GERMANS SAY
S0VIETS HAVE
REBUILT RUSSIA
Visit Supreme Economic
Council at Moscow /

MOSCOW (By Mall great
swimming and rowing fete arranged
by the Moscow working youth took
place in the Moscow river in honor Of
the German workers delegation.
The delegation visited the supreme
economic council. the members OF
which answered the questions OF the
delegates upon the state Of the vari-
Gus branches of the peoples economy
in the Soviet Union.
At the close Of the discussion the
member Of the Presidium of the SUI
preme Economic Council, Manzev
pointed out how much the German
workers were interested in the quick
building up Of Soviet industry, for the
growing demand for machinery and
tools increases the volume of Soviet
purchases in Germany and contri-
butes to the betterment of the peo-
pies economy and the working class
in Germany. May the German work
ers after their return home do their
utmost to prevent the destruction OF
the political and economic relations
between Germany and the Soviet
Union by the intrigues Of various cap
italist groups.
In the name of the German dele
cation, Beck declared that the dele
gates had been convinced that the
Soviet power had not only rebuilt
economy after the general economic
collapse in consequence of the impe-
rialist and civil wars, but that it had
also laid the basis for the construction
of a socialist economy. The Russian
working class with much worse condi-
tions, had rebuilt its economy better
and more quickly than many a rich
capitalist land.

how it was that he came to use mi.
tials which were only usual in consul
circles, when he had previously de-
clared that he knew nothing of the

On the contention of Wolscht that
this was not correct, the chairman
read extracts from the protocol of the
examination in which Wolscht made
such statements, word for word, also

Connected With Foreign Office.
The witness Fink declared that upon
hearing the news of the arrest of
Kindermann and Wolscht, and after
learning of the nature of the accusa-
tions, he had done his best in Berlin
to procure proofs of the innocence of
the two. In particular he had attempt
ed to discover thru the foreign office
whether Kindermann had been an
agent Of the Berlin police presidium.
Upon the question of an assessor
why he had not directed himself to
the police presidium, the witness re-
piled that the Russian department of
the foreign Office would be better in
formed about the matter. The witness
further stated that before his Journey
to Moscow he had spoken with Am
bassador Brockdorff. Rantzau about the
process. Considerable stirring in the
court.)
To the question of the prosecutor,
what would he have answered had he
received the famous telegram, How
is Herr Gruenbaum?" Fink answered
without hesitation: 81 would have an
swered. 'Gruenbaum is well'" From
this unhesitating answer II was per.
fectly clear that Fink was well aware
of the text and the significance OF the
telegram. Later the witness in EN-.
barrassment attempted to withdraw
his first statement.
The chairman asked the witness
whether he had kept to the signed
arrangements and in particular wheth.

SPIES OF BULGARIAN WHITE TERROR
ATTEMPT TO RAILROAD COMMUNISTS
TO PRISON, ONE MURDERED IN JAIL

SOFIE, Bulgaria. August 13.-The
trial of the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Bulgarian Communist
Party is in process in tie District
Court in Sofia. All the members of
the Central Committee Of 1928 are
included in the indictment. Only
four prisoners will appear in the dock.
They have been confined for eighteen
months since the September rising
against the Zankov government. Two
others have died. One, Anton Iwanow,
is known to have been -torturned to
death in prison. Three members are
abroad but will be tried in their abb
sence.
The charge is attempting to over
throw the existing government. 1t is
recalled that the government launched
a nationwide campaign of raids and
Imprisonment on all radical elements
in Bulgaria on September 18th, 1928,
giving as a pretext that the Commun-
list Party issued a call for a rising on
September 10th.
The defense will show that these
raids constituted provocation and
were responsible for the armed con-
hict that followed them.

Then began the hearing of the wit

fascism in his external appearance.
The chairman asked the witness where
he had been on the previous evening
and the witness was compelled to adj
NIT that despite his written under
taking not to hold communication with
the other witnesses and in particular
not with the German embassy, he
had spoken for a half an hour at
o'clock in the morning in the doorway
of the German embassy, allegedly with
porter, for the alleged purpose Of
obtaining copies of German newspa-
pers with the reports OF the trial. The
prosecutor pointed out to the witness
that he could have obtained such

At first the witness refused to an

concerning his political opinions. FL
nally he declared himself to be left
democrat. Dittmar was known to him
as a Communist.
TO the question Of the chairman, had
he not been startled that the aristo-
cratic Won Dittmar, the son of lord
of the manor, had suddenly become
Communist, the witness replied that
this sudden change in the opinions of
the nobleman had made great i'm

tions he declared that he had sympa.

