TRADE DISCUSSIONS
BRITAIN AND RUSSIA POSITION OF BALTIC STATES INSISTENCE BY SOVIET (United Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Sept. 17 The Soviet is insisting on the recognition of the Baltic States as part I of the Soviet Union before negotiating a comprehensive trade pact with Britain. The Financial News says the problem revolves around the question of the release of gold belonging to the former Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian central banks, impounded in London, and the release of Estonian ; and Latvian ships now held in Brit--1 ish ports. It is understood that the Foreign Secretary. Viscount Halifax, proposed j to the Soviet Ambassador, M. Maisky, I that if the question of toe sovereignty jof the Baltic States were left in I abeyance, the value of Baltic States ; geld and British claims against those , countries could be regarded as can- | celling out each other; while, if the j Soviet agreed to general trade j talks, an amir-jlc rrungement j could be reached regarding the c!cI tained ships. | The negotiations are believed to be j continuing, but the prospects of an j early agreement are not considered | rosy.
