Soviet Goveniinent correspondent telegraphed Embassy
here Russian text of treaty, .They seem to have made
considerable amendments to Article 4, out telegram is
corrupt so I cannot judge the extent of the changes f , I

stagration in trade, and high prices is very great and
calls for immediate attention as soon as the treaty is
signed.
