LONDON, May 7-'-TEIB two Labor socialist Governments of the world are trying to get together- -and are finding theway hard.__

The AngloRlmsian conference now meeting here and eqrpected to continue for several months, will be the severest -test the Soviet has yet encountered of the resolute- ness of its political convictions.

The issue, in its final analysis, is whether the Soviet Government of Ruasria will continue its former princlplesor modify them into a sort of pale (pink in order to bor- row British Money and establish British credits.

Money is the thing of first and foremost importance in thig confor- ence: First, the question of war and pro-war debts, and second, the question of Russia now borrowing from England in order to establish credits and bu? British 8000s-

The big bankers of Enslnud have announced that Russia can borrow no money here until past debts are acknowledged and pri- vate property rights guaranteed, Russian propaganda in foreign countries abandoned, and other conditions complied with.

Russia's job at this conference, apparently, is the very difficult one of carrying water on both should- ers-of maintaining her own politi- cabprlncipals and yet of making them inoffensive to men with money Russia wants-men who say they won't lend the money while Russia retains those’ prin- clples.

Two Big Bills , England's claims against Russia amount, roughly, to_ about $4.885,-

i900.000,000‘is demanded as 00m- pensation for private property of British nationals in Russia destroy- ed or confiscated during or after the revolutions.

ig Bill t0 Present (to

against Great Britain is consider- ably more than Great Britain's bill “Gin-st Russia. The. endeavor of the Russian delegates at the Loll- ldon conference will be to "call it illllts"——to lot the two claims offset ’each other. and wipe the slate clean.

The ‘ Soviet _bill includes, first .roughly 40,000,000,000 gold rubles, about 820.000.000.000, for 1187118868 and lossca' caused by Kolchsk and other antl-bolshevik leaders who were supported by the, allies.

Russia claims that, according to Lloyd George's own estimate, Great Britain is responsible for at least half of this loss and damage, or 810.000.000.000.

Thus, unless Britain boosts her bill, she owes Russia twice as much as Russia owes Britain-ac- cording to claims.
