JACOB RUBIN HITS VANDERLIP

Declares Oil Man Is Press Agent for Lenins and Trotzky. London, Dec. 3. —Labeling Washington D. Vanderllp us a press agent for the soviet government at Moscow, Jacob Rubin, member of the American Social Democratic party, arrived at Stockholm after ten months in Russia. Rubin asserted that Vanderllp represnted himself to the Russian foreign office as Harding’s personal representative. Rubin said: “Vanderllp secured his contracts and concessions in consideration of his promise of propaganda for the soviets in America. Lenine. and Trotzky have been looking high and low for an advance agent to advertise their big show in the United States. Vanderllp thought he bluffed Lenine, but the latter really returned the compliment. In my opinion Vanderllp is doing more harm by misrepresenting facts In Russia than all the Bolsheviks In America. Since visiting Russia I have resigned from the Socialist .party.” When Vanderllp was shown Rubin’s statement he said: “It Is entirely false. It cannot be. denied too strongly. I never represented myself as the personal agent of Harding to anyone In Russia, or anywhere else. I never heard of Rubin ” /
