SOVIET EXPECTS FIASCO
ECONOMIC CONFERENCE EXPLANATION TO MASSES By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright LONDON, Monday. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” says the Soviet delegates to the coming Economic Conference have left Moscow for Geneva. Soviet leaders explain to the Russian masses that the decision to be represented at the conference does not mean a change of attitude toward the League of Nations.
They say the Soviet Government expects the conference to be a fiasco and Russia will be represented merely in order to disarm the capitalistic enemies of the Soviet who otherwise would place the blame for its failure on the Soviet for not taking jiart in it. The newspaper “Izvestia” says the delegates have gone to Geneva without hope of any tangible results because the agenda of the conference touches none of the real causes of the world’s economic difficulties. The Soviet,,it says, does not intend to concede anything toward a relaxation of foreign trade monopoly.—“ Times.”
