A. K. Mar tens, self-styled soviet ambassador. , Chairman Moses presented protests from the Packard Motor Car cjmpany a.:d the Westinghouse Electric com pany against Martens' assertions that they had sought to trade through him with Russia. Martens conceded It was possible that they had been merely so licited to sell goods, and had not sought orders. Martens read a letter he wrote the Btate department formally demanding possession of some $28,000,000 worth of railway t equipment, bought in the United States by the fora.er r.gime in Russia, to Jwh.ch he has received no response.! ij , . , , "Are you now prepared to submit to the committee all your Instructions, secret or ' otherwise, from the soviet government?" was asked by Wade H. Ellis, committee counsel. "No," Martens answered. "I -am willing to give ever' thing I can sub mit, but I cannot give my codes, names nf mv mirl,is nnd soforth.' I Ellis read an alleged statement of Leon Trotsky crediting him'with urg ing his Russian assoc.'ates in mis coun try to stay here and conduct a revolu tion. This, Martens said, was "a dirty lie, like lots of others."

"Do you know where the money comes from which you propose to spend here?" Ellis asked. "From the Russian people. Martens answered. Questioned as to the taking over of land in Russia, Martens finally sa d: If you want to prove that property was tuken in Russia, I will state that the Russian people who were formerly Slavs have confiscated the lana nnd livestocks and buildings for themsel ves. "They took over the banks but not the deposits. The depositors had the right to draw out their money." Seizure of all Russian newspapers was because "it Is only by this means that you can have a free press," he said.
