been enacted for the protection of
the republican regime. the COM

day in a cablegram from Com
mercial Attache Herring at Ber-
lin.
The political crisis resulting from
the assassination of Foreign Min
ister Ratheneau. Mr.. Herring re-

of currency depression inaugural
ed by the failure of the foreign
loan negotiations and the feeling
is now general that Germany
faces, grave political complications
with the fall in exchange, which
dropped to the lowest level in his

The consideration by the reich
stag of important legislation" he
said, including the forced loan bill
and grain subsidy measures, was IN
terrupted by the Rathenau Incl
dent and by the consequent con-
sideration and enactment Of strin-
gent measures for protecting the
republican regime. These measures
provide the death penalty or lie
imprisonment for o n S p T y

RUSSIANS
CAUSE STRIFE
AT THE HAGUE
Delegates Of Other
Nations Shocked by
Bolshevik Propos-
ais AS to Property

The Hauge, July THE Hague
conference. following the dramatic
pathway of Genoa's famed con-
clave, came very near a rupture to-
day, the issue on which the confer
ence threatened to split being the
treatment of confiscated property
in Russia.
What Russia proposed to do in
the way of restitution, as explained
officially by Maxim Litvinoff. the
Russia spokesman, fell like cold
shower on the expectant dele
gates. Sir Philip Lloyd-Greame, of
the British delegation, arose and
declared it was perfectly absurd
to continue the discussion unless
more satisfactory assurances were
Forthcoming. Only NJ. Krassin-
"Krassin, the conciliator," as he is
beginning to be called-saved the
day by suggesting mildly that con-
troversial matters be left aside for
the moment and a real effort be
made to find a common ground
based on mutual advantage.
who Owned Properties?
The difficulty started at the af-
ternoon session Of the conference
when NJ. Litvinof read a long list
of oil ane. other concessions which
Russia was ready 10 give to for
eigners.. NJ. Cattier, Belgium, sug-
gested it would be nice" if NJ.
Litvinoff would explain which of
the properties listed were under
foreign ownership previous to their
confiscation, and what foreign
properties were excluded from the
list.
NJ. Litvinoff replied that he could
not say whether thu properties be-
long previously to foreigners or
Russians. It was difficult for Rus
sia to identify foreign properties;
all that could be done was to pub
lish the list and let foreign owners
identify their property if they
could.
The Russian spokesman made
the statement:
Eve do not go back on what we
said at Genoo Kameiy. that the
first option on concessions would
be offered to former owners.
A long. exciting discussion fol
lowed, with frequent murmurs Of
astonishment or d;saniroyal.
