Transcript	Radical agitation in this country, with its resultant social unrest, is not due to economic conditions, but to an organized, artificially stimulated movement under the inspiration of the Russian Soviet Government. This opinion will be submitted to the New York Legislature in an exhaustive report by the Joint Legislative Committee which has been investigating radical activities here since its organization last May, it was learned today. (New York Evening Post, December 9, 1919.) As it happened, a statement from United States Attorney General Palmer on the same subject appeared in the Times of the same day. Mr. Palmer said: It is clearly recognized that the present unrest and tendency towards radicalism arise from social and economic conditions that are of greater consequence than the individual agitator. Perhaps the most absurd fabrication in the Lusk Committee's record was the statement made to the press by Deputy Attorney General Samuel A. Berger in the middle of November, 1919: Ludwig Martens is here as an enemy of the United States, as the agent of conspirators in Russia who are planning to bring about a bloody revolution in this country and destroy its government by force. ("The Truth About the Lusk Committee," p. 30.) The New York Tribune, on November 18, 1919, published a headline that ran across the entire front page in bold type. It said: "MARTENS ADMITS LENIN SENT HIM TO OVERTHROW U. S." The news account below was a story of Mr. Martens' testimony before the Lusk Committee the day before. Not a word in the entire account supported the headline assertion. The nearest approach was the following: "Isn't it a fact that in stating its wishes to overthrow the capitalist system, the Soviet Government wishes to overthrow all capitalist governments?" asked Mr. Stevenson. "That is their wish. They wish to change from the capitalist to the Socialist system," answered Mr. Martens. "How do they expect this change to come about?" "The change mav come -by pur^Y VVn^n means, or it may come through a bitter struggle. They do not care how it is done." This is a sample of the cordial cooperation which the press gave to the Lusk Committee in its campaign to discredit Mr. Martens and, through him, the government he represents. The headline distorted a perfectly simple, truthful statement 19
