INTERNAL RUSSIA.
BY TELEGRAPH —PXIESB ASSN., COPYRIGHT. AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. A HELSINGFORS REPORT. LONDON, March 23. The “Molining Post’s” Helsingfors telegraphs as follows: Continuous rifle fire at night is audible from Kronstadt. This is an indi- . Nation that executions are taking j place. I AMERICA AND RUSSIA. | (Received this day at 8 a.m.) | NEW YORK, March 22. j The New York “Times” correspon- 1 dent telegraphs that President Hard- j ing received a direct appeal from Mos- ' cow regime, asking for a resumption of trade relations. The Soviet proposes ' to send a delegation to United States to negotiate a commercial agreement. Mr Harding sent the message to the State Department where it is being t considered, but no statement is authorised concerning United States pro Ixible action. The appeal has not created surprise, as it was expected that th c signing of the Anglo-Russian agre. - j ment would be followed immediately by a vigorous drive in United States to force recognition of the Bolshevik Co veirnment. It was formerly believed that unless Mi- Harding and Mr Hughes decided to completely reverse Mr Wilson’s Russian policy, which *'■ : now considered extremely unlikely, they would flatly reject Moscow over- ! tures. j LENIN’S CONFESSION.
