states that Red Army troops cap
tured the city of Changteh, in HUI

Shek's army sent from the city of
Changsha against the Communists.
This leaves the road open for fur
ther attack on Changsha, which at
one time was in the hands of the
Red Army,
Reports to the Daily Worker some
time ago from Changsha declared
that the Red Army was maneuvering
about Changsha, strengthening its
hold on the surrounding territory for
a drive on Changsha itself.
Meanwhile, all preparations are
being made for the holding of the

tailed conversations with Dennisov in
Berlin, July, 1880, when Ossadchi
was deputized as Ramsin's repre-
sentative of the industrial party"
Dennisov, an old Russian capitalist,
complained bitterly about the failure
OF the wreckers to achieve adequate
results despite the receipt of millions
of francs. He declared the postpone
ment of the war to 1881 gravely inn
perilled the chances because of the
changing international situation. He
gave examples of this, such as the
growing strength of the German
Communists, and the Anglo-Soviet
lebt negotiations Ossadchi's reply
contained the important contention
that the internal situation in the
Soviet Union was increasingly be-
coming unfavorable for wrecking, for
which one of the main reasons was
the defeat of the right wing, and the
decisions of the Communist Party
ltral committee.
Thus is clearly shown the activity
of the rights effectively were in
direct support of the wreckers. The
wreckerS were fully aware of this,
the witnesses brought out, and were
hoping for the success of the right
wing as part of the preparation for
the intervention.

quently stated.
The importance of the association
with Miliukov in these conversations
consists of showing that all the Rus
sian counter revolutionary groups
were being used by foreign capitalists
to prepare war. Once again the con-
trolling part of France was stated
by Yuroysky when he was questioned
regarding the composition of the flu
ture government. He declared, amid
general laughter of the workers in
the courtroom, that all parties, in
Guiding Kondratiev's, hoped to secure
leading posts in the government, but
