According , to the State department
memorandum, Martens, even if not
a communist member, is identified
through the soviet government with
the scheme to promote revolution in
this and other countries. v
' The program of the Russian
communist party." the memorandum
says, "is one of world revolution,
and the communist international is
avowedly the directing and co-ordinating
center ofthe international
revolutionary movement to establish
a "world soviet republic." It is im
possible to differentiate between the
world policies of the third ' interna
tionale party or the communist in-
ternationale and the Soviets, because
of the system of 'interlocking di
rectorates' common to all three."
