Received Tuesday, 10 p.m. ! LONDON, Aug. 12. Since the breakdown of the 1 Anglo-Russian trade talks another ! instalment of £2,400,000 became due i from the Russians on July 31 under ; the civil supplies credit agreement i of 1941, but only a little more than j half of that sum has been received. I Th'e British Government has declared that it cannot' accept what' amounts to a unilateral decision on. Russia's part to cut the debt pay-l ment. The Government has made it clear, however, that on receipt of full payment it would be willing to discuss the credit on the basis that any agreement would be retroactive. The Government, meanwhile, is I pressing for a reply to its message to Russia offering resumption of the trade talks.
