LEADERSOF WEST

Especial Gable To DAILY WoRKER)
MOSCOW, Feb. 1.-THE leading
group in the former West Ukrainian
Communist, headed by Vasilkiv and
Turansky, having formerly revealed
serious nationalist opportunist devia-
tons (Which expressed themselves in
the wrong leadership of worker-peas-
ant organizations, the support of
Shumsky, who fell under the influ-
ence of the Ukrainian bourgeoisie.
and the substitution of the slogan
payment for land at prices fixed by
the peasants") openly came out
against the Polish Central Commit
tee, against the Ukrainian Party and
against the Communist international
in creating a second party.
The second party in order to de-
ceive the masses called itself the West
Ukrainian Communist Party and cap
tured the Party organs. During the
Polish elections to the Sejm (parlia-
ment), the Teaders" put forward a
separate ticket and carried on cam
paign against the overwhelming ma
iority of the Communist Party of
West Ukraine which remained loyal
to the Communist International.
All of the admissions of mistakes
and promises to make good have
proved deceptive. The group has fall
ZEN under the influence of the Ukrain
ian bourgeoisie which is making COM
mon cause with international imperi-
alism and Polish fascism against the
Ukrainian Soviet Republic. The
group, effectively, has fallen into Pill
sudski' camp.

nave dropped messages concerning

separated from each other by thick
walls. They have little, heavily bolted
doors. In these small cells there are
wooden collins standing by the walls
and man is locked into every cof-
fin. The filth is never removed from
these either. The half-rotted bodies
of these victims of Chinese cruelty
are swarming with maggots.
The prisoners either receive no
food and in that case their relatives
have to provide food for them, or
they are given handful of rice in a
sinking cup once or twice day.
Madness, Sickness, Death.
The lack Of nourishment, the
frightful sanitary conditions and
the savage regime result in disease
and huge mortality among the
prisoners. 1t is very seldom that the
prisoners live out their terms. VAST
ing away, filthy, in rags, covered
with ulcers and sores, they soon 60
crazy, lose all likeness to human be-
ings and die in their coffins.
Distinction is seldom made between
the political and the criminal prison
ers. The political prisoners find
themselves in the same cells
with the criminals, are subjected to
the same regime and have as little
hope of coming out of these death
cells alive.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Labor

printed an editorial today declaring
that, despite the prosperity of the
United States, American workers are

It quoted figures to show there are

elections for March Is. It is under
stood that the president will ask the
present cabinet to continue as a

are over.
The crisis is generally believed to
have been forced by Foreign Minister
Stresemann, who is seeking a more
left party coalition as a basis for a
new government. Anticipating a gen.
orsl swing to the left in the coming
elections, Stresemann, it is said, is
attempting to eliminate the national
lists from the coalition and to include
the socialist elements.

jails are built without windows. The
rather broad corridors are approached
thru narrow doors. Beside them
stand cages with heavy iron bars.
The cages are separated from one
another by thick walls.
IL Men in Cage.
In every cage are from ten to II
prisoners. All of them are bound
with heavy iron chains which are
fastened to their necks by means of
another chain. In some cages broad
iron rings are forged around the
prisoners necks so that the slightest
movement of the neck tears the skin
and causes the blood to run from the
sores while the prisoner cries with
pain.
The prisoners feet are often forced
into special holes cut in a beam. The
miserable wretches who are locked to-
gether in this way cannot rise year
in and year out, but are compelled to
spend their whole time sitting or ly-
ing down. The needs Of nature have
to be fulfilled in the cage and no one
removes the filth which impests the
air not only of the individual cages,
but turnout the whole prison.
