Soviet leader says Bolsheviks left world alone
Ludwig Martens, self styled Soviet ambassador before a Senate committee, said Soviet Russia no longer pursues worldwide revolution. He claimed the regime is strong enough to fight the world and has abandoned its earlier goal of destroying governments that recognize capital and property. He testified under oath, denied directing American movements, and said Soviet aims now focus on foreign trade with $450 to $500 million in gold and about 1,000 American firms ready to sell goods. The hearing adjourned to Thursday for Martens to review records.
