asked.
A typically Russian beginning. In
terviews go best with dinner. Every
Russian knows that. And the first
Soviet minister to be received any
where in America is very much a
Russian, even tho he was born Pole.
Anyway, he is like the Russians l
know-but that may just be because
he is a Communist-an old Bolshevik,
with a party card in his pocket dating
from 1902.

zANKOV'S FOES .
ARE SLAIN IN
BULGAR Pens
Reds Die Fighting
Rather Than Surrender

VIENNA, April 26-SeveraI prom
inent leaders Of the agrarian party,
including former cabinet ministers In
the stambouIisky government have
been murdered by ZankoV in the past
few days. Hundreds Of prisoners have
been assassinated in prisons. The
exact count Of the murdered is not
yet known but Il is reported that it
runs into thousands.
The government is making arrests
Unfortunately. Italians, French and
German workers are seized and
thrown into prison on the merest sus-
picion of being Communists. All the
news coming out of Sofia is censured
and is pure Zankov propaganda. Tho
some of the correspondents might like
to send out, the truth a pistol at the
temple is liable to cause modiflca-
tion of the best of intentions.
Fighting To The End
Several Communist leaders have
defended themselves in their homes
and died bravely rather than sur
render to torture and inevitable death.
The bravery of the Communists has
excited the admiration of even their
enemies and the current of public
feeling is running strongly against
the murder regime. But for the action
of the allied governments in allow.
ing zankov to increase his army by
1000, his government would have
gone down by now
That there is considerable disatis-
lection in the army is proven by the
number Of military executions that
have taken place during the past few
days. officers have been charged with
attempting to blow up buildings and
get away with airplanes, with the in
tention of bombing the city.
The king of Bulgaria is reported
to be ready to flee into Roumania at
the frs opportunity but is a prison
er in his own palace.
Made Big Impression
ssefhe statement issued by the British
labor members of parliament has
made a great impression on the con
tinent and has brought down heavy
attack on the heads Of the British
labor movement by the capitalist and
socialist press The socialists are
very angry. They claim that ever
since the British trade union dele.
cation visited the Soviet Union, the
labNy movement of Britain is the tool
Of Soviet Russia. That the British
workers are playing a strong hand
on the continent on the side Of the
best interests of the revolutionary
movement is undoubtedly true. ~
Reports reached here that insur-
rections have broken out in several
parts Of Bulgaria ana that the gov
eminent is not able to control the
workers and peasants who have been
driven to desperation by the reign
Of terror.

AS WE SEE 1T

ONE whole page of last Saturdays
~ issue of the Chicago Tribune was
devoted to anti-Communist propagan-
da, thru the medium of lying dispatch
es from abroad The stories came
from Paris, Sofia and Rome. The
Paris liar gave a report of debate
in the French chamber over the fight
ing between Communist and fascist,
during which three of the latter were
killed. OF course, the Tribune cor
respondent gave the fascist speakers
lots of space and only bare few lines
TO the Communist spokesman.
THE Sofia correspondent of the Tri-
4 bune is the notorious prevaricator
Ramona Fendrick, who wanders
around the Balkans seeking what he
can twist to suit his paymasters. He
represented the Zankov government
as defenders of public order and de-
clares that the country is apparently
normal" Perhaps, it's quite normal
from his point of view to slaughter
Communists at the rate of fifty day.
This has been the record Of the Fan
kov government according to a report
OF labor members of the British par
lament.
