TO our government now. The former
Cadet lcaders-Lvoff's and Miliukoffs
associates-are scattered around in
Paris and London clamoring for help
but attracting no attention. Some of
our former antagonists OF ability have
come in with us at home"
Hopes Based on "Paris."
Martens has sent his credentials to
Washington. but they have not been
acknowledged. Euortcva has admitted
that go far as the missions hopes Of
an early recognition have an official
basis. that basis is reports not from
Washington but from Paris. The eX-
ports the mission IL most anxious to
get moving are q supply OF American
made railway material. and after that
a supply Of industrial machinery. The
Russian property mentioned IS said to
include four complete railroad shops.
$50 locomotives and 10000 cars. The
building OF the locomotives was super
vised by a member OF the mission.
Prof. George Lomonosov, who came
over for that purpose in Kerensky's
time. He has charge OF placing orders
for more.
Apart from the diplomatic APP
proaches. the Bolshevist emissaries
feel that their Governments interests
IL tho United States are looking up,
| somewhat because OF a favorable re-
action in public opinion. but chiefly be-
cause American capital won't let sem
timent stand between it and the Rus
sian market.
Gambling capital" said Nuorteva,
will not be interested. since our Gov
ernment does not permit speculative
profits. only n fair return. \ number
OF American speculative ilnanciers
have already approached us here to
propose little deals. TLey know of that
Government property. and taking the
chance Of our being recognized and
getting title 20 It they are Offering to
pay us for options expecting TO get
100000 worth OF goods for $1,000,
900. They take us for crooks like
themselves. We tell them 10 go and
chase themselves" he said laughing.
The general implication seemed to be
| that the Bolshevist representatives OK
pect American capital TO foster recog-
! milton of their Government to in
| fluence public opinion that way for the
salle OF the profits from trade with
Russia, our markets with England and
France being virtually closed"
Nuorteva also spoke OF the psyche
logical reaction" in America. He thinks
the lies" maligninE Soviet Russia
have been overdone. Such lies, he said
were originally put out by German
agents, since at the time OF the Brest-
Litovsk treaty Germany was making
every effort to keep open the breach
between the Allies and Russia, and
prevent the former from coming TO the
aid OF Trotzky and Lenine.
| Subsequently the lying was taken W
| by Russian counter revolutiOnists. 4
lie drive" had always accompanied
some -BolsheVist attempt. Nuor-
teva instanced the report last fall that
Trotzky and Lenine had fed to Berlin
He said It had accompanied plot, en-
gineered by British officers in Russia
to overthrow tho Soviet leaders
through bribing the Red Guard officers
who had stood firm.
Not once did he speak Of the Ameri-
can capitalistic press or other agency
OF our own or any "Capitalistic gov
eminent" as having had part in the
defamatory propaganda. 1t was al
the wicked Germans and hostile Rus
slams. (And by the way, he spoke OF
his comrades as Bolsheviki but once
and then his tone OF voice seemed &c
put deprecatory quotation marks
around the word)
About Standardization OF wome !.
Nuorteva did not discuss the report
that Lenine and Trotzky were Ger,
man agents. = report sahstant!atet
