Another memorandum from Mr.. Clark
In regard to interesting manufacturers
said that by careful publicity work the
Soviet Bureau might get a great deal OF
free advertising. Evidently he did not
dream. however. of the advertising the
Lusk committee has given to It. As out
| lining the way In which the bureau
planned to work the document Is inter-
| esting. II reads:
Our campaign for the opening OF exc
port trade would be greatly enhanced by
arranging directly or indirectly for
meetings of manufacturers In several
| large centres of production, !. O.. New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
Chicago, &C These meetings can be ar
ranged with best effect by seeking out
scme one or two men OF prominence and
| influence In the business life Of each city,
by having a personal conference with
| them, interesting them in the proposition
OF trade with Russia and suggesting that
they get together a group Of manufsc-
turers to listen to a discussion Of the
Russian situation by the representative
Of this bureau. The arrangements for
these meetings could be facilitated by
| furnishing a list of'these manufacturers
| In each city who have signined a desire
| to do business with us already.
These meetings would best be ar
ranged by the interested party on the
| spot, without any public recognition OF
| the original stimulus Of this bureau. BY
careful publicity work, through advance
copies of speeches made, and 80 on. a
great volume of FREQ advertising could
| be secured In the press"
Next came the letter from Mr.. Clark
to DR.. Kirchwey. whom he addressed as
Dear Father" in regard to the "disillu-
stoned Americans"
This will introduce to you my friend
| Herman Tucker" said Mr.. Clark. Mr..
Tucker Is a man OF remarkably wide
range of practical experience in many
lines of activity-engineering, explora-
| ton, construction. &C. He is also one OF
our 'disillusioned Americana lie mas

cialistic tendencies
| "Mr Tucker Is anxious TO get into
some work that will not do too much
violence to his convictions and yet will
give him and his wife some Visible
means Of support. I hope you can give
him some suggestions"
Mr.. Clark sent similar letters to Fred
eric C. Howe. Commissioner OF Immi-
grafton. and DR.. Charles A. Beard.
Method Of Getting Money.
| As showing something about the way
in which the Soviet bureau has been
receiving money Mr.. Stevenson offered
in evidence a copy Of letter addressed
to United States Attorney Caffey In
regard to some moneys brought here
for propaganda purposes by one Car
| Sandberg and which were intercepted by
the Department Of Justice. The bu-
reau evidently made a demand on Mr.
| Caffey for the drafts which had come In
by way OF Sweden. but he declared
they had not come into his possession
There was nothing to indicate the size
of the drafts.
At first yesterday there were placed
on evidence some pamphlets that had
been seized at the Rand School. in.
