"BIG BUSINESS
AIM OF SOVIET
Ambassador" Betrays Bol-
shevik Plans to Committee -
Of u. S; Senate. ;

Washington, Jan. 30.-How the
couriers of soviet Russia, carrying
funds to finance its propaganda in
America, ran the gauntlet of death
and Imprisonment in the surrounding
states of Europe was story half
told, and then abandoned by Ludwig
c. A. K. Martens, soviet agent in
the United States, before the senate
foreign relations subcommittee in
investigating Russian propaganda.
Martens flat1y declined to answer
further questions on the subject of
the couriers, and left the committee
to consider whether or not his plea
Of diplomatic immunity" should be
allowed, while he went on to re-
count his personal activities in en-
deavoring to get his government
recognized by the State department.
Couriers Run Deadly Gauntlet.
Out of 20 of the mysterious mes
sengers who started during the last
year from Moscow with funds and
letters to him, Martens said, seven
had gotten through the barriers of
armies and international frontiers.

man to reach him, however, carried
$4,000 and his credentials as soviet
ambassador to the United States.
The couriers carried money in the
form of Finnish marks, or Scandi-
navian currency, Martens said, and
had various varieties of passports.
Altogether, $150,0O0 had come to
him throught the underground
route, and also an instruction, so
he said, not to spend any of the
money "on politics or the support
of international factions or parties
in the United States"
Submits List of Contracts.
A list of contracts for goods en-
tered into by Martens was submitted
to the committee with the explain
alton that the firms named had
agreed to furnish the goods only
on condition that they were given
licenses by the State department
to export the products to soviet
Russia.
"You depended on the relations
opefed, with American business con-

Chairman Moses asked.

Former Senator Hardwick of
Georgia, counsel for Martens, told
the committee that Martens desired
