TRADE WITH RUSSIA.
PROPOSALS IN NEW AGREEMENT. QUESTION OF OLD DEBTS. By TeltgraDli.—Press As»n—Copyright, Received Oct. 5, 5.5 p.m. London, Oct. 4. The Morning Post publishes the text of the proposed trade agreement between Britain and Russia, pending the conclusion of a formal peace tTeaty. The document mainly defines the rights and duties of persons engaged in such trade. The only reference to Russia's pre-revqlution obligations consists of a formal recognition by Russia of her liability to pay compensation therefor, but the mode of discharging same is left until the peace treaty is framed. On the contrary Britain undertakes not to attach, on account of the foregoing obligations, any gold securities, goods, etc., exported by Russia as payment for imports from Britain under the proposed trade agreement. The Morning Post says these, clauses relating to pre-revolution debts and stolen gold aroused indignation in commercial and financial circles, being regarded as immoral transactions.—Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
