MoSCoW-An article In the Pra
VIDA, official organ Of the Russian
Communist Party, entitled: German
Fasclsts before the Soviet TrlbunaP'
contains among other things the fol.
lowing relating the attempt Of three
German fasclsts to murder Soviet Of
flcials:
"The statements made by one OF the
three accused German faseists who
came here to assassinate prominent
personalities of the Soviet state and
Of the Communist Party, reveal the
ethics Of the monarchlst conspIrators
In such a light that the most phan.
tastic Communist imagination could
furnish no better arguments against
the bourseoisie.
How long has the German press
shouted in the attempt to prove that
the Moscow trial was a mere fabrica-
ton, and that the accused were not
fascists and white guards, but young
knights Of the spirit, young scholars

ders, where they are kept in prison.
and that only the Moscow Tchekists
could accuse these innocent scholars
of plans of assassination, knowledge
of poison and guns, conspiracy ana
other similar things.

1.-THE defendant Dittmar has shown
how hypocritical and false these wor-
ries of the German press are, espec.

conspiracies in Germany, spying
among the workers, penetration of
agents provocateurs into the Com
munist Party, service in the police
headquarters at Berlin, connections
with counts, barons, ETC., and with the
fascist organization "Consuls," bloody
repression of the revolutionary ap
tempts of the German proletariat, UNI
successful attempts to penetrate into
the Trading Representation In Berlin,
and finally the murderous trip to Rus
sia-all these are linfs of a chain OF
crimes committed by counter-revolu-
ltionary cliques who are soiled with
the blood Of the German people, and
who were about to shed the blood OF
the best men Of our Soviet country.
THE crimes these people commit.

that will be matter for the prole-
tartan tribunal of the German Soviet
Republic. Altho the clues lead close
to the gates of the Berlin police head
quarters, and to a series of promi-
nent personalities of the German oil
garchy, we are not disposed to make
historical attack on Germany.
I'VE weigh everything soberly, and
we know that there are deep-rooted
economic and political forces that
make us interested in friendly rela-
tons with the German Republic. We
must say openly however, that the
methods adopted by the fascists and
monarchists arouse the bitter indig-
nation and repulsion in our country.
Our people cannot tolerate such
things; and the court will, IL the

Britain are wont to do, nor with false

Soviet Has No Use for Agents.
Our courts have no use for insane
provocateurs such as Felix Neumann:
our courts prefer to operate with OBJ
jective data, with genuine documents
and dispositions, made not by agents,
but by persons who came here In the
service of the fascists. Our authori-
ties do not intend to attack the rem
resentation Of the German Republic.

social-democratic heads OF the police

everything soberly, and will decide
upon the punishment Of each defend.
