EASY-MARKS - by | When the estate of Russell Sage disclosed mil- lions of dollars in wholly worthless securities, the average man was amazed. Mr. Sage had been held as the pre-eminent example, almost personi- fication of safety-first in investments. Yet the salesmanship of a goodly number of persons had proved superior to.his supposed, armor of unsym- pathetic -shrewdubsbsand;thoroughness. He had |been sold’ many ai wildcat! scheme. Now‘ a considerable industrial group of Amer- ican confess they were sold a Soviet gold brick by Ludwig C. A. K. Martens, who posed here as the ambasshdor of. the Soviet government and who finally got tangled in the police web as a political propagandist. He was not only “ambassador,” | but business agent. He ‘claimed to have a large fund of gold at his cothmand’ with which to pur- chase American materials and products. If only ‘this government would recognize the Soviets or} ‘even legalize trade relations, all this wealth would be poured out in contracts. | Many wondered at the support he got. Now that is clear. He flim-flammed a number of promi-! nent industrial concerns. He got the hard-headed, | trained business men, heads of large industries, to even finance his activities here. He let contracts in the millions, but instead of making partial pay- ments on them he got,advances from them. He got these astutc, practical men of affairs to sup- ply him with funds while claiming to be master of a great hoard of Soviet gold. In return they got the contracts. The Lehigh Machine company of Pennsylvania got one for $4,- 500,000 for printing machinery and its president finally followed Mr. Martens to Russia for. per- ;sonal information. He got it, and that no others may have his experience, he now states that the Soviet heads are just “plain crooks.” It would be interesting to hear him and Senator France dis- cuss the Russian situation.. The senator was in Moscow for about a week as the personal guest of the Soviet government.
