MOSCOW, Dec. 2S.--George Tchit-
sherin, Russian soviet commlssary
for foreign affairs, has just granted
me an exclusive interview for the
International News Service regarding
the decision of the United States gov
eminent to deport Ludwig {. A. n
Martens, soviet representative in New
York. NJ. Tchitcherin said;
The decision of the United States
government to deport the soviet rep
resentative, especially in view OF the
motivation of that decision. namely,
that MIR. Martens, being an agent or
the soviet government, belongs to an
organization seeking by force ana
violence to overthrow the United
States government, seems to be the
product of an incomprehensible. pan
icky state of mind which will appear
to impartial observers as n puzZling
psychological curiosity.
"It would be unkind toward Amer
lea to heheve that the decision repre-
sents the opinion of the American
people, especially of the American
working men, who have given so
many proofs OF their sympathy TO-
ward soviet Russia.
I'VE also refuse to believe that II
represents the. viewpoint of American
business interests, whose many neEo-
tiations with us demonstrate their
great desire to re-establish relations
with Russia.
However, the decision to deport
our representative precludes the pos
slbility of any and all business with
America for the time being.
I'VE have instructed our repre-
sentative to cancel all pending deals
until a reversal of the United States
decision makes business possible,
III she must get along without
Americas cooperation in her eco
nomic reconstruction which needs
immense amounts of materials Rus
STA shall do so, and il is only fair 10
say that with peace and the coucen-
tration of our forces and economic ef-
forts together with the readiness of
Europe to utilize the Russian mar
ket, we shall he less hurt by this in
comprehensive attitude Of America
than America will hurt herself
1--WE shall not impose ourselves
where we are not wanted.
1--WE have instructed our represent
ative to return Immediately with his
staff"

NO BONUS

The proposition to reward all OF the
ex-soldiers with a bonus of $50 for
every month of their service is not to
the publics liking, and it is regretable
that the Vermont Department of the
American Legion is not putting itself
on record as against it. In the recent
conference at Montpelier Commander
John M. Thomas and other leaders
firmly opposed it, but the majority of
the posts in the state have voted in its
favor.
The country is not in a position to
enter hurriedly upon such a heavy
financial obligation, and particularly
upon one which would not be entirely
equitable.
There are some of the boys who were
better off in the army or navy than
they ever were in their lives before,
some who profted from their service
nearly as much as they would have
done from year at school.
There is no ground for the nations
rewarding its soldiers Unfortunately,

COMPOSITE CARELEsSNEss

A mistake in reading a train order
received at Gassetts by the crew of
Extra %, freight of 46 cars, was with
out doubt the direct cause of the wreck
near Bellows Falls Sunday afternoon,
when ten persons were dashed to death
says the Rutland Herald in Wednes-
days report of the probe by the
Public Service Commission into the
cause of the wreck of the north-bound
flyer.
That mistake was fearful thing. In
flash it needlessly took a toll of lives
about as great as all Addison County
suffered in the World War Commits
sioner William R. Warner of Vergen-
mes asked a pretty pertinent question
of Conductor Philips of the freight
train when he said IF there was any
question concerning the meeting place,
whether at Bellows Falls or Bartons-
vile, what should you have done first
in the line of duty?" The answer was
that he should have conferred with
the engineer, but it was admitted that
this was not done.
1t is inconceivable that conductor,
engineer and brakeman, could have all
mistakenly read the order to meet the
flyer at Bellows Falls" 1t was written
"Bartonsville" and although not clearly
legible, some one of these three men
should have made an effort to learn the
correct orders before the train pro-
ceeded beyond Bartonsville. 1t is a
well established case of Composite
carelessness" on the part of these three
men and the man at Gassetts who
wrote the order, and the state author
tiles or the Rutland Railroad manage
ment should do something sufficiently
drastic to restore public confidence in
a system of laxity of which the public
has too long been tolerant
Prof. Perkins of the Department of
Mathematics at Middlebury College,
who was on the train and took part in
the rescue work, declares that he was
astonished to find that the train was
not equipped with any sort of first
aid kit and not one of the surviving
trainmen apparently knew anything of
helping injured persons. He believes
that one or more lives might have been
saved if there had been a frst-aid out
fit. Apparently the railroad manage
ment can take some blame upon itself,
and in the interests of public safety
can equip all trains with such outfits
and see that at least its most respon-
sible members of train crews are in
structed in first aid to the injured
The basic cause of this and count
less other wrecks, of course, is that the
Rutland Railroad nearly a quarter OF
a century ago ought to have been con-
verified into double track line. 1t
may now be a quarter of a century
more before it will be done, and until
such time its patrons will continue to
be the goat of an inadequate and unsafe
system of transportation.

Who Are These Gentlemen

Potatoes are a pretty scarce article
of commerce in Middlebury just at
present and they are selling around
$3.50 per bushel, retail, Yet it is we'll
known that there are still large guam
titles of potatoes stored in the county,
some of whose owners seem to have
adopted the slogan -Four dollars a
bushel-or rot"
The foregoing is from Middlebury
correspondence to the Burlington Free
Press. 1t is mighty important if true;
and a SANDER upon some of our county
farmers if it is false. The Farm Bureau
would do a public service if it would
enlighten Middlebury households as to
the potato situation, and whether or
not there are cases of such gross prof
iteering as this item indicates.
