well informed Matin printed a sen.

Great Britain and Germany with

From an authoritative source Il IL
learned that there has existed for
several months an anglo German plan
for exploitation of Russia" said the
Matin. The British policy Is inspired
by two circumstances:
'First-England does not wish to
see Russia reconstructed into q DO

fore the war.
acknowledgement wishes to exploit
the Russian market for profit Of her
own industry.
Reconstruction of economic life
IN ruined Russia is q task too great
for England alone SO German aid
has been bought and the price paid
is Englands uncompromising ntti-
tude against Poland In the upper
Silesian issue.
Through her well Informed spy
system England Unanswered a split
between the moderates and the ex-

TO put Leonid Krassin, who is an
engineer and former employe Of
Hugo SHINES, at the head of a new
liberal government in Russia upon
the following conditions: Banishment
OF Leon Trotzky, Tchitcherin and
Zinoviev: the creation Of foreign
police force: capitalization of the
Russian red army; repatriation Of
Russian exiles. The exiled leaders
would have land granted to them in
the British colonies or south Amer
lea.
(Note--Although Krassin is a
trusted agent OF the soviet govern
ment the Matin said he is not a
Bolshevil.)
'Krassin would be premier OF a coali-
ton government designated by Eng
land. England would obligate herself
to send to Russia the following:
The necessary coal for industry
and transportation; railway rolling
stock and equipment; agricultural
supplies. There would be an ex.
change of huge concessions between
Germany and Russia. handled by
syndicates.

come under three zones. The Japan

Siberia, while England would take
Central Russia and Germany the
