This pronouncement was made tonight by Maxim Litvinoff. head of the Russian delegation. which arrived here today, in his first statement to the press. and 1t has created condemnation among the representatives Of the Euro pean countries here, because they had virtually agreed to discuscs credits last of all. after some tentative accord had been reached on the questions of private property and Russian debts.
 Some of the delegates believe that per sistence of the bolsheviki in this atti- tude may imperif the confersnce; they point out that there can be no serious conversations about lending money or opening credits until some satisfaction is first obtained concerning property and debts, Belgium and France will be the first to oppose the soviet procedure.
 The Russians have further announced that as they have only three delegates, they cannot split into sub-c1rnmiskons, but must all go together to the various meetings This upsets- plans which were arranged before the Russians arrived. and probably will necessitate further ses- sions of the non-Russizn delegates, to readjust the formation of the conterencA,
