DEPORTED.

Ludwig Martens, who has been the
representative in this country OF the
soviet government Of Russial is to be
deported. whereat Senator France is
wroth. Mr.. Martens thinks that in
stead Of sending Martens home our
government should have accepted him
and should have taken every possible
means to reopen trade relations with
Russia.
It happens that Mr.. Martens is not
being deported because he was seek
ing to establish trade relations be-
tween the two countries, but because
it was fully demonstrated that he was
an undesirable and offensive alien
who had used the qpa~si-official posi-
ton which he occupied for the pur-
pose of carrying on aswork OF deliber-
ate and studied hostility toward the
American government. This fact is
established by his own admissions, in
addition to a volume Of Independent
testimony. It has also been establish
ed that in conducting his operations
here Martens was carrying out the in
structions of THOSE who sent him. The
attitude Of Martens and his superiors
as recently expressed amounts to this:
That they were willing to forego fur
ther effort to undermine and embar-
rass the American government in ex-
change for commercial and political
recognition.
To all such blackmailers, big OF. Mt
tie, the back of the hand and the toe
of the foot!
Trade advantages, no matter how
great, are o costly if obtained only
through recognition of a gang OF high
binders. AS a matter of fact, nobody
knows just what trade relations with
Russia just now amount to. The Rus
slams need immense quantities of
goods, especially of manufactured
goods. They have practically no pro-
ducts, raw or manufactured, to ex-
change for them. Most Of their fac
tories, after a brief period of haphaz-
ard operation by Incompetent commu-
nists. are idle. Farm production has
fallen almost to nothing, as the peas
ants, weary of raising crops to have
them Communicated by Bolshevik Of
ficials, have restricted their produc-
ton practically to what they could
consume themselves.
Trade with Russia today. means
trade with the soviet government, for.
that government has nationalized
production and property wherever it
holds sway. The government recog-
nizes the property rights of no indi-
vidual, and even if it chooses not to
refuse payment for goods after it re-
ceives them, it has nothing with which
it can make payment except money
seized wherever it could find It.
If any American wishes to sell goods
to Lenin, the American government
interposes no obstacle. But it will not
guarantee that Lenin will make pay
ment, or that If he does pay it will not
be in stolen money whose rightful
owners may establish their title to It
in a civilized court.

THE WAR STILL ON.

& The German ambassador to France
country and the United States are
Still at war. At a reception in Paris
NE asked to be presented to the
American ambassador. The Ameri-
Gar ambassador refused, although
the German who had %proffered the
tactless request stood only a few feet
away. and quite within hearing.
1t is almost ~inconceivable that. such
d request should have been made. 1t
is true that the state Of war that now
exists is purely formal and technical.
Nevertheless, it is there, and no man
knows when or on what terms ordi-
nary communication between the two
countries will be re-established. 1t
is also, true that ambassadors, in their
official relations, conduct themselves
quite necessarily in a. manner quite
formal and technical. Representa-
tives of nations at war do not meet,
socially Dr. officially, although they
may be accredited to the same third
power. Embarrassing situations often
arise in consequence, but tactful per-
sons are able to avoid disaster. Some
curious complications arose in Wash
ington during the first period Of the
world war. when all but q few Of the
diplomats there represented belliger-
cnts on one side or the other, and It
was necessary to extend the usual
courtesies to all of them without
having them meet.
Under what ALTERATION the Ger
q diplomat may have presented
his request does not appear, but it II
certain that the American did the
sn.y thing possible in refusing.

the bill fails in that purpose it will

REAR TIRES OF

CLOSE STUDY

Each one OF q motor truck pre-
senta its own problems in the matter
Of tires, butt is the rear end which
must receive chief attention, says D.
C. Booth, manager OF the Quick Tire
Service company Of this city.
The front tires -upport the engine.
and the selection Of the type OF tires
70 be usee involves mainly the ques-
ton OF providing adequate cushion
ing for the engine. The wear on the
front tires is so much less than on
rear tires that for ordinary purposes
Ii is computed that front tires give
twice the mileage Of tires on the
aBut the choice Of rear tires is a
matter for the attention OF experts,
and nearly every truck presents a
special problem. The rear wheels are
the driving wheels and in additto
carry the gro -ter part Of the load.
"a combination OF durability and
cushioning is required, and IL depends
upon the proper selection Of the type
Of tire whether the truck may be
operated satisfactorily and at a mini
mum expense
There are a few general principles
which may be laid down with con-
siderable definiteness regarding the
rear tires First, on most trucks Of
less than two tons capacity the
pneumatic tire is the proper one TO
use. On most trucks Of more than
two and one half tons capacity solids
should be used. The two ton and
two and one half ton vehicles cousti-
tute a class for special study, for
there are some cases in which it
would pay the owner to equip with
pueumEtics and other circum stances
under which il would be the part Of
aEonomy to use solids. To equip with
pneumati s requires a greater in
vestment than to equip with solids
and an owner should be sire before
he spends the extra money that he
needs the special kind Of service
that pneumatics can render"
