Martens and the soviet dictatorship of Russia were even "appropriating large sums of money to stir up insurrection by force of arms against the United States." Secretary Wilson can not be charged with prejudice against labor or labor organizations or liberal political or economic movements. He stands at the head of one of the executive arms of the Government and has full opportunity to ascertain what industrial or political movements are abroad in the land. His department is charged with enforcing the emigration laws. and he thus becomes acquainted with aliens among us and their activities. industrially or in groups. We thus have a high official of the Government charging. after full investigation. that the bolshevists of Russia have plotted for the destruction of the United States. It is a novel principle In international law. and one that is not likely to be generally accepted. that a newly established military dictatorship In one country may capitalize the traditional friendship of another country for its people by making a pretense of wanting to establish friendly relations with the Government at the same time that it is seeking to destroy it by stirring up Insurrection.
