There was n clash between Tchit-
oherin and Colrat over adoption Of
the economic report shortly after
the conference opened, which threat
ened to develop serious proportions.
The Russian made sensational ac-
cusations against members OF the
economic commission. He accused
NJ. Colrat of barring Russians from
membership on the labor commits
sion, which the commissions report
sets up, although the soviet gov
ernment is the only one in the world
based upon labor principles"
TchitcLerin declared the eight
hour day should be made compul-
sorry throughout the world. He SAID
the economic commission lacked
courage in its report.
M. Colrat jumped to his feet, re-
torting angrily;
"The delegate from Russia Is not
particularly qualified to instruct
others on economics, considering the
chaotic condition Of his own coun'
try"
LLOYD George had his first tilt
with the Russians early in the ses'
sion. The British premier was
speaking on the motion to adopt the
political ubcommission's report.
Turning to the Russian delegation
he said:
when you are asking for cred
its. at The Hague or elsewhere,
| advise that you do not accompany
your request by an explanation o.
, your doctrine of reputation o.
debts"
, Tchitcherin started to respont
) angrily, but Lloyd George motionee
| that he would continue, and wen
| on:
oIf Russia wants money, she mus
accent the code of honor which ha'
descended on other nations through
, generations"
