MOSCOW, Aug. 6 (P) Izvestia. or
gan of the Soviet government, ln an
editorial Tuesday servos notice on
"capitalistic countries" the Soviet
cannot assume the obligations of the
czafists which it repudiated "since
creation of the Bolshevist regime in
1917." .
The editorial, obviously Inspired by
the Kremlin, says: '
"It is time for capitalistic countries
to understand, once and for all, that
the Sovlot government cannot as
sume the obligations of the czarls;
government. . .
"Ever since 1901 our revolutionary
parties have -warned international

Soviet government is ready to pay ln
terest, on newly-granted credits at
slightly higher rates than normal, "in
order to give creditors the possibility
of partial compensation for their
losses by reason of confiscation of
their properties during the revolu
tion." .
Declaring this view woa emphasized
by Joseph Stolin. Soviet dictator, at
the recent congress of the communist
party, Izvestm adds:
"The Soviet government does not
conceal its desire to ofttaln credit
from capitalistic countries which
would lighten the problem of fulfill- 1
Ing the five year industrallzation
pian. The newspaper welcomes the
lifting of the embargo on Soviet tim
ber by the American government,

Own prescription for a vacation
good fishing with friends In rough
outdoor country.
In cold glacial lakes the swift
streams of the mountain country,
government fish experts say, he will
find realization of tho angler's
dream of the ''happy (fishing
grounds."
Trouf from three to four times as
largo as those he catches in the
Rapldlan river near his Virginia
lodgo will delight his sporting In
stinct. 1
The gamo aristocrat of tho Rock
ies, the cutthroat or black-spotted
trout, abounds in tho waters of Yel
lowstone and Glacier,
This natlvo trouo ordinarily weighs
from ono to fivo pounds, but may at
tain 15 pounds or more. They are
rated as "shyer biters" than any
other species and at times it Is dif
ficult tot induce them to bite at all.
Tho president enjoys taking his
turn at camp cooking and -he prob
ably will fry somo of tho clt throats
he catches. ...
Tho waters of both Yellowstone
and Glaclor are well stocked with
rainbow trout from Mr. Hoover's
home state, California.
Another gamo fish in the Yellow
stono Is the Montana grayling. Al
though ordinarily it does not ex
ceed 12 Inches ln length and a
pound in weight, it takes a fly road
ily and is a fighter.
The bureau of fisheries recontly
collected In Yellowstone 15,000,000
cutthroat eggs, which will be hatched
and distributed ln the various waters.
The Golden trout from the high
Sierras of California, the "bird of
paradise" of the trout family, Is
being stocked In hlghm lakes of
