relations between industrial party
with the industrial and commercial
committees in Paris.
crushing revelation, the greyhaired
gentleman was shown up as an
ordinary scoundrel. Likewise his
denial of having taken the initiative
in the textile wrecking collapsed.
Ramsin was recalled and confirmed
Fyedotov, finally admitting that in
the meetings of the central commit
tee the initiative of the wrecking work
in the textile industry belonged to
Fyedotov.
The cross examination of the next
defendant, Ochkin, clearly reveals
the cold and calculated cynicism with
which Ramsin, misuing his influence
as a teacher and friend, drew" his
secretary in and made him ripe"
for wrecking work. Equally cynical
appears the readiness of Ochkin to
turn from alleged sympathy for the
Soviet power, of years standing, and
in few months take up active work
preparing intervention.
The defendant Sitnin attempted to
pose as favoring only the immediate
aim of the engineers organization,
that is, to help to transform the
Soviet system into state capitalism,
plus freedom for petty and middle
capital.
CroSs-examination forced him to
withdraw his former claim that he
was not a member of the industrial
party and knew nothing about in
tervention. He was compelled to
answer affirmatively Krylenko's three
questions: Were you a wrecker?"
Did you know of the intervention
plan? Did you assist in its prepara-
ton?
The collapse of his pose was
brought about by revealing a receipt
for dirty brides he got for delivering
textile goods to private trade. The
Soviet currency he thus received was
exchanged Illegally for gold, through
agents. His $500 in gold roubles
($3.750) was conhscated.
The court was then adjourned until
tomorrow. ..........

MOSCOW, Nov. 3O-The court
proceeded with the examination of
the accused engineers regarding
their relations with the industrial
and commercial committee in Paris.
The examination proved conclusively
that three parties we're preparing in
tervention: The industrial party"
the industrial and commercial COM
mittee composed of former Russian
capitalists in Paris) and the French
government.
The decisive influence in fastening
and strengthening the preparations
for intervention proceeded under di-
rection of the French government,
under the personal participation of
Locheur, Poincare and BRAND. The
first beginnings of active and prac-
tical work was undertaken by the
French general staff, who elaborated
plans for intervention. The indus
trial and commercial committee fixed
the final date for intervention at
1880, and the industrial parry was
to carry out its whole wrecking &C
tivity with the object of internal
preparation for the ground for
French intervention on that date.
Professor Ramsin described ex-
haustively the conversations with
Rabushinsky in 1927, and with the
industrial and commercial commit
tee in october, 1928. Exact details
of this meeting we're confirmed by
Larichev another of the defendants.
This leaves no doubt as to the reality
OF these statements.
Locheur's role appears in a new
light. According to Rabushinsky's
statement in 1928, Locheur provided
the first decisive connection with the
French government circles.
Questioned regarding Rabushinsky,
whose existence is denied by the for
eign emigree and socialist press, Pro-
lessor Ramsin stated that that per-
son was Vladimir Rabushinsky. Kry-
lenko, the Soviet prosecutor, called
for the reading of the article in the
Russian emigre newspaper "Voz-
rojdenye" on July 7, signed by vladi-
mir Rabushinsky. In this article en-
titled THAT Necessary War" the
author develops deliberately the econ
omic advantages to an imperialist
military conquest Of Russia.
Professor Fyedotov, another of the
defendants, confirmed this article,
which strengthens the already rec
