 By Soviet

BUENOS AIRES, May go. - How the police of Argentina, before the date set for the Communist revolu- tion" in combination with the recent general strike here, outwitted the reds and prevented the uprising has just been revealed to the Associated Press correspondent.
 Radical elements, mostly Of foreign extraction, had planneE the reign of terror for the same day on which the Kapp revoluttcT in Germany began. | If the ambitious plans of the con- munists for murder and pillage had | succeeded, the city would have been in control of a government of the Bolshevik soviet variety. backed by Red army
 The police, who had learned of the plot long in advance, however, on the night before the revolution was to take place, descended upon the com munist resorts, arrested nearly 200 men and women and confiscated sev- eral arsenals of bombs, arms and am- munition. together with large quanti- ties of anarchistic literature. The government. it developed, sent detectives among the communists, some of whom joined their organiza- tion and actually helped to manufac- ture the bombs with which the reign of terror was to be started. They also obtained secre. circUldfS s.s,:S:g instructions as to how the revolution was to be accomplished.
 The communists, it is alleged. form ed part of labor organization known as The Fifth Congress of Anar- chism" which some time ago separat. ed from the Argentine Federation of Labor. and which is supposed to con trol number of unions.
 Instructions had been issued by the communists fixing the date of the revolution for Saturday afternoon, March 13. Groups were assigned Lo destroy public services, electric lights and water plants. railroads, telephones and telegraphs and others were assigned to explode bombs in public places, sefze military stores and assassinate judges and police of ficers. The pfotters planned to place the city under control of a central soviet committee"
 Being fully aware Of all these plans the government authorities on the night before the date set for the rev olution stationed troops at all places threatened. The police then raided the communist plants and captured 8 complete bomb Factory and large assortment of arms and ammunition.
 All was done quietiy but the people of Buenos Aires soon realized that they had escaped a real danger when | photographs of the collections of death dealing implements were pub lished in the newspapers and the DO lice revealed the illustrated plans.
 Squads of mounted police armed with rifles appeared in the streets for several days after the raids. Three radical unions struck and there was an unsuccessful attempt to blow up a railro/d bridge and a surburban tramline was forced to suspe.is. sssr til soldiers arrived to protect the cars from attack on conductors and mo- tormen.
 | The city. however. is now quiet. waiting with interest the trial of the alleged anarchists. 23 of whom have been sifted out as ringleaders Only nine of them are native Argentines.
 Socialist newspapers blame profi- teers for the unrest here landlords having trebled rents in many cases and the price of bread having been | increased.
