YOUNGEST SOVIET
REPUBLIC ROUSES
CAPITALIST FEAR
Moldavia Under Work
ers Menaces Roumania
BY M. A. sKRoMNY.

The youngest Socialist Soviet Re
public is that of MoIdavia. It is COM
posed of that part Of Bessarabia
which Roumania has not been able
to grab, altho it tried hard.
At the last congress of the all
Ukrainian Soviets, in accord with the
general policy of the Soviet govern
ment, national autonomy was granted
to Moldavia, and Moldayian So
cialist Soviet Republic was pro-
claimed.
The new republic has population
Of about 100000. One-half Of the
population is composed of Moldav-
ians, the rest being divided into ma
tional minorities, such as Ukrainians,
Russians, Jews and Bulgarians. IL is
bordered on the West by Roupmania
and on the East by Ukrainia.
Brings Fear to Robbers.
The formation Of the new republic
brot fear into the hearts Of the Rou-
manian robbers, and hope to the
hearts of the unwilling subjects of the
Roumanian king in Bessarabia. The
capitalist press in Roumania, and its
friends abroad are fretting with foam
at their mouths.
The Adeverul, the most influential
capitalist paper in Roumania, views
with great alarm the formation of the
new republic. 1T is threat to Rou-
mania," cries the capitalist mouth
piece. ut is an attempt to annex
Bessarabia to this new republic, but
just the opposite may happen" threat
ems this sheet.
The Chicago Daily Tribune in a
cable from Vienna reports that "the
Roumanian military authorities have
the situation well in hand and are
watching closely for any signs of ac-
tivity across the Dniester which might
indicate Soviet attacks"
After seven big Bessarabian villages
such as Tatarbunary, Nikolaievka,
etc, have been destroyed by artillery
fire, and hundreds of peasants have
been massacred by the Roumanian
military authorities, they may at
least temporarily be able to watch
the other side"
Workers Watching.
But the workers and peasants of
Bessarabia are also watching the
other side" where there is no king,
no pomieschik (rich land owner), and
where one may use his own Ian
guage even in government institu
lions.
After the numerous Instructions
in Bessarabia the Roumanian authori
ties prohibited the use of the Russian
language even in the streets. AS Il
was already reported in the DAILY
WORKER out OF the ten newspapers
printed in Bessarabia in the Russian
language nine have been closed by
the government. Russian schools
have also ben closed. At the same
time leaders Of the labor unions are
being arrested and deported.
Like Revolutionary Torehlieht.
Under such conditions 1t is a ques.
ton how long the military authori-
ties will have the situation we'll in
hand.

Republic on the other side of the
