Gen. Ludendorff delivered an extra
ordinary oration, overfiowing with
self praise. and describing himself as
the victor of Tannenburg and other
big battles--a representative of the
old army which was crowned with
everlasting fame"
The accused were cheered as they
left the hall. the people pressing for
ward to shake them by the hand and
bestow flowers upon them. Similar
ovations followed in the streets and
Ludendorff and Hitler appeared to

sia by 1000, 100000 gold rubles, NJ.
Zinovieff. president Of the communist
international, announced in speech
at Leningrad on the subject of the
Forthcoming Russo British confer
enCe.
The British claims, he stated. were
divided into three groups: First, state
debts and pretenSionS, for loans and
nationalized property to a total va &c
OF 2,450.000, 600 gold rubles; second.
war debts of 5,373, 000, 900 gold rubleS.
and third. interest on all the debts of
2.SlU.0O0,O 600, making d total of lO,639,-
Ov0,000 gold rubles.
Russian Damage Claims.
Russia's claims We're for damages
caused by the intervention of Ad-
miral Kolchak and for the seizure of
gold.
IF there is no hope for us to re-
ceive from England these 2.000.000,0 ,000
gold rubles," he went on. then. at
any rate, we confidently declare that
England will not get either the war
debts or the interest. The national
lied property of British subjects pre-
sents the most difficult question.
mere are IlD claims, amounting To
100000, 600 ruhIeS.
We are quite sure here that the
British eXtorters will not make US
yield. The revolution was a strug-
gle to conquer the bourgeoisic, and
if the foreign capitalists have been
mistaken in their calculations of the
safety of property in revolutionary
country, then it is their own fault.
1t is ludicrous TO think that the
working class, having sacrificed so
much. now should, while starting re-
construction, begin to return all il
appropriated by virtue of its revolu-
tionary rights. Such are the funda- :
mental points which will direct our
delegation in negotiating with the
British government"
