BLACK CABINET

o., IN LITHUANIA
500 Communists Are
Jailed
Especial to The Daily wOrksr)


koVNo, Lithuanla, Dec. 20. - The
fascist coup that upset the socialist
coalition government of Llthuanla was
a military conspiracy under the lead
ership of the areh-reactlonary Anton
Smetona supported by the catholic
and nationalist parties. state Of
siege has been declared in kovno and
three hundred Communists and left
wing socialists are reported under
arrest.
The conspiracy had been brewing
for many months; secret bands Of
fascists had been drilling; army Of
ficers were being prepared; and the
influence of Great Britain was notice
ably at work in stirring UP the fascist
as means of weakening the recent
pact signed between Lithuania and
the Soviet Union.
Arch-Reactionary
Smetona was the first president of
Lithuania. He has been VIGOROUSLY
anti-Soviet from the beginning. In
the years he was president he did
much travelling abroad and became
intimately involved in the counter
revolutionary activity of the powers
and the Russian emigres.
Another cause for the revolution is
the fact that mass pressure on the
socialist coalition government that
superseded an ultra-reactionary one,
had resulted in certain let-up in per-
secution of Communists and left wing
trade unions and also resulted in a
stiffened policy towards the fascist
bands that had run wild under the
previous government. These facts
coupled with the Soviet treaty de-
termined the fascist upon the coup
which won easily over the vscillating
social-democratssin the government,
Black Cabinet.
President Grenius is under arrest
and a thoroly reactionary cabinet
formed. The present cabinet of cath
oIics and fascist have the support
only of the large landowners and the
big capitalists of the cities. The mass
es of workers and peasants are entire
ly without sympathy for the present
coup The activities of the Commun-
lists have been redoubled despite the
fact another reign of terror has been
unleashed against them.
Charge Graft.
The left elements who have been
thrown out of the government by the
coup charge that the conspiracy is
the result of ruse on the part of
the fascist to cover up large amounts
of graft that certain of their mipi-
sters are responsible for both in the
old government prior to last May and
in the present fascist cabinet.
