in part. that my letter has been
abused tending to present me and the
authorities Of the republic Of Mexico
in a false light and which may be
availed of by the enemies of my coun-

against Mexico, to show us in league
or collusion with the radical move

ties and basic principles upon which
the government and the political struc-
ture of this country are founded.
Nothing can be further from the truth
and our aims.
$50 far as my correspondence is
concerned, the federal agents did not
reveal any underground work, as the
letter referred TO was read In a public
session Of the Mexican senate, and
was published in all Mexico City news
papers on November 6.

bonafide and honestly interprets its

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-Ludwig c.
A. K. Martens, self-styled ''ambassa-
dor of the Russian soviet government
to the United States" has offered to
provide transportation from the Unit
ed States to Russia for all Russian
citizens who desire to leave America,
or whose presence in the United States
is undesirable to the federal govern
ment This offer was made in a let
ter written by Martens to Secretary Of
State Lansing and made public to
night.
In his letter Martens protested
against the "unwarranted and cruel
treatment" to which many Russian
citizens in the United States are sub
jeeted ''by the federal and state off,
GERS, as we'll as by mobs acting with
out authority"
Has Many Applicants
He proposes that the soviet govern
ment be permitted to return the citi-
zens to soviet Russia and declares that
he has received thousands of appli-
cations from such citizens who are
anxious to return to their homes.
Martens was arrested for contempt
Saturday and released on $4,000 bail
after he had refused to appear and
bring certain documents before the
Lusk legislative committee, inyesti-
eating radical activities In New York.
He based his refusal on the ground
that all communications passing be-
tween himself and his government
were privileged. When brought be-
fore the committee In the custody OF
deputy sheriffs Saturday afternoon,
Martens promised to appear before the
committee Monday and to bring his
papers with him.
Calling attention to press reports
that 1t is proposed to deport certain
russians to parts of Russia under con-
troll OF the enemies Of the soviet gov

Treatment of Russian Citizens

the United States to soviet Russia for
every Russian citizen in this country
who desires to leave or whose presence
in the country is undesirable to the
government of the United States.
The government of the Russian So
cialist federal soviet republic has ac-
corded American citizens in soviet
Russia civil and considerate treatment,
even in cases where active hostility on
the part of such Americans toward the
government of soviet Russia has been
proven beyond all doubt" the letter
continues. "Only in some exceptional
cases where offenses of a particularly
grave nature against the Russian
government have been committed by
by American citizens were they prose-
cuted by officers of the law. Amer
lean soldiers taken prisoners in the
Archangel district, which was invaded
by American troops without a declara-
ton Of war, have been treated with
special consideration, and were un.
conditionally released as soon as it
was practicable to send them home, so
that there remains today no American
prisoners of war in Russia"
Says Russ Denied Protection
On the contrary, Russian citizens
in America, Marten says, have been
denied the protection of the law
"The lot Of thousands of Russians in
the United States today" he explains
''is exceedingly unhappy through no
fault of their own. Through daily
abuse in the press and the prejudice
created by a virulent campaign of mis-
representation, their Russian citizen
ship has become a bar to employment
! and advancement They have been
arrested without warrant and sub
jected to oppressive treatment against
which they have had no adequate pro-
lection. as citizens of country whose
government is not recognized by the
United States.
Within the past few days." he adds,
great numbers Of Russian citizens in
New York and elsewhere have been
arrested and have suffered tn most
brutal physical violence at the hands
of public officials. In the city of New
York alone over 1000 persons were
recently arrested, among them many
citizens of soviet Russia, and althoug h
those arrests were made in a manner
which caused much suffering and
physical injury to these citizens, ana
although property belonging to them
was wantonly destroyed in these raids,
it developed that few of them could be
held for further investigation and
criminal prosecution
| "A number of affidavits bearing
evidence to the fact that the laws and
liberties Of Russian citizens have beer
threatened without reasonable grounds
will be submitted to the state depart
ment within a few days"

situation tonight as when miners and
operators met at Buffalo in September

washington wage agreement.
This time, however, there was no
threat of a strike, and both sides were
READY TO resume their conference to-
morrow in the hope Of reaching a quick

class OF workers.

The miners now arc asking a maximum
of six hours working time IN the
mines. The time required TO go down
into the mines and return to the sur
face would add an average Of about a
half hour to the day, Lewis said.
There was no indication today that
operators outside the central COM
petitive fields intended to accept any
agreement which might be reached
in that territory in advance of the
agreement itself.
Mr.. Lewis declared that miners rep
resentatives from outlying districts
would remain here until a settlement
in the coal industry was reached.
'T think the operators will negotiate

in the olscu -slons recently concerning the
Sunday newspa per-a religious organization
having proposed q resolution to oppose the
Sunday paper-one of the ministers cautioned
the assembly against taking radical action
upon the question. Let Is be sensible about
this matter he said. The Sunday news
paper is just as necessary as the Sunday
trolley, which you attempted to condemn sew
eral years ago" He went on to show that
the necessity Of the Sunday paper had been
amply demonstrated during the war
The one thing which many people fail to
recognize is the fact that the Sunday news
paper is made Saturday night and not on
Sunday. There would be more logic in oppos-
ing the Monday morning paper than opposing
the Sunday morning newspaper, if one were
thinking only OF preventing labor on tha
Sabbath.
But it really makes little difference about
the discussions. The Suncay newspaper has
established its place-and il hasn't harmed
the churches either. 1t is going to remain
IN It's place, too, regardless of all discussions
II IS now champicned hy r1any OF the abest
as well as many of the most religious minds
in the world, and any organization that
opposes it is simply fighting the elements
themselves-or they might as well hght the
elements. To be deprived of the news Of the

ignorant. And to fail to read the great Sun

ures besides the news is to be more thar
one-seventh behind in the matter of spiritu-
ality.
