He directly denounced the central
committee by laying the responsibility
for a leaflet which was declared as
high treason, at the doors Of the cen

Further passages show that Maslov
utilized his differences with the
executive committee of the Commun-
ist International in order to clear him
self and that he declared that he had
been held back" in Moscow.
In contradiction to the printed in
structions of the party for political
prisoners, Maslov recognized the pro-
tocols and letters which were pres
ented to him by the police and by
the authorities, without question as
genuine, altho they were declared to
be false even by the non-partyman
Schumacher.
At the end Of this declaration it is
said that upon the basis Of those facts,
the fourteenth party congress OF the
Russian Communist Party and the
whole Comintern can judge that the
attitude of Maslov before the supreme
court was correctly characterized by
the resolution Of the German party
conference and by the decision OF the
international control commission as
being unworthy Of the leader Of re-
volutionary party. (Repeated shouts
of the delegates: ShameD
This declaration is signed in the

Party of Germany by Otto Kuehne
and Heinz Neumann.
After the reading OF the declaration
of the German Communist Party re-
in the executive commit
tee Of the Communist International,
the following declaration Of Lemin.
The daily worker., 1926-02-26

adse (Russian Communist Party) was
heard:
'The text of the following decision
of the international control commits
sion proves how unworthy the attitude
of Maslov before the supreme court
was. The decision was passed upon
November %, 1925: After seeing the
stenogram of the speech OF Maslov
before the court, the international
control commission is of the opinion
that his attitude was unworthy OF a
leader. II considers further that his
attitude is not reconcilable with his
attitude as party member and above
all not with his position as theological
leader of the party and as member Of
the central committee. The examina-
ton of the future party position OF
Maslov can only be decided when the
international control commission has
had an opportunity of hearing Maslov
personally.
Leminadse quoted also the follow
ing fact as characteristic OF the atti-
tude Of Maslov: in reply to a Com
munist motion in the Saxon Landtag
parliament for Saxony) for altera-
tions in the prison regime, and for an
amnesty for political prisoners, the
Saxon minister for justice read the
following extract from a latter of
Maslov written in prison: THE pris-
on work goes punctually and smooth
ly, and the prison officials are polite,
correct and obliging. This without
exception. | am amusing myself here
as well as II is possible under the ex-
listing opportunities, and always am
astonished at the discoveries made BY
our good friends in the press after
wards"
But this letter Maslov has damaged
the struggle OF the German workers
for an amnesty and for tightening
OF the hard labor prison regime. One
must be astonished that a revolution.
airy can make such statements about
the unbearable prison regime in Ger
many.

Masovs Stand in Court Repuad by German Delegation in Moscow

In the closing session of the Four
teenth Congress Of the Russian Com
munist Party, the secretary of the
presidium read a letter of Ruth Fis-
cher to the party congress in which
she declared that despite the fact that
she was present in Moscow it had
been made impossible for her to be
present at the congress and that there
fore she was compelled to deal with
the utterances of Manilsky and Lem
inadse in relation to the personal at
tacks upon Maslov, only later.
After Ruth Fischer had informed
the party congress that the party con-
ference of the German Communist
Party in October had made no final
and definite decision in the matter but
had transferred 1t to the executive
committee of the Communist Interna-
tional for decision, she declared fur
ther that the utterances of Manuilsky
and Leminadse upon the Maslov case
before the decision of the Comintern,
brot the matter into the open. Two
years OF Maslovs sentence are to be
wiped out. (The sentence was one Of
four years..
Ruth Fischer then declared: Il am
firmly convinced that the attitude of
Maslov before the bourgeois court was
not merely irreproachable, but an ex-
eellent representation of the Commun-
ist idea and the Communist Party. In
nv opinion the attacks upon Maslov
are caused by political motives with
the intention Of discrediting him per-
sonally." Ruth Fischer then men
toned q few facts which were alleg-
edly unknown to the party In general
and to the party conference OF the
German Communist Party, among
others. the fact that Maslov had
handed in a written disposition upon
his process and that Comrades
schlecht and Grileyitz were in agree
ment with all the statements Of Mas
low during the process. Ruth Fischer
closed with the declaration that "at
the trial Of Maslov there was no ques-
