The outright hassle over Soviet loans is a smoldering volcano n in relations. Soviet the Apparently government got skinned in its financial dealings with the Zaire government. The whole business sounds preposterous; do the Soviets, with their violently anticapitalist creed, indulge in speculative financial operations? Do they own and operate banks . . . lend money for profit . . . occasionally get taken in by unscrupulous operators? Evidently so, if we are to believe the "Financial Times" and the "Economist" of London and the "Christian Science Monitor" of Boston.

All of these marks are found in the consolidation charter prepared this year by Calvin L. Rampton. Is he on his way to another big success, by consolidating Salt Lake County and City? Are we going to let the charade in Salt Lake County fool us into accepting total annexation so as to stop piecemeal annexation?

Formerly engaged only in conservative financial Soviet banks operations, abroad have become involved 'in speculative ventures. And. they have suffered losses as a result of politically motivated initiatives. As early as 1919 the Soviet State Bank set up a branch in England, the Moscow Narodny Bank of London. Other Soviet banks followed in quick succession. . . far-fetch- Over the last three years the 'Bell Systems total energy consumption has been reduced .10 percent, even though the number of telephones they served went up 12 percent. ed Those who have finished by making all others think with them, have usually been those who began by to think . for daring themselves. -- Charles C. Colton promise should . be given with caution and kept with care. A -- The eoV Soviet second-large- st bank in Western Europe, the Commercial. Bank for the Northern Countries in Paris, has assets of $3 billion, on which it makes 16 percent profit annually. "At present the Soviets have nine banks in the capitalist world and they plan to open more banks or financial representatives in New York, Chicago, Los Tokyo Angeles, Toronto, and Panama this year . . All these financial establishments are headed by competent bankers, who are liked and respected by their capitalist colleagues. Fortune magazine has called them communists with a capitalist accent' and concluded that they are an asset to world trade. "What is less well known is that behind this respectable facade are political directors who receive instructions, not from the State Banks financial technicians, but from the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Politburo. Just as behind every Soviet ambassador there is a . political agent holding a less conspicuous position, Soviet bankers apparently always have had their own commissars. "And recently Moscow resorted to appointing KGB officials to responsible financial posts . . . The presence of political comin the Soviet missars Unions banks abroad may explain why these institutions have become engaged in risky, politically motivated operations that capitalist banks might have shunned. The fairly big loans the Paris bank extended to North . Korea and Zaire last year are examples." Well, if the Russians are getting stung on some of v their bad loans, they're not alone.
