NO FOUNDATION
TO PROPAGANDA
AGAINST RUSSIA
Paris Fabrications Are
Unmasked by Truth

MOSCOW.-Wlth reference to a
report appeared in the Paris paper
lie Journal DIES Pobats alleging that
the "Centrosoyuz" Central Union of
Cooperative Societies) is passing
thru an acute crisis and that its bills
of exchange have been protested, and
also that the Paper Trust is not able
to get payment for it's bills from
State enterprises which it supplies
with its products, and, lastly, that all
the other Russian Trusts are in a
similar plight-the Rosta News
Agency learns that all these allega-
tons are void Of foundations.
Reports Unfounded
Mr.. Hintchuk, who has been recent
ly reelected Chairman of the Board
Of Directors of the "Centrosoyuz" /,
declares emphatically that there has
not been a single instance when bills
, of exchange of the Combine were
protested. Its goods turnover has
been steadily growing and there is
ample ground for hoping that a par
tial crisis in the selling branch,
which was looming during last sum-
mer, Will be liquidated within the
nearest future.
As for the Paper Trust, Mr.. Styr-
man, Director Of the concern, de-
(. clared that the settling of accounts
between the Trust and State Enter
prises was being effected quite nor
mally, and 10 financial difficulties
stood in the way of the Combines
activity The aforementioned ale
cations of the French press Mr.. Styr-
man ascribes to an attempt to UNDER
mine the credit Of the Russian Trusts
abroad, which has been steadily grow
ing, as we'll as to the irritation caus-
ed among some French industrialists
whose offers were rejected by the
Paper Trust on the ground that there
exist no treaty relations between
France and the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics.
