The Case of Martens.

The State Departments rejoinder to
the soviet government, sent through
the Swedish authorities. respecting the
matter of the arrest" of Martens in
tn country is explicit and satisfying.
1t declares that Martens has not been
arrested, and points to the fact that
although now acknowledged by Mos
Cow as the representative of the soviet
government in america he is a German
citizen. having voluntarily so declared
himseif when he entered this coun
try III 1916. Furthermore. the reply
takes dire. issue with the statement
OF tn ao.irI government II the mat

zens and oliic ais in Russia and points
TO several instances of oppression and
abuse without warrant
InaSmuch as the United States does
not recognize the soviet government,
it is hard to see how the latter Ca:
formally except to the treatment of
Martens or of any other person who
may claim to represent it. Martens
has no official status. He is not even.
as the State Department points out.
Russian citizen, but German He
has been engaged in decidedly ques-
tionable procedure in this country. He
was placed under observation. though
not formally arrested. Perhaps he
should have been arrested. Possibly
he was engaged in lawless propa
ganda. The fact remains that he was
not placed under custody and what
has happened to him here is actually
none of the business of the so-caEcd
government of Russia. which officially
from an American point of view does
not exist. The United States must en-
force its own laws and protect itself
against m:schievous agents of revolu-
tionary organizations, especially the
emissaries of bolshevism, who are con

Handling Supply Bills.

Congress IS 10 he congratulated on
the large amount of business It trans
acted between the time OF assembling
and the time of recess-thirty ght
days. 1t recast a number of supply
bills and passed them, and passed
other measures of importance. Some
thing was doing right along.
While praiseworthy, this record does
not stand alone. 1t has been demon
strated time and again that Congress
under pressure can perform good
deal of work in short time.
But work performed under pressure
is not always the bes. work, or even
as good as the occasion demands.
Hurry is not advisable in measures
carrying enormous sums of money, or
in those carrying important points of
law. Every item in such measures
should come under close scrutiny and
be accepted only after full debate.
Otherwise, "jokers" creep in, and liti-
CATION is promoted.
The present is a good time for con-
sideration of this matter. At the regu-
lar session, which begins in December,
supply bills for the whole support of
the government for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 1920, will be pre-
scented, debated and passed in fash
ion guaranteeing thorough examina-
ton. They will contain very large
number Of items, and the sums total
will run into the billions. True, the
war is over; but these are new peace
times, and they call for more money
than has ever been necessary before
for running tho government in time
Of peace.
