SOVIET COUNSELOR NEXT
Washington. Dee. 17. With the ap ap
preal of the President. W. 11. Wilsen,
secretary of labor, has directed the
commissioner general of immigration te
deport Ludwig O. A. IC. Martens, so se
called "ambassador" from the Russian
Soviet government te this country, en
the ground that Martens is an official of
the present Russian Government which
advocates the overthrew of the govern
ment of the United States by force and
as such, under the Immigration act of
October 10, 1018, is liable te depor
tation. The secretary ruled Mnrtcns'
perqennl attitude en overthrew of this
government was net the deciding factor
and the finding was based en the official
status of the Russian agent.
Tlie government, it was learned yes
tcrday, will new push the similar case
ngainst Gregery Welnstein, counselor
of the Soviet "embassy," nn empleye
of Martens. Santeri Nuertevn, formerly
secretary te Martens, has fled this
country nnd returned te Russia,

The correspondent adds that Russia
was never poorer and distress never

Russian Soviet Government in willing
te bIve concessions te foreign capital
and would endeavor te avoid conflicts
with neighboring countrles.
Montreal, Dec. 17. V. A, Reycr, a
Montreal man, who has just returned
from England, where he was iu close
touch with Leonid KraBsIn, special
trade envoy of the Russian Soviet Gov Gev
rrnmmit. stated vesterdav msiiv mil
liens of dollars' worth of Russian or
ders had been obtained for Canadian
manufacturers. ,
Mr. Reyer's visit Oe Tnden was for
the purpeflQ of consolidating the posi
tion of the 80,000,000 centruct ob
tained by his firm frm kudwlg C. A.
K. Martens last June in New Yerk,
where Martens was endeavoring te buy
supplies for the Russian Soviet Gov
ernment in the United Btates.
Ionden, Dec. 17. Leonid Krnssin,
representing the Russian Soviet Gov
ernment, had conferences here with Sir
Rebert S. Heme, president of the beard
of trade, lasting nearly the whole day,
regarding resumption of trade. It is
stated agreements were reached, but
their conditions must he referred te
Moscow for nppreval. Upen receipt of
n reply from Moscow nnethcr confer
ence, which it is believed will definitely
determine the success or failure of the
protracted negotiations, will be nr
rnnged, nnd If the signatures of the
two conferences are appended, the treaty
will be submitted te the Rrltlsh cabinet.
It is authoritatively declared the main
obstacle in the way of an ngrccment is
British dissatisfaction with the replies
from Moscow pertaining te tbe cessa

The riot was due te the sheeting of
an American policeman recently by a
member of the constabulary. It com

stabulary breke out from their bar
racks, where they had been locked up,