To the question, how was the stu

ness replied that on the one hand it
received state assistance and on the
other II received assistance from pri-
vate sources. He refused, however, to
give any information about the pri-
vate sources. He was not able to re-
member whether Ehrhardt under the
name of Ehrenburg took part in a dis
cussion at which Kindermann, Dit

present.

col of Kindermann made at the pre-

witness from the essence of the mat
ter. This made the proceedings very

"High Political Aims"
In the continued hearing the witness
Fink declared that the Indian pro-
fessor, Chairix, was to be taken with
the expedition because Kindermann
also had the intention of visiting Tur-
kestan and taking up connections with
India. The Indian Chairix would have
been able to attend to this. Chairix
had been expelled from India by the
English and was well known there.

their popularity with the people
had made a great impression
upon him.
The friendly relations existing be-
tween the workers in the shops and
the administrative personnel was re-
markable and unthinkable in present
day Germany.
Despite the difficult war years thru
which the Ukraine had passed, it did
not lag behind Russia in economic re-
construction.
The Ukrainian group of the delega-
ton addressed farewell letter to the
workers of Kharkov in which it
thanked them for their fraternal re-
ception of the delegation and ex-
pressed its recognition of the high
standard of living of the Ukrainian
working class.
The delegation further promised to
dispense the campaign of calumny
spread against the Soviet Ukraine in
Germany and expressed its conviction
of the real possibility for the estab-
lishment Of international working
class unity.
The Caucasian group Of the dele
cation is continuing its investigation
of the trade union and state organiza-
lions in the Caucasus. In Rostov on
the Don it visited various factories,

chinery, tobacco factory, a leather

toria.
It was present at a session Of the
trade union council of the Don dis
trict and afterwards undertook a sea
journey to Taganrog where it visited
the wharves and aeroplane factories.
In the evening the delegation left for
the Caucasian health resorts.

cording to its choice.

witness replied in the Affirmative.
The witness further replied in the
affirmative to the question of Dittmar,
had the conversation taken place in
the Borsig Strasse in the students
home with Dittmar and Johnson upon
the fascist Berlin-Munich courier serv-
ice. He added that he had not taken
these plans very seriously.
The accused Wolscht asked the wit
ness Rose if Michaelis was a member
Of the Organization Consul.

Wolscht put question to you which
presuppose on your side an intimate
knowledge of the internal organiza-
ton of the o. CT"
Wolscht asked Rose: "What attitude
would you take to your arrest in Mos
cow"
The chairman: "The question of the
arrest of Rose has never been con-
sidered by the court, the accused has
therefore no right to put such dis
honest questions which are nothing
but inselent provocation."

The chairman asked the witness if
he had undertaken any steps to carry
out the wish of Wolscht's father The
witness Fink declared that he had
made inquiries at the university as
to whether the corporation "Neomar-
CHA" still existed, as, however this
corporation was not mentioned on the
black list of the university, he had
held it's non-existence to be proved,
and thereupon he had stopped his in
quiries. Oaughter.)
To the question, "What was the ma,
ture of the various scientific connec.
tions of Kindermann in the Soviet
Union for the preparation of the ex-
pedition?" Fink replied that connec-
tions had been established with the
Universities of Moscow and Tomsk
and further with the Volga Germans
and with the woman president of the
Far Eastern republic, Arseniv. laugh
teri
The chairman pointed out that there
was neither such republic nor such
woman president. The statements
of Fink upon the scientific plans of the
expedition proved his active partici
patton in them, and also that the sci
entifc preparations we're only the
mask for another intent. This was
also proved by the fact that Fink con-
tradicted himself several times and
declared that Kindermann's aims in
Russia were chiefly political.
The prosecutor requested the wit
ness TO bear paragraph IT'S OF the or.
der for criminal processes dealing with
the duties Of witnesses, in mind.
Kindermann attempted by sug-
gestive questions to inform Fink Of
what had been previously stated in
court, particularly of the statements
of Dittmar and received sharp
warning from the chairman.
Wolscht asked Fink II the latter
had belonged to the organization con-
sui and in doing so used for the first
time the initials G. 0. c., whilst pre-.
viously only the initials o. c. had
been used in the court. The chairman
pointed this out and asked wolscht

Fink describes himself as left" and
declares that he sympathizes with the
Communists. He had, however, come
to Communism thru his theological
studies. (Laughter.) Fink admits all
the previously made statements upon
the technical preparation Of the expe-
dition. He denies, however, its terror
istic character. Cross-examination
proved, however, that he had taken
part in the discussions mentioned by
Dittmar
The accused Dittmar declared that
the witness Fink is known to him as
an old member of the Organization
Consul and that he took an active part
both in the preparations for the expe-
dition and in the working out of its
terroristic plans.
Referring to the statement of Kin
dermann that before his arrest in Mos
COW he had never heard of the Organi-
zation Consul, the witness Fink de-
clared that he also held it TO be i'm
possible and quite out of the question
that any German student could not
know of the existence OF the o. G..
Kindermann therefore is quite alone
in his contention among all the ac-
cused and the witnesses.
Questioned by the chairman upon
his characteristic discussion with Dit
mar and Wolscht upon the Berlin VIE
dendamm bridge. Fink became ex-
tremely uncomfortable. He declared
that he could no longer remember the
text OF the discussion. II was, how
ever, possible that Wolscht had jok-
ingly referred to three unusual Boil
sheviks." Questioned by the chairman
upon the letters which he had received
from the father OF Wolscht, Fink
eagerly presented a great number of
letters II was seen, however. that
he had forgotten" exactly that letter
in which the father OF Wolscht re-
quests him to discover the possible
