WELCOMES CAPITALISM
SOVIET READY TO GRANT CON
CESSIONS TO CAPITAL TO

I Wfatern Nr»«p«p«r I'nloo Stwt Bmlc*.)
Riga. l«etvia, June L— According to
4 direct Moscow dlaputcli received
from ind«i>endeiit sources, Nikolai l-**-
nlne. soviet Russian premier, lias de
clared that communism was in com
plete bankruptcy, and asked the pre
siding officers of the all-Kussian cen
tral executive committee to approve
the unlimited return of capitalism and
the recall to Russia of the constitu
tional Democrats and other pantos to
tid In rebuilding the state.
The statements contained in the dis
patch have not been carried in any of
ficial Bolshevist advices, nor hus any
lilng tending to confirm them been re
reived from any other source.
The Moscow dispatch says Lenlne
lias submitted the following written
;>ro| position.
“Whereas, in the realization that
communism has come to complete
bankruptcy, and to save the idea of
.‘ommunism and find without too big
i change of policy the way out of the
abyss into which communism has
thrust the country, it Is recognized
ihut unlimited freedom must be al
lowed capitalism and that the consti
tutional democrats ami representatives
.if the ‘real politik’ shall be summoned
to resume the work of rebuilding the
state.”
The Russian soviet government re
fused a projwsal of au Anglo-Dutch-
Belgian oil company for concessions In
tlie Grozny! and Baku regions of the
Caucasus. To date the government
hus not granted a single concession,
according to advices.
M. Lomoff, a member of the Russian
economic council, speaking at the re
cent economic congress held in Mos
cow said, according to Russian papers,
that so fur Russia has had no real
bidders for concessions.
“Even the most valuable concessions
from the standpoint of Russia could
not be sufficiently advertised and
brought to the attention of the capital
ists under present conditions. Russia
is too badly cut off from western
Europe now to be able to solve this
difficult problem."
M. Lomoff mentioned several Eng
lish and Canadian companies as hav
ing made bids for timber and pulp
concessions In the north. He said no
agreement bad yet bean signed with
Washington B. Vanderlip with regard
to Kamchatka, because this question
hinged on an Americun-Russiun trade
treaty.
M. Lomoff said Russia lmd refused
offers from a number of Gentian
finns for coal and Iron concessions
tnd also from Frenchmen for the.es
’nhlishment of automobile plants In
Petrograd.
