HEAD OF BOLSHEVIK
PROPAGANDA IN U. S,
He is S. Nourteva, Friend of
Trotzky; His Office on
Broadway
DENIES RECEIVED . ,
$400,000 BY SOVIETS

Says Customs Stopped $10,
000 "Which May Have
Come From Russia."
In Northern Russia are United
States troops sent there to protect
Russians from the Red guard of the
Rolshcviki. From time to time accounts
have come to this country of
their battles with Bolshevik forces.
At No. 229 Broadway, in New York
City, is an office from which is car- j
lied on throughout the United States
a propaganda in behalf of Soviet Rus'
sia. This propaganda is a frank alt(
mpt by its director to present the]
Russian Soviets in a favorable light
and convince America that they
should t>e recognized as Russia's offi t
cial Government. I
The director is S. Nourteva, a Finn,
n member of the Finnish Sociali t
Party, which brought about the Finnish
revolution la. t January, a frien 1
of Trotzky am! the Authorized head
of the inform"ition bureau of the
Finnish Reds.
Works Yhroi gh The Press.
According to information wliich
Nourteva gave yesterday to a report*ei,
his work, which, began in ! ehalf of
the Finns and war. ex pa ided to include
t^e ilolsheviki after large num. J
bers of Finns bad fled to Moscow, iearried
on through English newspapers.
Of these, he says, he has a
list of sixty or seventy wliich have
i 1:? 1. 1
iuv? t tuv niiuimatiwis lie iias supplied.
In New York City, he says,
ho has been most successful in gettins
it in the New York Call, a Socialist
daily.
The information comes in part in
the form of documents got out by the
Soviets and brought into the United
States by travellers who have left
Russia through neutral countries.
He denies that he received the
$400,000 reported sent here recently
by the Russian Soviets for propagan
da purposes, hut admits that the
customs officials have prevented him
sent to him l'rom Sweden by the Finnish
revolutionists, and that "it is |

ers, who themselves are deprived of
oil means of activity and who ave in
close accord with the Russian S >vi; t,
have rec'-ivod the money from Rus
sians."
Brou ht b> New*paper Man.
Mr. Nourteva said the money wa.
4 *
bi ought from Sweden by an American
newspaper man who told American
representatives in Sweden abou
his errand in this respect. On his ar
rivai the newspaper man, whosi
name Mr. Nourteva would not give,
showed the drafts to customs officers,
with the result that he war. deprived
of them. Mr. Nourteva is. sti'l
wondering whether the United States
Government is going- to let him
have the money.
"I hope," he said yesterday, "thai
the draft.4: will be delivered to me
for I can see no legal reason for denying1
me that right. An official toh
me that the money might have com'
from the Russian Bolsheviki. I onl;
Know that by me it will be expendc
in a perfectly legitimate work of tell
ing the truth about Finland and inci
dentally about Russia,*
"I do not regard it as impossibl
that the Russian Soviet Governmen
nnght have tried to send sums o
money for publicity work about th
Russian Soviets, but it is altogetho
inconceivable to me why this shoul
be regarded as an awful crime.
"There are Russian groups in Air
erica who have in their possessioi
without anybody harrassing then
tens of millions of dollars, which ai
being freely expended in an ins idiot
lying propaganda, aimed to poise
the minds of the American people t
as to embroil America in war wi1
Russia. Why should it bo enmin
for the Russian Soviet to tell its sit
of the issue, and for that purpose
expend funds

Blame for the failure to deliver
this mail was placed on the war department
by Mr. Praeger, who again
explained that the army authorities
handle all soldiers' mail in France,
! the postoffice department delivering
outgoing mail at Hoboken and reI
ceiving returning mail at the French
i ports.
Mr. Praeger said one way to improve
conditions overseas would he
I to send a force of experienced mail
clerks to France to deliver the mail
I to the soldiers.
Members of tlio committee sought
t > ascertain whether there was any
delay at French ports in handling
mail coming to this country.
Not at Ports.
"The trouble docs not lie at the
ports," declared Mr Praeger. "It
lies iii the interior. The mail gets
tied up somewhere between armv
' < adquarters. censors and the ports."
Mr. Praegev told the committee
or ? reason for the confusion in the
dc livery of mail to soldiers was the
failure of the war departmtcnt to
keep up its index system. This same
cause, he declared, also was responsible
for the department's delay in
s< nding out allotments to soldiers
and in reporting casualties.
Another source of" delay in delivering
mail promptly, he added, was
the transferring of units of troops
from one point to another, but he
said this should cause only a few
days' delay as the mail could readily

Asked what facilities the war department
has for handling mail, Mr.
Praegcr said about 50 experienced

overseas while the rental ndi r
of the necessary force for this work
was made up of inexperienced men.
The second assistant postmastcv
general appeared before the committee
to urge an appropriation of $8,000,000
for the maintenance and development
of^tl^e aerial mail service.

this service and declared extensive

planning the establishment of an air .

Extension of the present air mail

In addition it is also proposed to .

and Omaha, via Chicago and Boston,
with Detroit through Albany and .
Buffalo. Establishment of these
routes, he said, would cost $2,0114,000,
while he estimated the revenues ,
would total $2,050,125. j
Replying to questions of senators, |
Mr. Praeger said, relative to the cost ,
of operating the air mail service between
Washington and New York v
during the last six months was $75,- ]

and recapture of the Silcsian

here from Rerliru The street

violent nature. Many bodies are

The fighting in the newspaper

The Spartuvan trenches in the j

many were killed or wounded.

Washington* ? Recommendation
that the United States take the initiative
in formulating: an international
program of agricultural production
ft r the entile world to forestall a
i possible serious shortage of food,
feed and fiber in the next few year^
was made to the department of agriculture
by the commission sent to
Kurope last fall by the department
to study conditions there.
The commission said -conditions
found in England, France and Italy
j indicated a strong demand for staple
agricultural products of this country
such as wheat, meat, sugar, cotton
and wool and that prices "will be
steady and at high level" if there
is reasonable provision for shipping
facilities and a cooperative effort or
the part of the allied governments U
organize for production and distri
bution.
"All countries involved in war wil
at once become increased consumer
when government restrictions upoj
food arc relaxed," the commission d<
clared. "The general situation view
ed from the standing point of tlv
American fanner would appear fo
a reasonable period to be both prom
ising and hopeful.
