cations Of what the Allied proposals

sortium be formed to finance trade
with Russia through combinations Of
firms and individuals Of the various
countries represented.
Germany WIFI be included I'm the
consortium. II is declared md provi-
sion made that the United states may
join.
This plan contemplates the economic
colonization of Russia. with slaran n
tees> that the autonomy and sovereign.
ty OF the Soviet government win not
be infringed upon.
The division OF trade will be ar
ranged In such a way that the eoun-
tries participating In the consortfu
will have the opportunity of dealing
with the sections OF Russia situated
nearest them. For example. Great
Britain would be given the opportuni-
~ TO trade with northern Russia
through Archangei and the Baltic
ports, while the southern countries
would be given advantages IN the
Black Sea ports.
