Statement made 18th of october, 1900
a.. that Poincare promised full support
for the Intervention, and was OF the opinion
that IN 1930-31 complete su~~- Aght be
hoped Gar it."
This same Sitnin confirms Fyedotov's
statement Chased on information from Kari
pow, that Poincare in the course OF the
interview with the members of the presidium
of the Trade and Industrial Committee.
stated that the French general staff was
commissioned to carry out the practical work
of preparation for the intervention.
Sitnin's and Fyedotov's account of the In
terview with Poincare is further confirmed
by another sabotager, Dershavin, who had
received the information in Moscow, after
Fyedotov's return. According to Dershavin.
Poincare: promised an active policy in the
direction of an intervention, but required
that preparations should first be made In
the Soviet Union for the DISCRIMINATION OF
the economic situation now finding its ball
ance, so that dissatisfaction with the govern
ment might be aroused in the country"
These statements show clearly that the
Trade and Industrial Committee was actually
able to submit to the conference in october,
1928 some proof of its work towards pre-
pairing for the intervention.
In view of the above cited facts there can
no longer be any doubt that the initiative
taken by the Trade and Industrial Commit
tee was mainly formal in character. In reality
it was the governing circles of France, rep-
resented by Poincare which sought to exc
plot for their ends the Trade and Industrial
Committee and the sabotage organizations.
Ia coI,-
otagers state that Poincare insisted on the
necessity of intensifying the work of the
sabotage organizations in the Soviet Union.
The same conclusion must be drawn from
the second communication made by Denisov
at the conference in october, 1923, regarding
which Ramzin at first likewise kept silent:
Ramzin, in his statement of 31st of october,
writes:
"DeniSov reported that The work of the
Trade and Industrial Committee in prepara-
ton of the intervention against the Soviet
Union had already brought concrete results,
| for the French general staff had already
formed a special commission; under the
leadership of General Janin, for the prepara-
ton of an intervention against the Soviet
Union. Denisov stated further that one of
the active collaborators in the preparations
for the Intervention was Colonel Joinville
Of the French general staff, who would at
the same time maintain direct contact with
the proposed military leader of the interview
ton, General Lukomsky."
Poincare who had promised, during the
interview, to submit to the general staff, the
question OF preparing for an intervention,
had therefore actually fulfilled this promise
before October, 1928 and had laid down a
corresponding line of conduct for the Trade
and Industrial Committee in the interests
of the success of the intervention. The state.
ment on the organization of the Janin coms
mission is further confirmed by Kalinnikov
on 10th of October.
"Ramzin informed us that the French gem
eral staff had formed an international COM
mission, under Janin's presidency, of the
representatives of France, England and
Poland, for the purpose of alloting the roles
in the leadership and carrying out of the
Russian intervention. This commission de.
clared itself agreed with Frances UNDER
taking the leadership in the carrying out Of
the intervention as also the providing and
transport of war equipment and weapons
for the intervention armies The operative
preparations and the role of vanguard were
undertaken by Poland. >
On 10th of October 1890 Kalinnikoy made
another important statement:
&C. after this decision had been arrived
at by the Janin commission, England adopted
somewhat more distant attitude towards
the intervention, for the reason that the
chief economic incentive, the possibility that
English industries might earn something by
