special Cable to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Copyright, 1921, by THE NEw York HERALD.
s REvAL, via LONDON, Oct. 3.-Before
Gregory Krassine Of the Soviet Gov
ernment left Moscow recently a con-
ference OF Bolshevist leaders there
considered concessions in connection
with the old Czarist debts and foreign
credit for the Soviet Government.
Krassine said efforts to aid in develop
ing Russia through the granting Of
foreign concessions still were unsuc-
cessful and proposed recognition Of the
Czarist debts on condition that French
financiers would allow ample foreign
credit to Russia.
Bolshevist leaders authorized him to
negotiate with French capitalists and
to promise to pay interest on the old
debts owed by Russia In Ave ITO ten
years. Krassine is now negotiating
with French financiers In this connec-
ton.
More Modffications.
Meanwhile a series Of decrees, some
recently issued and some about to go
forth, will modify still further the
Soviet system. For example. the Bolshe-
visit bureaucracy has been cut down by
half and the commissars have been with
drawn from, the army and factories. The
factory Sovicts have been abolished and
the factory managers now have as much
power as they ever had. without inter-
ference by the workmen. The work.
mems broad rations will be abolished
soon and workers will have to buy their
own bread with their earnings. just as
they do In America.
The ExtraorA4tsary Commission is to
be made an ordinary police department
under a police commissioner to be ap-
pointed by the Government.
Krassine thinks that these changes
will react favorably on the foreign con-
cession question. and entertalns high
hopes In connection with his present
neg ,tiations with foreign capitalists.
especially with Leslie Urquhart's Eng
lish group.
"October Decisive Month"
Apparently the Bolsheviki wish to
celebrate October. the anniversary of the
Bolshevist revolution and of the Cars
establishment of the Durna. by sweep
ing changes. The Pravdc. official Soviet
newspaper In Moscow, says:
This Is decisive month. October
means our collapse or victory in our
economic battle"
The Bolheviki think that even the
famine mny do them good by destroying
the Nationalist movements among the
Tatar Republicans. the Khirghiz. the
Chuvashes and other races on the Volga,
who have been moving toward complete
independence.
