
1.-THE Czecho-Slovaks have been in
Siberia for a long time. These SOL
diers are educated men. many OF them
university graduates or intelligent ar
tbs rs end craftsmen. AS soldiers
they were allotted a certain amount OF
pay. Instead of spending their pay
they pooled their financial resources
and founded large trading company
and. also bank. the Bank OF the
Czecho-Slovak Legionaries. These re-
sources were increased under Rus
sian conditions because the pay was
HAtu iIdlCSs nut poAo III
equivalent of French currency. These
institutions bought considerable sup
plies and it is these supplies which
are now being transported to the re-
public.
1.-THE men were especially anxious
to buy cotton which is needed for our
textile industry and their purchases
became so extensive that last October
the Russian economist advocated a
Limitation of Czech purchases of cot
ton in Siberia thus incidentally prov
ing that we are dealing with legiti-
mate trade, based upon the ordinary
methods of sale and purchase.
what Czecho soldiers do with their
income, meagre as it is, is best illus
trated by the fact that in 1918 they
subscribed almost 100000 francs to
a loan infatuated by the CzechoSlovak
National Council for the purpose OF
supporting this very army"
