Grated Russia's peaceful ambitions

delegate to draw up an agreement.
80 far as the United States is
concerned, Russia Is still awaiting
a reply to the All Russian Soviet's
request that It be permitted TO send
a commission th7re. as we could not
consider a statement made in the
newspapers as the reply due the

mind that It does not wish to know

useless TO permit American news

accused Of making propaganda, ne
declared.
THE effects OF the British agree
ment are already showing NJ
Litvinov said FOR the orders we have
placed have created greater conf

OF Reval are congested by Russian
