SIMET ACTON (Continued From First Page.) Resents | Government of Soviet money brings up new problems. i The Comptrolier of the Treasury has been notified of the actual situa- tion and a request has been made of the Treasury Department officials to withdraw permiasion to deal jn Soviet money untii there is established some standard of value of that money. Quick action is necessary because, 80 farus The Evening World ia informed, the State Banking Department of New York !s the only State Banking Department that has refused to al- low institutions under {ts supervision to deal in Soviet paper money. So- called private bankers, brokers and exchange dealers in other States have virtually been given'a Federal license to soll to Russians and Russian Jows here paper money that has practically no value in the country where it is printed. The Comptrolier of the Treasury has been informed that, acbording te statements made to The Evening World by persons familiar with the inside of the astonishing field of graft opened up by the Federal Govern- ment, the real object of the persons who procured the ruling of the Treas- ury and State Departments was not to ald American commerce. Their Purpose, this newspaper is told, is twofold: Firet—To aid the Soviet Gov- ernment with American money. Becond—To make exorbitant Profits by selling paper rublee— or exchange based on paper ru- bles—to millions of Russians and Russian Jews in this country are actually throbbing with anx- jety to ald starving, freezing rel- atives and friends in Russia. ¢ The Evening World is told that an Investigation by the Treasury De- partment, vigorously conducted, would probably establish that the Boviet Government of Russia—which this Government does not recognize— is really responsible for the removal of restrictions on trading in Soviet rubles. Beyond any doubt certain organizations which are now active li preparation for degling in Soviet rubles are in sympathy with the | money to be forwarded, under camou- flage, to Lenine and Troteky. As to the supposed Interests of Américas commerce which are to be served by recognition of the money of @ government which is not recog- nized by the United States as a Gov- ernment, The Evening World has, as authority that such interests cannot be served, the leading financial insti- tutions of New York. It is only nee- ensary to quote the following from the financial columns of the New York Tribund to show that the order of the Federal Reserve Bank, issued by and with the authority of the Treasury and State Departments, is of no effect in respect of American commerce or American finance. The Tribune says: “Removal of the Treasury Depart- ment’s ban wpon dealings in Russian exchange resulted in no change in the status of Russian rubles in this market.
