SENDING JEWELS TO BUY IN
 FLUENCE

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 7.-The Lenine government in Russia, baked by the world financial blockade from sending money abroad for propaganda pur- poses, is conducting an extensive traffic in confiscated jewels through Germany to Holland markets, accord ing to the Hendelsblad, commenting on a charge that communist member Lisser of the Amsterdam council of- fered the Russian emperor's dia- monds for sale.
 During the first months of the es- tablishment of the soviet republic. said the newspaper, communists in Holland and Germany were supported by the Russian Bolsheviki with mon ey from their treasury. Many checks on the great Dutch banks were cashed. But this method became more different this year Lenine and Trotsky had no more money to spare, for not only their Dutch friends, but the German Spartacans especially used huge sums from the Russian treasury.
 Now another way has been found. Soviet couricrs have brought in dia' monds and jewelry through Germany to Holland. and the amounts realized on their sale are being used to con- unue the communist campaign. Many large jewels of mysterious origin re- gently have been offered for sale on the Amsterdam. diamond market.'
