MOSCOW (By Inprecorr Press
Service) .--Referring to the report
that jesuit priests had purchased a
large area in the Mexican oil fields
around Tampico, the "Pravda' de-
clAres that the papal anti-Soviet &C.
ton smells strongly of oil, and
points out that the penetrating
smell of petroleum steals through
even the romantic kidnapping stories
Of the police and the crocodile tears
Of the pope for the imaginary VIC
tins of Soviet religious prosecutions.
Neither Deterding nor the Ameri-
can oil barons were pleased at the
rapid development of the Soviet oil
industry. The two deadly enemies
who would mutually exterminate
each other if they could, have fallen
into each Others arms in face of
the Soviet danger to both of them.
Deterding finances the religious
campaign led by the Archbishop of
Canterbury, and the inquiries into
the whereabouts of Kutiepov, as he
probably financed the disappearance
in the first place. The German press
which attacks the trade institutions
Of the Soviet Union has also received
finances from him and in particular
from the American oil magnates.
The world oil monopoly organized
by Deterding and the Americans de-
niands the determination of the
most dangerous competitor-Soviet
petroleum. This competitor is very
dangerous because the price and the
policy Of the Soviet Petroleum Trust
is much more favorable to the con-
sumers than the monopoly planned
by the capitalist oil mongers.
Both Deterding and the American
oil magnates are in close touch with
the French press. The reactionary

The agents of the pope, the jesu-

the imperialist adventures of all
types, from the degenerate whites

hearts of the petty bourgeoisie to

The district attorneys memoran-

that the case did not amount to
