GERMAN RUSSIAN RELATIONS RAPIDLY APPROACH CRITICAL
 STAGE OVER NAZI DEMANDS

LONDON, June 16 tP) - Re liable foreign sources said that German and Russian relations are rapidly approaching critical stage where they must either be cemented more closely in a pam European economic scheme, or a break to open hostility. The sit uation, this source said, has aris- en from Germany's pressure for more oil, grain and ore from Russia.
 The conviction is that certain Russian leaders have spread Ger man influence, through the re- peated European victories, which is endangering the Soviets' own ambitions to world power. Anti German Russians were said to have expressed the fear that if German domination of the Bal kans and the Black Sea is further extended, it might reduce Russia to second-rate place among ma tionS.
 Russian diplomatic sources in Lcndon however, refused to go be yond insistence that German Russian relations will continue to be amicable."
