Deem More Terror Necessary

Vladivostok, Feb. 81 JMaiD-There
has been great change among the
political representatives of the gov
eminent. Practically all the old com :
missars have been removed and a
new lot. with stricter ideas, have
been sent here from Moscow. One of
the late arrivals said the government
deemed this measure necessary in
order to bring. little of the terror
into the district and to impress the
people with the strength of the gov
ernment. This they think necessary
as the working classes of the district
have not had to undergo all the hard
ships which their fellow countrymen
in Russia have lived through and are
therefore inclined to be more indie
pendent.
