RUSSIA WINS IN
FIRST At HAGUE
Soviets Garry Point That Russian
Credits Must Be First Point Dis
cussed at Conference; French
Protest In Vain.

The Hague, June 27.-Russia to.
day won the opening clash of The
Hague conference.
Over the heads of French protest,
the soviet delegation carried its
point that credits for Russia must
be the first thing discussed at the
parley. The sub-commission on
credits was to meet with the bolshe-
vik delegation at 4 o'clock this after
noon.
The French showed great resent
ment at the first preliminary meet
ing Of delegates today at what they
termed the Russians dictatorial at
titude. They declared they would
not discuss credits until Litvinoff,
head of the soviet emissaries, an
nounced his readiness to agree to
allied demands regarding debts and
private property.
Litvinoff remained firm. The
French tried to bring about a meet
ing of the debts subcommission.
The Russians refused to attend.
Finally it was agreed, as Litvinoff
had demanded, that first contact
should be established through the
credits sub-commission.
