( portunist ideas into practice. Like
wise they contemplated the possible
use of the press. In practical work
the wreckers expected to prove the
ideas of the right opposition as cor
rect, Fyedotov continued, and the
general line of the Communist Party
wrong. I'VE intended artificially to
secure the failure of the general
line" said Fyedotov. Various groups
of the wreckers, in textile, originally
led by Lopatin, and later by Fyedo-
tov, worked on falsifying the plans
of the control figures.
The textile group received part of
the funds secured from abroad. AL
ready before 1925. money was re-
ceived from abroad as brides for pur-
chase of textile machines Payment
was then made through the British
embassy, in Moscow.
Fyedotov detailed the contents of
the conference with the old indus
trialist, Karpov, who visited him in
Berlin, August, 1929, during Fyedo-
TOYS trip abroad. Karpov then de-
scribed in detail the reception of the
representatives of the commercial
and industrial committee in Paris by
Poincare and BRAND.
Lianosov, Ryabushinsky and Tret-
yakov attended the reception. Karpov
reported on the serious preparations
of the French government for inter
vention.
The imperialists were alarmed by
the influence of Russian textile
goods in the oriental markets. Emil
grants worked to influence public
opinion by bribing the press to pub
ish articles deliberately classifying
Soviet news. In this respect the
French press was particularly cor
rupt.
The initiative for the preparation
of intervention had already passed
entirely to foreign governments. The
invitation of Poincare to the repre-
sentatives of the commercial and in
dustrial committee in Paris proves
this.
Fyedotov refrained from repeating
the details of Ramsin's conversations
in Paris He made statements about
this in the preliminary investigation,
because he did not know that Ram
sin had made detailed statement.
Karpov'Gs instructions, Fyedotov
related, proved entire ignorance of
Soviet conditions. The proposition
was to agitate among students, which
was ridiculous. Fyedotov reported
that nearly all of the students I'M
der him were Communists and were
inaccessible to counter-revolution
agitation.
"The central committee charged
me with the preparation of plans for
the wrecking of the textile industry
in case of war, and with the organ
izing of a nucleus in the Red Army"
Fyedotov saad. work was begun,
but was interrupted due to our ar
rest"
Fyedotov's statement was intG-
rupted pending the evening session.
Fyedotov, who was in charge of
the textile industries in the Soviet
Union declared that a commission of
half of one per cent on the total
orders received was paid by British
manufacturers of textile machinery
to finance the Industrial Party's"
activities. A commission was also
paid on the purchases of cotton.
This was in 1927. Money was also
received through the French agent
X"
This testimony clearly shows that
British capitalism took concrete
part in actins to prepare for war
upon the Soviet Union and distribu-
ton of its territory among the cap
italist powers.
