Entire Villages Built. Small Chance for Loan. The Soviet government agrees to take 8,000 refugees at its own expense The league would have to transport the other 15,000 to 17,000. And the money for draining and Irrigating the land would have to be raised abroad 9,000,000 gold ruble ($4,500,000) 15 year loan is proposed, with interes guaranteed by the Armenian republic, which promises to devote all its tax returns to the service of the loan, if necessary. The scheme would go through at once if the Armenian re- public were not part of Soviet Russia, in whose good word and good inten- tions little faith Is felt.
