Moscow, May 14.-Soviet Russlas
NOE to Great Britain, the text OF
which was given out today, is couch
Cd in conciliatory terms. Expressing
regretful surprise at the British ul-
tmatum, it proposes q conference at
the time and place arranged with
England at which representatives OF
both governments will discuss not
only the secondary questions raised
in the British note but will also
lcgularize fully the relations be-
tween Russia and Great Britain.
3, The note set forth what 1t de-
clares are certain errors in the Brit
: ish charges with regard to the propa-
ganda by Russia in the Near East.
While admitting that Russia natur-
ally sent money to Russian repre-
sentatives in Persia it says that Brit
ish are over-suspicious in thinking
that Russia has no use for money IN
the east other than for propaganda.
The note disavows responsibility
for the third (Moscow) information
ale. It offers to settle by arbitra-
tion the questions raised by Rus
sian seizures of Russian colliers and
compensate the families of Charles
Hadison, an English civil engineer,
executed in Russian in 1920. and of
another British subject in whose case
a claim was made if the British viii,
agree to give compensation for the
nng Imprisonment of several Rus
aN'ns in England and India.
With regard to the two notes sent
to England signed by "Weinstein'
which Hr. Hodgson, British agent
in Moscow, returned, complaining
that they were couched in offensive
language the reply says the first
note returned, was never sent again
- the British government and there
fore must be regarded, as eXtant
while the second letter did not con.
tain anything offensive. The notes
were in reply to Mr.. Hodgson's pro
test over the execution of Monsig
nor Butchva.
The note declares that despite mis-
understandings Russia greatly appr'
cates friendly relations with Great
Britain.
