RUSSIA W OULD R E C A L L OWN
Soviet Ambassader Prom ises T rans­
p o rtatio n o f Citizens from U. S.
By EDGAR A. GUEST
New York.—Ludwig C. A. K. Mar­
tens, self-styled "am bassador of the
Russian soviet governm ent to the
United S tates,” has offered to provide
transportation from the U nited S tates
to Russia for all Russian citizens who
desire to leave America, or whose
presence in the U nited S tates is un­
desirable to the federal governm ent.
This offer was made in a le tte r w rit­
ten by M artens to S ecretary of S tate
Lansing and made public Sunday
night.
In his le tte r M artens protested
against the “unw arranted and cruel
treatm en t” to which m any R ussian cit­
izens in the United S tates are sub­
jected “by the federal and sta te offi­
cials, as well as by mobs acting w ith­
out authority.” He proposes th a t the
soviet governm ent be perm itted to
return the citizens to soviet Russia
and declares th a t he has received
thousands of applications from such
citizens who are anxious to retu rn to
their homes.
M artens was arrested for contem pt
Saturday and released on $1000 bail
after he hod refused to appear and
bring certain docum ents before the
Luck legislative com m ittee investigat­
ing radical activities in New York. He
based his refusal on the ground th a t
all com m unications passing betw een
him self and his governm ent w ere priv­
ileged. W hen brought before the com­
m ittee in the custody of deputy sh er­
iffs M artens promised to ap p ear be­
fore the com m ittee Monday and bring
his papers w ith him.
Calling atten tio n to press reports
th a t it is proposed to deport certain
Russians to parts of R ussia under
control of the enem ies of the soviet
governm ent, M artens in his le tte r pro­
tests th a t such deportation would
mean certain death for those deported
and would co n stitu te "a flagrant
breach of all principles of in tern atio n ­
al law.”
Portland.—Dedicated to the memory
of a group of trail-blazers who pion

pletion through the united efforts of
big men of deep vision and clear fore­

the world was officially opened Mon­
