Ambitious capitalists like Washington D. Vanderlip, who dream of trading with Russia in terms of three-billion dollar contracts, must have been shocked at the decision of the United States to deport Ludwig Martens, so-called Ambassador of the Russian Bolshevist Government. When all that was lacking to complete Mr. Vanderlip's gigantic deal was this country's official recognition of the Soviets, the Government blasts all hope of tapping the mythical gold-mine in Russia by ejecting the Bolshevist Ambassador.

The question with the United States is wholly economic, which is unlike England's case, if we are to believe the report that Great Britain enters into...
Speaking to 600 men in the Living Room of the Union last evening, Mr. Frank A. Vanderlip expressed the opinion that the trade conditions of the world are now in a most critical predicament and that if stoppage of trade and resultant starvation is to be averted strenuous measures must be taken at once to start commerce moving more freely and rapidly; he claimed that the future of this country is thus so closely related economically to the future of the rest of the world that the United States must assume a more friendly international attitude and enter some league...
