An editorial from the trade journal Textiles (August 1919) reprinting correspondence between the magazine and representatives of the Russian Soviet government's New York commercial office (A. A. Heller and Santeri Nuorteva). The Soviet side offered an article promoting export trade and a $200,000,000 gold deposit for purchases; the editor refused to publish it and answered with strongly anti-Bolshevik arguments. The piece also covers the June 1919 raid on the Soviet offices and the Lusk Committee hearing, and closes with a political call to oppose Bolshevism.
