SOVIET TO ASK FOR LOAN
VIII Grant All Concessions at Genoa
ConditionalIy

Moscow. Feb. 81 -(By A. P.)-The
Soviet delegation to Genoa wi carry
instructions to grant all concessions de-
manded, provided big reconstruction
loan can be obtained. II this loan
cannot be arranged. then, from the
Russian point of view, the conferenc"
has only the moral value of recognition
OF the present government.
The basic reason for this attitude is
the famine. 1t is only within the last
few weeks that the leaders Of the Soviet
have realized just how desperate is the
food situation.
II the Moscow leaders do not obtain
outside help, they realize that their
power II doomed. Already the Ukraine
has shown its Independence and has
fatty refused to let any food be drained
of 10 Moscow or for the Red army
stationed elsewhere.
