Il. n. Heller Denies He
Finances Societ Bureau
'C0mmercial Attnche'' Asserts
He Is Not a Millionaire Who
Has Profted by Contracts

A. A. Heller, commercial attache of
the Russian Soviet government bureau,
which is headed by Ludwig C. A. K.
Martens, the Bolshevist "envoy" in the
United States, denied yesterday the re-
port that he is "man Of millions" or
that he is supplying the Soviet bureau
with funds to carry on its work.
THE story is absolutely untrue" said
Mr.. Heller, "for unfortunately I do not
possess any millions. have never
been in the millionaire class, nor have
I associated with millonaires, even
though I may have wished to. The
story has absolutely no roundation."
Mr.. Heller said in answer to oues-
tions: at is fact that the Foreign
Trade Council of the Soviet govern
iment has placed at the disposal of this
bureau $200,000,ooO in gold for the
purchase of American goods. This
soon as trade relations are resumed,
He said that in the placing of ten
tative contracts, it has been explained
to business firms that the bureau has
not the money here, but will have it
when the embargo is lifted.
"What do you find wrong with this
government in so far as it is supposed
"!n theory" he replied, "there is
nothing the matter with this form of
government in so far as it is supposed
to represent the wishes of the ma
jority of the people. Unfortunately,
in practice it hasn't always lived up
to that theory, and many abuses of
power have grown up. But that is my
own personal opinion, and has moth
ing to do with the work in which l
am engaged at the present time.
We have only one object here and
that object is to establish trade rela-
tons between Soviet Russia and the
United States"

Settlement Houses
Protest Lusk Chnrge

Delegates from forty settlement
houses met last night at the headquar-
ters of the United Neighborhood AS
sociations, 27 Barrow Street, and pro
tested against the charge made by the
Lusk' investigation committee yester-
day to the effect that settlement houses
OF the city were teaching radical doc
trines.
1t was decided that every possible
assistance should be offered the com
mittee in it's proposed investigation.
but in statement issued at the close
Of the meeting, the gathering said
that it wished to register "emphatic
protest against the unfair, autocratic
and insdious methods that makes the
offer necessary"
The statement also deplores the fact
that the Lusk committee has shaken
the public confidence in institutions
that are teaching loyalty and sound
citizenship. 1t was pointed out that
the settlement houses have been used
as headquarters for every patriotic
drive, held in the city, and that many
of the leading citizens of New York
we're actively interested in their work.

DR.. Pelagio Luna was elected vic.-
President Of Argentina for the consti-
tutional term Of six years on April ?
1915 on the same ticket on which
Hipolito Irigoyen was elected presi-
dent. By virtue of his Office he was
also President of the National Senate
These men were the first radicals
ever elected to those Offices in Argen-
tina. Between the two there was close
political cooperation, notably in their
attitude toward the war, which was
less friendly to the Allies than that of
other South American governments. In
November Of last year in the acute
political crisis which arose over the
resignation of DR.. Romulo Naon, Ar
gentine Ambassador to the United
States, which was provoked by his dis
satisfaction with President Irigoyen's
unsympathetic policy toward this coun-
try, DR.. Luna sided strongly with his
colleague and made it known that if
Senior 1rigoyen were forced to resign,
as was for time expected, he would
refuse to succeed him.

be represented at the plcnary session
of the conference on Monday when
parts of the treaty according the
league of nations covenant will, lie
finally passed upon.
Reports here show that Premier
Orlando's passage through Turin and
other Italian cities was made the oc-
CasiOn of sumultuous demonstrations
which are expected to eliminate in
Rome on Saturday.
French reports present tho final
meeting between President Wilson
and Premier Orlando before the lat
ter's departure as highly dramatic in
character. ono version is that the
Italian prime minister i'm addressing
the American president said:
You have contested tho authority
of the Italian government before its
people and it is my duty to 90 before
the representatives Of the Italian
people and say to them Decide be
tween Mr., Wilson and me-.
In reply President Wilson is repre-
scented to have replied:
THAT is certainly your right"
In American quarters it is said that
the foregoing version Of the incident
is probably a reflex of Premier Or
landos public statement in which he
directly to the people.
1t is said also that the chances or
reaching an accord at the final meeting
were good if Premier Orlando had re-
manned Il half hour longer. But the
approach Of the time for the depart
ure of his train and his feeling that
he should consult the italian peopIe
finally caused him to withdraw while
the plan that might have brought
about an agreement was still under,
discussion. The basis of This nre
sumptiVc accord is said to have baen
the partial decentralization oP
FMme, like Danzig with the .Turo-
SlaVs occupying the Dalmatian main
land and the Italians the outlying is
lands.
The territorial issue is now felt IN
be less important than the personal
issue which the Italian premier has
raised by his plan of going before
parliament and asking a vote of con-
fidence Should this be given it is
thought probable in some quarters
that it would renew the Italian issue
before the council in Il more pro-
nounced form than either President
Wilson or the council as a whole has
thus far been willing to admit. Should
it not be given the probable result
would be cabinet changes, bringing a
new delegation with a new policy to
the conference.
There are evidences that President
Wilson has avoided using anything
which might be construed as economic
pressure on Italy although some
quarters have suggested this as an Of
fectiVc weapon. Secretary Of the
Treasury Glass has asked a credit OF
$50,000,000 for Italy and this request
now is on the presidents desk Tor
final determination.
