not pay much cash until it has been
accumulated by the sale of German
products abroad, she can deliver
materials to the allies, and France
hopes to get in that way large part

mainly for the purpose Of settling all
matters relating to the mandates. Its

satisfactory compensation for seized
property through private negotiations,
regardless of whether or not credits
were received. But they spoiled
all this by notifying the British dele
gates that the soviet government
would expect immediate de jure recog-

allies and neutrals adopted resolu'

but each reserved the right to resume
separate negotiations with Russia
after The Hague conference. Litr
vinoff, head of the soviet delegation,
said: Russia will attend no more
conferences. Genoa and The Hague
have been enough for u.s.
DREMIER LEVINE of Russia has
