stated. 'It is In the interest of soviet
Russia to establish and maintain eco
nomic Intercourse between Russia and
the United States. 1t is clear that any
understanding of this or any other
character must be kept inviolate by the
Russian soviet government, ipasmuch as
the United States would be free to
break off economic relations in case Of
noncompliance"
This desire to open trade relations,
Martens said, was laid before two Amer
lean journalists who were in soviet Rus
sia recently and who obtained specific
assurances on this point from Mr.. Lenine
personally"
One Of these men, Martens said, has
signed statement from Lenine Offering ex-
pliclt guarantees that the soviet gov
eminent win not interfere with the in
