BOLSHEVIK AGENT DEPORTED

LONDON, July 16. According to the Daily Herald, Scotland Yard arrested Nuerteva, secretary of the Bolshevik Bureau at New York, who recently came to London in ; connection with the Canadian Govern-

ment trade negotiations with Russia. The British deported Santeri Nuerteva, and the American Soviet Bureau consequently announced the provisional cancellation of a six million dollar deal

for raw materials from Canada, which Nuerteva negotiated, subject to his arranging a financial deal in London. The authorities regard the story of the Canadian transactions as a mere blind, covering purely Bolshievik purposes.

NEW YORK, July 17. The Russian Soviet Bureau announces that it has notified a Montreal concern that contracts for six million

dollars' worth of supplies for Soviet

Russia will be cancelled if England deports Nuerteva, secretary to Martens, the unrecognised Soviet Ambassador to the United St&tee.
