NEW YORK.-The Mayor was in

tenant, in polite Fusion fashion,
suggested that the delegation see
Bernard S. Deutsch, president of
the Board of Aldermen. But
Deutsch, too, who has often de-
clared his verbal opposition to Hit
Ter, was busy, and his secretary in
formed them that "the best way is
to send letter"
The group was advised to see Po-

quarters, but on their arrival they

Finally, after much passing of the
buck, as only New York boss poll

square" mantle when the delega-

not paid the Kerensky and Czarist
loans. Under the johnson Bill, ma
tons declared in default" are pro-
hibiting from floating loans or re-
ceiving credits in the United States.

these debts" said Ambassador
Troyanovsky, who is visiting Bryn
Mawr College as a guest of DR..
Susan M. Kingsbury and DR.. Mil
dred Fairchild. of the Colleges De-
partment of Economy and Social
Research.
"If the true facts were known,
think we would not be regarded as
in default. L do not believe many
of the details as to the real sit
uation are known"
The Soviet Union has been nego-
tiating with the Roosevelt govern
ment on the debt question since rec
ignition, and the sudden blast
issued by Cummings at the request
of Secretary of State Hull did not
mention a single fact in connection
with these debts.
The Cummings decision was pur-
poSely made abstract and in tech
nical legal language to keep from
the American people the fact that
the $37000,000 which the Gar and
Kerensky borrowed from the United
States were used, not in the interest
of the Russian people, but to pay
huge salaries to the Gar and his
retainers, to purchase arms and am
munition from the big American
munitions manufacturers, and to
finance Kolchak, Deniken and other
whiteguard generals who were sent
to slaughter the Russian people who
had thrown off the Czarist power
THE statement of Cummings
Troyanovsky added, sis very impor-
tant, and perhaps our government
will decide now to publish its ar
guments. We did not publish them
in order not to create a bitter at
moSphere and to make the recent
negotiations run smoother. Now
that this statement has been made
I think maybe we will be glad to
publish the real facts. If our ar
guments were better known, no one
would consider us defaulters.
1.-The Export Import Bank, you
know, made a statement that it
would not grant us credits. 1t said
it did not want to start business
with any Soviet organizations until
the President decides on our mutual
claims satisfactorily. After the
President decides negotiations are
in a satisfactory condition, the Ex-
port-Import Bank can start bust
ness"
The Cummings decision, which
gives courage to all the enemies of
the Soviet Union attempting to
forge united imperialist war front,
came at moment of the sharp con-
f1icts between the United States and
Japan, and when the japanese were
attempting to lead these antagon-
isms into the channel of a general
attack against the workers father
land.
