1880 than in later years. :"
The same idea is repeated by Ramzin in
his statement Of October 81: -. :. ......
The Concrete Plan of the Intervention
a.. 1t was intended to begin the inter-
vention in the following manner: Runania
was to seize upon some pretext, for instance
a frontier conflict, this to be followed by q
formal declaration of war from Poland an6
the intervention of the Baltic States The
Wrangel troops were to take part in the in
tervention, and to march through Rumania
England was to aid the intervention with its
fleet: /. in the Black Sea, where it would
cut off the oil fields of Caucasia; g in the
Gulf of Finland, where it would take part in
the operations against Leningrad. 1t was
also planned to land Krasnov Cossacks on
the coast of the Black Sea, that these might
reinforce and strengthen the rising on the
Don. Great hopes were set on rising in
the Ukraine, and on consequent cutting
off of communications between Moscow and
the Donetz Basin.
1.-THE whole plan consisted of combined
action: The main attack was to be upon
Moscow; this attack to be backed up by a
second one against Leningrad, whilst at the
same time the South army was to advance
from base on the right bank of the Dniepr
In the interior of the country the operations
of the Intervention troops were to oe sup
ported, not only by mass instructions, but
by the activities of the Industrial Party in
aggravating and worsening the crises by the
means of diversion action in the war indus
tries, in the power works, etc. Statement
made October 16, 1900
The same statements have been made by
the other accused. Kalinnikov for instance,
observes:
g.. the governments of France and Eng
land, and the Russian white guard emigres
in the Trade and Industrial Committee, view
ed the middle of 1880 as the next suitable mo-
ment for the intervention. This information
was brought from to Ramsin by Mr..
K in the second half Of 1928. At the same
time he was informed of the plan which I
have enclosed, laying down the scheme of
the intervention
statement made October 16, 1930)
Laritchev's statement of October is is to
the same effect:
THE leading role in the organization of
the intervention was played by France, who
realized its plans of preparation with the
active aid of the English government. where
by the cooperation of the latter envisaged
certain measures prescribed by the Deterding
group Occupation of Baku and Grosny).
Haritchv, October 16, 1930)
Laritchev, too, confirms the motives caus-
ing the sabotagers to decide in favor of
1880:
1880 was expected to be the year of
the greatest crisis, in consequence of the
disproportion in the development of the va
rious branches Of economy, especially in the
metal industry, and of the costs of the great
large-scale plant in course of construction.
We received directions to this effect on the
preparations for the intervention in 1880
from various members of the Industrial
Party, and this formed the main factor of
the political struggle in connection with the
laying down of the Five-Year Plan" Estate
ment made october 16, 1920
Among the various statements, very char
acteristic one is the following one made by
Laritchev on the role played by the French
general staff in provoking the conflict on
the Chinese Eastern Railway:
''The conflict on the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way in the summer of 1929, was, as learned
from Ramzin and Kalinnikoy, diversion
fnstigated by the French and English staffs;
test was to be made of our mobilization
capacity and of the fighting powers of the
Red Army on the one hand, and on the other.

population towards the possibi]itv of war of
