Daily developments before the commit

one of the most sOrdid combinations and

More injustice has been done the pub

MOSCOW, Dec. 2s.-George Tchitcher-
in, Russian soviet commissary for for
eign affairs, has just granted me an ex-
elusive interview regarding the decision
of the United States to deport Ludwig
C. A X Martens, soviet representative
in New York.
NJ. Tchitcherin said:
1.-THE decision of the United States gov
eminent TO deport the soviet representa-
tive, especially in view of the motiva-
ton OF that decision, namely, that Mr..
Martens, being an agent of the soviet
government, belongs TO an organization
seeking by force and violence TO over
throw the United States government,
seems to be the product OF an incOmpre-
hensible, panicky state OF mind which
will appear to impartial observers as q
puzzling psychological curiosity.
ut would be unkind towards America
to believe that the decision represents
the opinion of the American people. espe-
cially Of the American working men, who
have given so many proofs Of their sym
pathv toward soviet Russia.
I'VE also refuse TO believe that it rep
resents the viewpoint of American bust
ness interests, whose many negotiations
with us demonstrate their great desire to
re-establish relations with Russia.
However, the decision to deport our
representative precludes the possibility
Of any and all business with America
for the time being.
I'VE have instructed our representa-
tive to cancel all pending deals until a
reversal Of the United States decision
makes business possible.
IF she must get along without Amer
ica's cooperation in her economic recon
structicn. which needs immense amounts
Of materials, Russia shall do so, and "
is only fair to say that with peace and
the concentration Of our forces on eco
nomic efforts together with the readi-
ness of Europe to utilize the Russian
market, we shall be less hurt by this
iucomprehensible attitu=> Of America
than America will hurt herself.
We shall not impose ourselves where
We are not wanted.
We have instructed our representative
to return Immediately with his STAFF
