speaking, he deceived me. He knew

and more towards Communism. He
never said a word about his counter
revolutionary plans.
When, after an extensive trip over
Soviet Russia, came to Germany in
March, 1921, and visited Abramovichs
house there, became aware Of my
error. BY this time Abramovich had
published two or three copies of his
notorious "Sozialistichesky Vestnik."

received any money either from the
Soviet government>or from the Com
munist Party" However, in 1920, the
money to be received from the gov
eminent entered as an item into his
calculations made in my presence.
The question is when was Abramovich
lying; in 1920 when he borrowed
money from me, or in 1925 when he
wrote his open letter? (The money
has not been returned up to now.)

he was loyal opponent, not an enc
my of the workers and peasants re-
public. He lived then on a payok
food ration given to him by the
Soviet government. He told me he
worked in some kind of Soviet insti-
tuition and therefore received a pro-
fessor's payok-a privilege enjoyed by
very few in Moscow. Immediately
after my arrival in Moscow, in the
very first few days, he began telling
me that he was going to Germany to
do work for the Soviet government.
He had worked in Vienna in 1894
in a patent bureau, and considered
himself specialist in patent ques-
tons. We did not discuss the spe-
cific kind of work he was to carry
out for the Soviet government, but
that he was being sent abroad and
that he was to do work for the Sow
let government In Germany. He re-
iterated several times both alone with
me and in the presence of his wife.
More than once he made calculations
showing that he was short Of funds.

conception of Communism and the
Communist International. These are
facts on public record, and it is un-
necessary to repeat them. Abramo-
vich's insinuation will not mislead
even his backward readers. His pres
ent letter, however, throws a lurid
light on his own personality, and it
is therefore that l am compelled to
say few words about it.

since Abramovich started this story,
it is necessary to make the facts
known.
Here are the facts. When came
to Moscow in 1920. Abramovich char
acterized himself as a left winger, al
most Communist. He told me he
was even in favor of his party mem
bers joining the Red army in order
to combat the counter revolution.
When l asked him why. he would not
do Soviet work under the leadership
of the Soviet government, as did, for
instance, the famous philosopher and
economist Bogdanoff, who was not
member OF the Communist Party, he
explained to me that he would not be
accepted. For this he blamed the
Communists, who, he said, had poll
teal grudges against him. He per-
sonally made believe he was friend.
At the time of my arrival in Moscow,
the Bundist Liber-Goldman was in
Jail. Abramovich told me he dis
agreed with Liber. Later when Liber
was freed. met him in Abramovich's
house. Liber sensed in me friend
of the Soviet system, and therefore
looked daggers at me. When he left
the house, Abramovich told me that
he was nearer to the Communists
than to Liber, and that Liber accused
him Of being a Bolshevik. In short,
Abramovich made the impression that

Poland.
WARSAW-Two brothers OF Karl
Radek, Afanasy and vassili, have
been sentenced by the Polish authori-
ties to six months in Jail apiece
without any charges being brought
against them.
The two Radeks had been dis
charged from the sugar plant in Rev
no where they had been working and
were on their way back to their
home village, when they were halted
and arrested by the government au-
thorities. The government had moth.
ing against them-besides the fact
that they were Karl Radek's brothers,
of course-beyond the vague suspic-
ion that they might be intending to
cross the border to Soviet Russia.
The first sentence was three months
and a fine of 500 zloti, but since the
brothers could not pay the fine the
sentence was changed to six months.
comrade Josef Skrzypa, Commun-
list deputy in the Polish parliament,
speaking in the name OF the Com.
munist fraction, demanded the release
OF the Radeks, and the prosecution of
the authorities responsible for their
arrest.
