Martens. together with a number of other aliens. maintain in the city of New York a socalled " Russian Soviet ]3ureau." which pretends to represent the socalled soviet or bolshevist organization dominated by Nicolai Lenin. which has by force usurped the public anthority and has destroyed public order in Moscow. Petrograd. and other parts of Russia. and Whereas said bureau Is supported by funds obtained from said Russian bolshevist organization. and is seeking to obtain possession and control of the several Russian consulates in the United States and to become recognized as the official representative of the Russian Goveminent in the United States. and Whereas said Martens and said Russian Soviet Bureau pretend to be seeking. on behalf of said bolshevist organization. trade relations with the United States. and Whereas said bolshevist organization under the domination of Lenin has pretended to abrogate the legal institution of private. property. without which contracts of sale and exchange and commercial rela.tions are Impossible. and Whereas- the institution of property Is an essential part of human liberty and is the fundamental concept of law. and Whereas no government Is fit to exist or to be recognized by the United States which does not acknowledge and legalize the institu. tion of property and provide legal process for the vindication of trespasses against property and for the enforcement of contracts with respect thereto. and Whereas commercial and political relations are impossible with a government which does not recognize the institution of property and the legality of contracts for trade and exchange and which does not give legal sanction to credits which arise In transactions of trade. and Whereas the olshevist organization of Russia. under the domination of said Lenin. professes principles which are inconsistent with the liberty and law of the United States and which are essentially anarchistic and despotic and without the pale of the law of nations. and Whereas it is Inimical to the Interests of the United States that aliens professing such principles and propagating the sam6 be permitted to be in the country: Now. therefore. be It Reesolvcd. That the Secretary of Labor be. and is hereby. directed to institute proceedings under existing law for the deportation from the United States of said Martens and other aliens employed with said socalled Russian Soviet Bureau in the city of New York. and all other aliens who are known to adhere to said socalled soviet or bolshevist organization.
