LeWes. M. - Dovgalevsky _ called for . Mr. Henderson at
the Dome at Brighton, where the Labour Party Conference was being held, and they .drove away .simultaneously motor-cars. In an announcement after the conversation Mr. Henderson stated that the issues to be settled , after the exchange of Ambassadors included (1) a definition of the attitude of both. Governments towards the Treaty. of 1924 ; (2) the Commercial Treaty and allied matters ; (3) claims, " counter-:claims and . debts ; ,(4) fisheries ; (5) the application of existing Treaties and Conventions.
The most 'unfortunate • part of the abortive Treaty of 1924 was the Labour Government's proposal to grant a large loan to the Soviet on indefinite terms. Nothing has been said about that most objectionable proposal this week, and we gladly assume that it will not be revived. " Less trouble and more trade " is a fair description of what can be gained by full contact with the Soviet. Ostracism might be recommended with more reason if it had ever succeeded as a policy, but it never has. * * * *
