HOUSE ASSASSINS
OF COMMUNISTS
IN SOVIET PRISONS
Yet No Persecution Is
In Evidence
BY ]. LOUIS ENGDAHL.
Especial to The Daily Worker.)

MOSCOW, u. S. S. r. (By MaiD.-
One must wonder at the extreme len
iency of the Soviet Power, in dealing
with it's worst enemies, as the facts
pile up mountain high on visit to
the Lefortovsky Isolator here is Mos
COW.
We visited the former counter-rev-
dictionary general, at one time the
czarist prince, Uchtomsky, in his cell.
For time he threw the support Of
some Of the Don Cossacks to the eff
forts Of Kolchak to overthrow the
workers and peasants power in ST.
IBERIA. The blood of many are upon
his hands.
In another cell we found the pro-
lessor, Kuzminsky, who openly boast
ed when questioned, "Why are you
here?" that, ooh, l killed some Com
munists.n The wolf thirst for blood,
in this case human blood, the blood
Of workers and peasants, was still
in his face.
I have already told Of the Czecho-
Slovak spy, Hora, keeper Of the pris-
on cooperative store, but there was
also the czarist agent provocateur,
cog in the vast czarist police system
before the revolution, quite aged now.
Here he was the leader in the radio
circle.
There were others Of the same
brand, bitter enemies of the Work
ers' and Peasants Rule, constituting
about four per cent of the 3S1 in
mates, while 70 per cent were held
here for serious charges of robbery
or similar offenses, with 26 per cent
under lighter charges Of robbery and
other crimes. Some were murderers.
1t is not stretching the facts to
charge that Abraham Cahan, the edi-
tor of the New York Jewish Daily
(Socialist) Forward, hates and fights
the Soviet Power more viciously than
this general of the counter-revolu-
tion, Uchtomsky, whose record is no
torious. Uchtomsky was taken pris-
oner in 1919, sentenced to death, but
later the sentence was committed to
10 years Imprisonment. This case is
not unusual. Uehtomsl1y was part of
that vast power that the Versailles
"peace" bandits sought to develop to
overthrow the Soviet Power. Thou
sands, even tens Of thousands of
Communists and Communist sympa-
thizers, were murdered by the forces
led by such as Uchtomsl1y, not to
mention the horrible deaths melted

when taken prisoners. Yet here he
was, one of the worst of the czarist
foe, passing his time between the
writing of his memoirs, without in
reference of any kind, and acting as
the prison bookkeeper, probably the
only useful work he has ever done
in his life.
Uchtomsky had a cell all to him
self. 1t is quite large, airy and COM
Portable, in fact, turnout this whole
"house of correction" there is none
of that revolving prison odor that
pervades every American prison and
Jail. He had cot to sleep on, with
plenty of pillows, according to the
best Russian practices, symbols of
past splendor There was a picture
on the wall-the picture of cavalry
charge. with sabers held high by hard
riding horsemen. Yes, he could speak
French. But he refused to utter a
word in that language. He spoke
German and Russian and the tenor
Of his remarks were that he was be-
ing treated much better than he

charges that the Americans were

proof that the much Wanted enmity

Moros should be taken away from
Philippine jurisdiction, was being in
tensified by American militarists
themselves.

Major Johnson, Infatuated by the
testimony of Moro chieftain that

Persecutes Communists.

3. Although the fascist regime of
the dictator Pilsudsky persecutes all
propaganda and the whole press of
the Communist Party, and not merely
that, but even the radical "Indepen-
dent Peasants Party" and the radical
national White Russian organization
"Hromada" Although these two
Parties which until quite recently
were perfectly legal, are now illegal
and prosecuted, just as the Commu-
mist Party and their members Of par
| lament are prosecuted and flung into
| prison, and even quite bourgeois po-
fish papers continually suffer from
the coufiscation Of their issues by the
Censor, it is noteworthy that the
propaganda and the press Of the
Russian white guardist groups enjoy
absolute freedom.
4. With regard to the breach be-
tween Great Britain and the Soviet
Union, the Polish press wrote that
Poland would remain neutral But
since then, the Pilsudsly organs have
begun to write that the Soviet Union
is not keeping its undertakings under
the Treaty Riga. The fact is of
course, that the Polish anti-soviet
front has been strengthened by the
recent loan of 65 million dollars
negotiated with Great Britain. This
loan is to be followed by further in
vestments chiefly in the war indus
tries and for the extension Of the
strategic lines.
5. AS soon as Pilsudsky seized
power he began to reorganize the
army in order to make it ready for
war in the least possible space of
time. To-day, the army in Poland is
regarded as on a war footing or very
nearly so. Pilsudsky also furthered
the development of the war industry.
Following upon the renewal Of the
Anglo-French Entente Cordiale, the
I Polish anti-soviet front has become
stronger and more stable than ever.
/ All talk of the readiness Of Poland to
! conclude a treaty of neutrality and
non-aggression with the Soviet
Union, cannot conceal the fact that
under the leadership of Great Britain,
Pllsudsky IS working together with
the Rumanian General Staff for war
against the Soviet Union. All such
talk is solely intended to mantle the
feverish preparations for war.
Polish Army Aids Murder.
6. When all these facts are taken
into consideration coupled with the
hostile agitation of the Russian
guardists and the Polish supporters
of Pilsudsky against the Soviet
Union. then one can see that the bull
let's which killed the Soviet Ambassa-
dor to Poland, comrade Voikov, were
aimed by Great Britain with the sup
port Of the Second Division Of the
General Staff of the Polish Army.
This murder is the opening accord
TO the war which is in preparation.
In all probability it will be followed
by armed raids Of the Balachov and
Petlura bands under the direction Of
the Polish General Staff upon Soviet
territory, or even direct military
operations against the Soviet Union.
The danger Of war is drawing closer

PILSUDSKI AIDS
TORIES IN FIGHT
ON SOVIET UNION
Supports White Bandits
Sejm Member Charges

WARSAW, June 9. (By Mail) ~
That Russian monarchist bandits are
being subsidized in Poland by the
British for the purpose Of espionage
In the Soviet Union and for raids on
the border districts of the U.S.S.R.,
and that this campaign is carried on
with the full consent Of the Pilsudsh
dictatorship, is pointed out in a
statement issued by a left wing MEM
Der of the Sejm.
The text of the statement follows;
In order to fully grasp the signifi-
canoe Of the assassination Of the So
Wet Ambassador by the Russian
monarchists, one must take the fol-
lowing circumstances into considera-
ton:
Finance Bandits.
/. A section Of the Russian mon
archist bandits under the infamous
General Bulak Bulalovitch is being
financed in Poland with British
money This section is allegedly oc-
cupied in administering the Belovesh
woods which the Polish State has
leased to a British firm. Another
section is financed with the money
Of the Polish General Staff, just as
the Petlura band. AS recently as
1924 and 1925, the Polish General
Staff utilized the second section for
raids on the border districts of Soviet
White Russia and the Soviet Ukraine.
2. Since the coup d'Etat of Pilsud-
sky, the activity of the monarchist
groups has noticeably increased. The
press Of Pilsudsky has been in the
habit of writing about the necessity
Of the creation of an independent"
Ukraine and an Independent" White
Russia, naturally upon the ruins Of
the Soviet Ukraine and Soviet White
Russia.
