LONDON, Dec. 6.-The prosecu-
tor in the trial of SO trade-union
sleaders of India, who were arrested
last March and taken to the iso-
lated town Of Meerut, has concluded
his closing speech, dispatches from
India state. The speech lasted for
days. The prosecutor ended by say
ing that the British authorities in
India were not attacking the trade
unions or the nationalist movement,
but only attacking the Communist
international.
The effort of British imperialism
to decapitate the national revolu-
tionary movement Of India by inn
prisoning the working class leader
ship of the movement, symbolized in
the leaders of the militant trade
unions, is being carried on under a
guise of protecting India" against
the Communist International.
The charges against the SO lead
ers on trial at Meerut, are of "try-
ing to deprive His British Majesty
of sovereignty over India"--as the
indictment reads. The masses OF
India have shown intense and de-
voted support of their jailed leaders
who, on their first appearance in
the court, sang the "Internationale'
and shouted "Down with British i'm

Soviet Masses Protest.
MOSCOW, Dec. GA storm Of
resolutions from factory workers
and mass organizations of all kinds
is pouring into Moscow demanding
that the Soviet Government stand
firmly against the war threat of
imperialist America. They state
that the Soviet is for peace, but
that the Soviet progress toward
socialism as shown by the success
o. the Five-Year Plan, makes the
leading imperialist bandits wish to
defeat it by war.
The Red Army organ, the "Red
Star" declares:
"The armies, navies, ornaments
and military budgets of capitalist
nations are much greater than be-
fore the World War. Anarchy in
production-the growth of the class
struggle and internal difficulties,
intensifies the capitalist interna-
tional struggle for markets and
spheres of influence.
THE success of the Soviet Five
Year Plan is no longer denied
abroad. but is welcomed by foreign
proletariats and oppressed races.
The latest events in the Far East
signify a change in the imperialist
camp from passive hostility to direct
provocation of war. The imperial
list hypocrites bethought themselves
of the Kellogg Pact only when Muk-
den. under the pressure Of the So
Wet Unions resolute policy, was

ton of the conflict.

Their reports followed close upon that

survey of bars from the head of the
bay to Sandy Point and Love Point.
While the bars in the Potomac River
were reported in less favorable
condition, dredges in that territory were
hopeful of fair hauls during the Winter.
SwepSon Earle, state conservation
commissioner, said:
1.-The upper bay area has been in
spected twice in the last month or two,
and we have found that the oysters on
Love Point and Sandy Point are meaty
and free of muscles. These bars are re-
Earded as the most important, from o
Baltimore viewpoint, in the early season.
Improvement is looked for later in
the season at COLCHESTER, the Lumps,
Snake Pip and Bodkin. In the Potomac
there is q scarcity of shells where the
larger oysters were caught last year"
Explaining that he would confer with
the Virginia Legislature on the question
of having that State aid in appro-
priations for the rehabilitation of the
Potomac, Commissioner Earle said that
the area there would be opened for
dredging at the same time as others.
