With Final Word
On British Trade
More Definite Assurances
From Russia on End to
Propaganda i'll South I'm.
dertOod To Be Demanded

From The TrIbune's Europeaa Bureau
Copyright, 1921. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-Leonid Xrassin.
to Moscow this week, after his confer
ences with Sir Robert Horne, president
of the British Board of Trade, bearing
with him what officials term the last
word from the British government in
the negotiations for resumption of
trade between the two countries.
Among those in touch with the situa
ton in London the belief prevails that
Russia will accept the British terms,
with possible insistencc on some slight
notifications.
The main points unsettled relate to
the price of gold and to propaganda
The Soviets ask to be paid the world
market price instead of the Bank Of
England rate for gold shipped in pay
ment Of British goods exported to Rus
sia. 1t also demands protection against
attachment of goods or gold on ar
rival in Britain until peace is signed.
Britain asks that the terms of the
note Of June so shall be made more
specific in reference to the cessation
of Bclshevik propaganda in countries
south of the Caucasus. British Off
CldAS pSlleNe lndl economic COnQlllONs
in Russia are such that the rather un-
swerving position which prevailed
after the defeat Of Wrangel viii be
succeeded by one which they consider
more reasonable.
If the trade agreement is signed the
next step will be the dispatch OF
British trade agents to Russia and of
Russian agents to Britain. While the
business negotiations viii be carried
on through trade agents, officials are
careful to emphasize that such trans
actions do not involve diplomatic
recognition.
The Star this evening, in mentioning
that some trading already has been
done With Russia, says no contracts
actually were given TO Washington D.
Vanderlip by the 15aisheviki while he
was in Russia, but merely concessions
contingent on conclusion Of trade
agreement with the United States.
If the trade agreement now under
discussion is signed British merchants
and manufacturers will have an OPP
portunity to forestall American prod
