Russian Soviet Government furnishing Money
for Boishevisfic Campaign in America

the bank officials who called upon him
IN this way to try TO prevent the trans
Ter or the money from their banks TO
SOVIET agents in America, because 1t
would leopardize their safety.
But he did comply Immediately with
the request and cabled the state De
partment TO advise all American banks
having credits to these natioDalized
Russian banks not to honor cable
orders, even though sent in the private
codes OF the Russian banks without
cabling to their own correspondents to
secure confirmation.
The suggestion made by Mr.. Francis
was followed by the State Department,
but Notwithstanding this precautionary
measure, Mr.. Francis feels absolutely
satisfied that the Soviet Government Is
even now sending money TO our country
for Bolshevistic propaganda.
This information comes direct from
Mr.. Francis to the Manufacturers

the methods adopted by the SOVIET

Some additional light on this subject
may interest our readers.

perial and the Provincial Governments
who were personally known to Mr..
Francis called on him while he was in

iial discussion Of the situation outlined

These officials explained TO Mr..
Francis that Il amy bank officer declined
to send cable or written orders, even
in cipher, when 50 ordered by the
Soviet officials they would be i'm
prisoned.
All important Russian banks then had
credits In American banks.
They had been nationallzed by the
Soviet or Communistic Government, and
their officials knew that credits paid
out on these orders 10 men in America
would be used for the Bolshevistic
propaganda in America. as our Govern

and only permitted remittances when
satisfied that such remittances would
not reach the enemy nor the Soviet
