RUSSIA MUST PAY DEBTS, SAY ALLIES; DOUBTFUL KRASSIN
(By Associated Press) PARIS, June 16. Representatives of 10 nations attending the international conference for the protection of
foreign interests in Russia, have decided on the principle that all states of the former Russian empire must give guarantees that they will carry their share of the engagements of the imperial regime, according to the Matin. It has been decided to oppose resumption of commercial relations until an International agreement giving satisfaction to holders of Russian
bonds has been concluded, the newspaper says. LONDON, June 15. Soviet Russia does not. recognize its liability for debtr. contracted by Russia up to November, 1917, and if compelled to meet them will have various offsets, says the Tpres In reporting conversations between British ministers and Gregory Krassin, Bolshevik minister for trade and commerce. M. Krassin, when the matter was called to his attention, Is said to have denied the existence of any liability, but Intimated that. If the force of circumstances should make It desirable for thp soviet government to accept such liatl'.ity, then the Soviet government would, as a counter-balancing factor, Insist upon Inheriting the rights and privileges secured to Russia by former treaties. He laid especial emphasis, it is declared, on the convention of 1915, which awarded Constantinople to Russia.
COPENHAGEN, June 15. Maxim Lltvlnoff, assistant commissalr for foreign affairs in the Russian Bolshevik government today received telegrams from Leon Trotzky and Nikalal Lenine, respectively Bolshevik minister of war and premier. This fact appears to dispose of rumors originating in Tokio that Trotzky had been murdered and that Lenine had fled from Moscow.

PRICES COMING DOWN, SAYS EFROYMSON
(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 15. The peak in the high cost of dry goods has bees reached and a gradual reduction already has begun, according to G. A. Efroymson, a local merchant In an address before the eixth annual meeting of the Indiana Retail Dry Goods association here today. Ms. Efroymson described the price feltuation now as "demoralized and indefinite. The public demands lower prices," he said, "and it probably will mean that retailers must give lower prices if he is to turn ver his stock and keep his business. A reduction
must come about by reductions all
along the line by a reduction of profits charged.
"Lower prices are coming. I do not see how they can be appreciably lower for fall goods, but I believe that the
gradual reduction will come over a
period of five years. It will require good business Judgment, however." J The meeting will end tomorrow.
