! further. officials Of the attorney gem
erals office indicated today.
The department of justice has rec
ords of hundreds OF radical leaders In
the country, many of whof1 have
been watched for some time. In
some quarters the. bel.e. is ir,id that
the New York. explosion was d part
of the terrorist program pIaiined BY
leaders of the communist ir1terna-
tionale Ia Russia, and federal investi-
gators are working on the theory
that this is SO.
There Is q possibility that the in
spired bolshevik statement as to the
cause of the postponement of the
Russian-Polish peace conference, to
pc held at Riga, attributed to a de-
termination to await "synchronous''
events. may have had in view the ex-
plosion in Wall street.
May Resume Deportation MS.
1t was said at the state department
that at present the explosion and the
lynoWn tfacts have not disclosed any
International aspect, but the rossibil-
1ty that 1t has such a sinister sig
n1f1cance is being considered.
1t has been suspected that all the
bolshevik agents in this county have
not yet been expelled, and it is ex-
pected that more undesirables will, be
deported soon.
II the New York explosion was en-
l,ineered by the soviet government at
Moscow, it is believed the fact will
be established. That the soviet gov
e'rnment might have had a definite
motive for the act is generally ad-
nitted.
