Lloyd George Declares
Red Stand Has Changed

LONDON, March % (By The Asso-
ciated Pressl. l.-Defending the govern
ment's trade agreement with Russia,
Premier Lloyd George declared in the
House of Commons to-day that a COM
plete change was evident in the at
titude of the Bolshevik government
toward what is called capitalism.
Indeed" he said, "some of Lenine's
speeches might very we'll have been
delivered by Mr.. Churchill himself"
The Russian Soviet Premier was be-
ginning to realize that trade was es~
sential, Mr.. Lloyd George continued;
that locomotives could not be patched
up with theories and that the original
Soviet theories were unworkable
The agreement, said the Premier,
was purely a trade agreement recog-
nizing the de facto government of Rus
sia, not treaty of peace Claims
against Russia with respect to loans
or for injuries to nationals had been
reserved for discussion, when there
would be a general settlement. In the
mean time, all claims were amply safe
guarded.
The Premier ridiculed the idea that
the trading community was opposed to
the agreement and asserted that every
prediction about Bolshevism coming to
an end had failed of realization. The
Bolsheviki were in as complete con-
troll IN vast Russia as any government
could be under present circumstances,

shipments without tracing them further
back than their Swedish origin.
Russian and American firms in
Stockholm already are hopeful that
many American deals held up by the
ban on Russian gold can now be ne
gotiated.
The first shipment Of gold of this
type for America, amounting to seven
tons, is reported to have gone forward
Sunday on board the Swedish steam
ship Carlsholm. About ninety tons
more are in Stockholm, having been
forwarded and restamped. This gold
is said to have been sold months ago,
subject to the possibility of its non
delivery. Some remaining stocks of the
metal are rapidly being taken UP by
Americans at the rate Of 1864 a kilo-
gram, delivered in Washington, or 2942
Swedish kroner at the present rate of
exchange.
AS most of the gold was bought by
Swedish bankers, they are making large
profits. The gold traffic, together with
the curtailment of credits, has resulted
in decline in American exchange
The English rate on gold exports
amounts to only 1862 kroner a kilo
gram, as compared with 2942 for Amer
ica. Gold exports to England, how
ever, are very small
According to reliable reports the
Bolshevik gold reserve totals only
100000 gold rubles.

1t Is believed that the Harding Ad-
ministration will be slow to make any
changes in the present status of COM
mercial relations under which Ameri-
can exporters are privileged to deal at
their own risk with Soviet Russia.
In connection with the attitude
which the Harding Administration may
take toward the Soviet appeal, Herbert
Hoover, Secretary Of Commerce, in q
statement issued Monday, expressed
the opinion that the Bolsheviki must
abandon their present economic sys-
tenn and resume production before
trade could be carried ON with other
nations. He recalled that there had
been no prohibition on the exchange
Of commodities for soma time, and
added:
There are no export commodities in
Russia to-day worth consideration ex-
cept gold, platinum and jewelry in the
hands Of the BolsheviR government.
The real blockade has been the
failure Of the Russians to produce any
trade with"
1t was indicated that Secretary
Hoover's statement, despite it's eco
nomic and non-political nature, was in
accord with the opinions Of both Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary of State
Hughes, with whom the Secretary of

BERLIN, March 22.--Sobered by the
incompleteness of their victory in the
plebiscite in Upper Silesia, the German
government and press are beginning
to assert vociferously that Upper Sile-
STA constitutes can indissoluble ma

welcome extended to-day by Chancellor

OPPELN, Upper Silesia, March o.
Indications in official quarters to-day
were that the French section of the
lnter-Allied Commission would seek to
convince the council of ambassadors at
Paris that Poland had won virtually
the entire industrial section of Upper
Silesia, on the left bank of the Oder,
despite the general German majority
in the plebiscite.
The Germans are claiming the indus
trial region as a whole by $4,000 ma
jority and are conceded to have won
the plebiscite by approximately 245,O00,
but the French suggest a Polish vic
tory by majority of the communes
in the big mining and industrial cen
ters. Germany won in the large cities,
but the country districts, being Polish,
q majority of the communes voted for
the Polish side. Thus the French sug-
gestions of giving Poland the territory
south of Oppeln and east of the Oder
British circles are understood to be
not wholly favorable to the French
position, but are inclined to permit the
council of ambassadors to decide with
out presentation of any brief on the
part of the Allies.
The German plebiscte commission
issued the first and apparently accu-
rate returns Of their final figures,
giving Germany 716,406, but Poland
only 371 ,232.
The Poles are visibly disappointed
over the result, but are pnning their
hopes on the action of the council of
ambassadors, while the Germans are
