MOSCOW, Nov. 28-Evdence of the eight de-
III PENDANTS on trial before the Supreme Court
in Moscow established one fact clearly. The
borgeoisie, imperialst countries in particular
the government of the French republic and the
General Staff, were the moving forces behind the
whole train of plans of wrecking, espionage
and armed intervention.
Cunning as were the heads of this so-called
Industrial party, as shown in the recourcefulness
with which they elaborated the hitherto unheard
# devices for introducing the disproportion in
he industry and another, or between production
md consumption in the same industry for sup
porting the opportunists inside the Communist
Party, by the most devious ways-despte all
these things it is clear now they were nothing
but tools in the hands of the French General
Staff Grom whom they took their orders and
payments Directly and in the hands of the
British French and American capitalists.
A significant passage in the evidence was when
Fyodotov said while at the beginning the con-
spirators in Paris were hanging about in the
ante chambers of the government, later the sit
nation was reversed and the Initiative" passed
over another sphere. That is, from private
ISOLATION with the Russian appropriated mine
and factory owners, to the governments of the
imperialist powers.
From the moment the initiative passed over,
the drive was constant and pressing for war.
1t was actually timed for $780, and later 1881,
which date still holds good The completely of
the bourgeoisie is revealed in the utterances of
the bourgeois press. Torgpron, the central COM
mittee of commerce and industry in Paris it
self came out with a flat denial of everything,
following the lead of Poincare, who loudly pro-
claimed his innocence.
Actually the bourgeosie is in cleft stick
The trial was conducted with the utmost pub
hcity in the presence of thousands of Moscow
workers. Scores of representatives of bourgeois
journals in America. Germany, Britain, etc., dip
lomats of the imperialist powers were present
The press reveals its completely with the bour-
geoisie in the plot by the lies it spreads. These
lies take two forms: Announcing Stains murder;
risings in Moscow, corpses in the Red Square,
etc, etc. Such stories in which the wish is
father to the thought is the familiar accompani-
nlent for the plans of intervention
Significant now is the fact that "Vorwaerts"
German socialist newspaper, the Herald" the
London socialist paper, and the New Leader"
of New York, are in the forefront of the liars
2. The bourgeois press treats the trial and
the revelations of approaching war as fake
the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin saying the trial
is "a gigantic maneuver TO distract attention of
the workers from the economic difficulties" This
is echoed by the Mensheviks, "Populaire" in Paris
saying tne trldl is a aversion caused by Jne
failure of the Five-Year Plan.
Although the conspiratorS admit the wrecking
was defeated by overwhelming forces utterly
unexpected by them of the working class, never
theless they were able to do considerable damage
but this is seen only when we consider the mega
tive side.
On the positive side there is the well nigh I'M
believeable energy displayed by the revolutionary
working class which has had such gigantic re-
suits that the efforts of the consprators was
mere flotsam and jetsam amid the overwhelming
tidal wave Of the proletarian advance toward the
construction of Socialism
What are the figures? The plan was stupen-
dous enough. 1t allowed for the growth in a
single year of 4o.5 per cent. But the workers did
more than that They did things which bour-
gcois economists. like the correspondent for the
London Economist" while reporting in black
and white. can scarcely credit the evidence OF
