exhausted. However, the 'bolsheviki
still possess gold from two sources:
First, the production Of the Ural mines,
which in the past four years have

Of jewelry from private individuals. The
figures on this are kept secret. Recent
information indicates that the total
about $10.000.000.
Having thus secured credits abroad
and placed huge bank balances at the
disposition of his commercial missions,
Lenin is now pushing the second phase
of his campaign. His agents are fe-
verishly collecting bids on commodities
in many countries. but these are gath
cred and approved in London. There
is permanent soviet commercial agent
in Paris and the city is occasionally
visited by a political agent.
The CONNIE ercial agent Is described
ence Is winked at by the government.
He possesses large balances in the
Paris hanks and offers cash. payments.
He hAs had much correspondence with
French firms. but has secured few
contracts because Germany generally
already considerable. NJ. Krassin's
figures for the first eight months of
the present year show importations
from England valued at 10000, 900, or
about quarter of the pre.war aver
age. allowing for the higher prices.
England had 80. Germany IS and the
United States 1S per cent Of the total.
Reeoubling Their Efforts. a.
Cotemporaneously the bolsheviki
are -redoubling their efforts to grant
foreign concessions on advantageous
terms. They try to force corporations
in various 9ations to bid against EACH
other. One of the chief causes of the
foreigners hesitation has been the
natural fear that the concessions
would be valueless if the soviets were
overthrown.
am informed that the newly organ
lied "Deutschland-New York corpora
tion" has eliminated this risk by the
simple method Of buying from penni-
less RussiRn refugees at a trifling
price stocks and bonds Of the factories
for which they are obtaining con-
cession from the soviets, thus pro-
tecting. themselves both ways. These
factories are the famous Putilon iron
and steel mills, the Koltchke metal
factories and the thread factories of
Neva and Petrograd. The corporation
has acquired practically all the stock.
and the preliminary agreement with
the soviets is considered satisfactory.
One typical condition is that the
thread must be sold at IS per cent
under the world market price. It is
believed that other corporations will
attempt to use this method. Another
method is that Of the French Com
pagnie Generate des Telegraphes du
Nord which has just concluded with
the soviets an extension for twenty
five years Of its concession originally
granted by the cars government.
