MOSCOW, Nov. 28.-The statement
of the defendant, Fyedotov, who oc-
cupied a leading post in the textile
industry, made a deep impression.
He revealed how the counter-revolu-
tionaries endeavored to make use of
the right elements in the Commu-
mist Party of the Soviet Union, for
their own purposes.
Fyedotov says: 1.-THE ideas of the
right elements appeared to us SYM
pathetic, because we calculated in
advance the degeneration of the NEP
New Economic Policy in capital
list direction. Therefore, members
of the wreckers organization endeav-
ored to influence adherents of the
right deviation in the Communist
Party, to supply them with 'argu-
ments, substantial data in the press
and in books, to support the right
wing conception"
Fyedotov especially could do that
because being engaged in the textile
industry he defended" light indus
try versus heavy industry in the
spirit of the right elements.
The wreckers wanted, however, to
prove the impracticability of the gen.
eral party line, not only by theoreti-
cal arguments, but, as Fyedotov says,
by tangible lessons" These "tangi-
BILE" arguments were to be furnished
by their sabotage, by direct technical
wrecking work, in order to create
chaos in the economic life. This had
to cause the bankruptcy" of the
general line of the Communist Party.
These entire mechanics of using
the right opposition by the wreckers
organization shows how this right
opposition effectively furnished sup
port to the wreckers' work and there
by also to the intervention plans.
The same applies in the present
situation to the latest bloc of the
right and left Gppositionists, Syrtsov
and LominadSe. 1t is clear that the
maneuvers Of the right, whether they
appear openly as oprortunists. or as
masked cleft" oppositionists play also
in other sections of the Comintern
the same role of supporters of their
own bourgeoisie and as people favor
ing the plans of the imperialist
enemies of the Soviet Union, not to
speak of the renegades of the type
of the Brandlerists or Trotskyites
who since the imperialist attack on
the Eastern Chinese Railway openly
sided with the enemy, combating in
most cynical way the Communist
campaign against the war danger.

have exceeded the plans for grain
supply by 10 per cent. They have
delivered 10000 cwts., of grain over

1t is reported from Novosibirsk
that the workers Of factory pro-
ducinb combine machines organized
a great meeting of delegates from
the collective farms in the area.
Thirty-two collectives were repre-
sented. Their reports showed that
the plans had been carried out
splendidly and that the example of
the farms had caused thousands of
individual peasants to throw in their
lot with the collective farms. Since
the signing of the collective agree
ment the membership of the collec-
tives has risen by % per cent and
the plans have been carried out 100
per cent. The collective farms have
delivered 10000 tons of grain to the

| leL~ISVO1uGlOLldry government WHICH
was to be formed after the intended
overthrow of the Soviet Government.
His statement to the court, which
takes the form of a more than six
hour long lecture, does not only fully
confirm the indictment but ampI-
fies it by wealth of detail.
He described the preliminary his
tory of the sabotaging organization
headed by him when on the TIRES
hold Of the Five Year Plan. The old
engineers who were instructed by the
Proletarian Government with the
honorable and well-paid posts in the
Soviet economy-Ramsin himself had
a salary of 1900 rubles a month
($750)-but who had not given up
the hope of the restoration of the
capitalist order, noticed that the
rapid development of the Socialist
economy Threatened" to create a
sound basis for the new order, they
made up their minds to wark actively
against it.
This was to be done in the form
of sabotaging on a large scale the
economic plans of the Soviet Govern
ment which was bound to lead to an
economic crisis. He, RamSin, and
also some of the other defendants,
took advantage of journeys abroad
on behalf of the Soviet authorities,
in order to get into touch with the
Russian Czarist emigres, from the
circles of the old Russian financial
and industrial world. They met them
in Paris. They met the leaders of
the Torgrom, the committee of the
industrialists and financiers, and
through them, the leading French
statesmen and representatives of the
general staff of the army.
In this manner sabotaging activ-
ity in the Soviet Union itself was
placed on much broaded basis and
was given greater possibilities for &C
tivity as a coup de etat in the Soviet
Union itself could not be contem-
plated.
The plan of armed intervention
was eagerly taken up as the only
hopeful way. Considerable financial
means were also placed at their dis
posal. According to Ramsin, the sum
handed over to them in the last
years TO rtheir sabotaging activity
amounts to about four million rubles
($2,000,000), which was used for the
work" in the most important do
mains of industry and transporta-
ton. They received monies in Mos
COW from two members of the French
embassy who were protected by their
diplomatic immunity.
He described infinitely the inter-
views which he and some of his col
leagues, now in the dock, had with
the said gentlemen. Instructions and
questionnaires were placed before all
of them, and in this manner they
delivered their reports and commu-
nications Special attention was paid
to military espionage and plans for
placing in Jeopardy the defense of
the country. The war industry, and
especially those branches of indus
try and communications which are
of particular Importance in the event
of war, were especially concentrated
on.
The date of thei Intervention was
already fixed. Originally it was to
take place in 1880. 1t was thought
from the standpoint of the internal
situation in the Soviet Union this
year would be most opportune as the
