MOSCOW, March 28. —Soviet Hus- ,
sia’s claims against Great Britain ex- |
toed the latter’s claims against Bus- I
sia by 2,000,000,000 gold rubles, M. j
Zinovieff, president of tlie communist j
international, announced in a speech I
at Leningrad on the subject of the 1
furthcoming Kusso-British confer- j
enec.
The British claims, he stated, were J
divided into three groups: First, state j
debts and pretensions, for loans and •
nationalized property to a total va'cet
of 2,450.000,000 gold rubles; second. |
war debts of 5,372,000,000 gold rubles,
and third, interest on all the debts of i
2.5.16.000. making a total of 10.622,- |
000.000 gold rubles.
Riimmliiii Damage Claims.
Russia's claims were for damages i
caused by the intervention of Ad- j
tiiiral Kolchak and for the seizure of ;
gold. i
"If there is no hope for us to re- j
ceive from Fngland these 2,000.000.000 >
gold rubles," lie went on. "then, at j
any rate, we confidently declare that '
Kngland will not get either the war I
debts or the interest. The national- 1
ixed property of British subjects prc- j
seats the most diliicuit question, j
There are 115 claims, amounting to;
600.000. rubles. 1
"We are quite sure here that the
British extorters a ill not make us >
yield. The revolution was a snug
gle to conquer the bourgeoisie, and!
if the foreign capitalists have been ;
mistaken in their calculations of the :
safety of property in a revolutionary !
country, then it is their own fault. !
"It is ludicrous to think that the !
working class, having sacrificed sol
much, now should, while starting re- !
construction, begin to return all it j
appropriated by virtue of its revolu- j
tionary rights. Such are the funda- ■
mental points which will direct our
delegation in negotiating with the
British government.”
M. Zinovieff said the d< legates were
instructed to ask only for su.-h » r-d- ;
its as they were certain the gov- j
eminent could pay. I

LUDENDORFF HAILED
AS TRIAL IS ENDED
I Verdict to Be Given Tuesday.
War Chief Cheered Lustily
After Speech of Defense.
By the Associated Press.
MUNICH, March 2S.—The trial of
Gen. Ludendorff. Adolpli Hitler and
their co-defendants, charged with
treason for their part in the "putsch”
of last November, came to an end
yesterday, having extended over five
weeks. The president of the court
announced that the. Verdict would be
rendered next Tuesday. All of the
accused made final declamatory
speeches glorifying what they had
done and denouncing the govern
ment.
Gen. Ludendorff delivered an extra
ordinary oration, overflowing with
self-praise, and describing himself as
"the victor of Tannenburg and other
big battles—a representative of the
old army which was crowned with
everlasting fame.”
The accused were cheered as they
left the hall, the people pressing for
ward to shake them by the hand and
bestow flowers upon them. Similar
ovations followed in the streets, and
Ludendorff and Hitler appeared to
be the heroes of the moment. Many
citizens expressed the belief that the
court would not dare impose sen
tence upon them.
