Show they are dangerous and not because they happen to have boon born in the land of Bolshevism and Leninism. Recent Re-cent raids have disclosed the fact that a vast majority of those caught in federal fed-eral department of justice dragnets are Russians. It may bo a mere coincidence. coinci-dence. There are thousands of Ttussians in this country untainted by the radicalism radical-ism of the red revolutionaries of Petto-grad Petto-grad and Moscow good and loyal citizens citi-zens who havo renounced everything for Americanism. They aro not being abused. Tho scoundrels the federal agents havo been going after and getting get-ting arc aliens who are here not to bc-como bc-como citizens, but to stir up mischief. "Ambassador" Martens 's offer to pay for the deportation of these rassuls is interesting, but not likely to be entertained enter-tained by Washington. CHARGES CLINCHED. A legislative investigation committee commit-tee has drawn from Martens, the so-called so-called 1 1 ambassador " of the Russian soviet, with headquarters in New York, the reluctant admission that the regime which he represents is antagonistic to all organized governments, and that he has been sedulously engaged in promoting pro-moting the propaganda of the communist com-munist party, not neglecting the promising prom-ising field in the United States. Measures Mea-sures to insure the success of the communists com-munists in their battle against "capitalistic" "cap-italistic" governments include civil war and an uprising by the "proletariat" "prole-tariat" the moment matters are ripe for such an undertaking. Martens s admissions clinch tho charges made in congress anJ elsewhere that behind the Bolshevist movement in the failed .States is the finaucial ami political assistance of the Lenine-Trotzky Lenine-Trotzky government in Russia.

The alarming feature of this propaganda is that it has not won converts among the ignorant aliens alone. It has found sup port In unexpected quarters among American-born citizens, not nil of t ham half-baked theorists, by any means. The revelations in Ihe New York Inquiry In-quiry suggest the wisdom of imniedl ately taking action which will send Martens and his associates in the so-called so-called soviet "embassy" back to tho land of Bolshevism and government by force. Attorney (Jereeral Palmer says that existing laws aro inadequate to deal with alien mischief-makers as thoy deserve to be dealt with. If thut be true, then a Iwuvy responsibility is laid upon congress, quite us important, as dealing with fiscal and other problem". This same Martens has approached the department of state with n proposal to transport to Uusiia at the expense of the soviet government all accused radicals rad-icals now awaiting deporlalion and all other Itusslan subjects wishing J.0 re tufn to their native land.
