New York Times, August 6, 1921 MAY SHIP SOVIET GOLD HERE Moscow No Longer Barred From Doing So, British Officials Rule. WASHINGTON, August 5:—Russian Soviet gold may now be shipped to this country from Great Britain as the result of a recent ‘est case in the British courts. The Department of Commerce has been advised to this effect by Ambassador Harvey. “The London Board of Trade now takes the ground,” the Ambassador said, “that the outcome of the test case demonstrates that no holder of Imperial Russian securities can successfully contest the Soviet claim to legal ownership of the Russian gold reserve, ind I am informed that the Bank of England will henceforth grant export license or documents of title for Soviet gold without regard to the character of the assay marks it carries.” 1g
