Discussion as to the authenticity of
the "Lenine Trotzky corruption docu-
ments" reached a point of open disa
grecmcnt yesterday in sharp ex-
change of opinion between "The Eve
uing Post and George Crcel, chairman
of the Bureau of Public informant
In two-column letter to the editor
of Tho Post" Mr.. Creel denounced the
attitude OF that newspaper in the re-
cent controversy. BY printing edi
torials and news stories impugnng the
ccnuneness of the Bolsheviki papers,
he said. "The Post had broken the
rules of decent journalism' and had
done the government an Extraordinary
disservice."
'l do not make the charge that The
New York Evening Post is German or
that it has taken German money"
wlote Mr.. Creel. but | do say that the
service 1t has rendered to the enemies
of the United States would have been
purchased gladly by those enemies
and in terms Of unrest and industrial
instability this supposedly American
paper has struck blow at America
more powerful than could possibly
have been dealt by German hands"
Creel Answered Quickly
The letter was printed in yestcr-
days Post and an accompanying
editorial accused Mr.. Creel of admit
ting previously that some of the pub
iished documents "might easily have
been forged The names of several
men and a weekly publication of un-
disputed loyalty ar ementioncd as sus-
tanning "The POST in stioning the

authority and judgment of the United

documents. or only that section of the
government to whom popular report
attributes the admission that "a year
ago thought the Ukraine was a musi-
cal Instrument
The documents in dispute were col
lected in Russia by Edgar Ssson, rep
rcsenting Mr.. Creel's bureau. Their
serial publication was begun on Sep

the duplicity OF Lenine and Trotzky in
accepting German money for organiz-
