Is it conceivable that the whole Sc
ries of people "indiscriminately" were
arrested by the GPU, and we're then
separately given statements COM

Is such a gigantic Coordination
conceivable? The agreement of the
declarations strengthened by agree
ment with the declarations and docu-
mentS of an historical character such
as information given by Krassovsky
while under arrest since April, 1928,
and results of the investigation of
the conditions Of the railways pub

induced the accused to make state
ments. Extortion by torture is clear
ly excluded here. The statements as
q whole give the key to the psyche
logical coincidence of the confessions.
They are heroes Of sabotage" No
idea unites or supports them
Todsy's proceedings opened the
exposure of the role of money in the
wreckers' work, showing their deep
moral decadence. The accused had
no alternative but to speak. Further
proof Of the objective character of
the confessions can be found in the
detailed agreement of the witnesses
Mikhaelenko, Sirosinsky, Zeidler, and
Yrovsky. No contradictions were dis
closed despite the fact that the ex-
animation showed that the witnesses
had no knowledge of the whole
wrecking activity and that they we're
only acquainted with part of the
leading figures. Let us test the cred
Utility Of the detailed statements of
the accused regarding the foreign re-
lation of the Torg Prom, and the par
ticipation in the leading circles of
France, and the French general staff.
According to their own statements in
speeches of the tenth anniversary Of
the White Russian college in Paris,
no doubt remains regarding the Torg
Prom's actively hostile attitude to-
ward the Soviets, and the relation of
the counter revolutionary armed
forces with the object of the over
throw of the Soviet Power lin a
few months" Deterding's speech on
the eleventh of June, 1890, and his
letter on the fourteenth of the same
month show his close relations with
the Russian enigres. Both docu-
ments forecast the approaching
overthrow OF the Soviet Power in a
few months Riabusaenskys article
confirms the intention of the emf
gres to hasten the intervention The
Torg Prom's press statement does not
deny the meeting with Poincare,
doubtless for the reason that they
we're anxious not to thereby preju-
dice the promises received at these
meetings
All this indicates the presence of
the active aggressive attitude Of the
Torg Prom against the Soviet Union
and the intention to realize an in
tervention within the shortest length
Of time.
Janain was named by the Presi-
dents commission to prepare the
plan for intervention AS an officer
with practical experience of interven-
ton in Russia, Janain clearly was the
best candidate. The article of the
forgers and the information given by
the Communist deputy, Berons in
the French Parliament, regarding the
military measures of the spring of
1880, proved actually the similar at
titude and tendencies of the leading
political circles of France. Prepara-
ton of the wrecking acts against the
Soviet war industries, beginning the
construction of military organization,
are facts. Men now alive carried out
these preparations, are in our hands,
and speak. All these practical meas
ures of actions would be meaningless
if not taken in closest relation with
the French general staff. Equally
credible information of the accused
regarding meetings of the Torg Prom
with Poincare.
Poincare demands details "of the
alleged" plan for intervention Of the
Soviet Union. His article Of Febru-
airy %. 1880 in the Excelsior" gives
the reply: his reference to the dan
ger of the frontier conflicts of Bes-
sarabia and Poland" comedies with
the statements of the accused. SINH
larly Poincare's article written on
october 80. entitled "Claws of the
Soviet Union" leaves no doubt of the
authors malicious hatred against the
Soviet Union and the intention OF
destroying it. In such an atmosphere
relations with the Torg Prom which
constitute the "unofficial embassy of
the Russian emigres in France are
more than probable. Poincare con-
cludes his article Enough of Jokes"
We also say Enough of Jokes" De-
tailed preparations of dynamiting the
war factories. extensive activities OF
French agents, construction of trail
torous military organization are no
iokes. All it does makes the credi-
bility of this part of the confessions
of the accused completely certain
Our task now is to establish the in
dividual guilt in matter of service to
the Torg Prom, French government,
and general staff.
