masters OF the situation and that the
industrial party was their blind
tool. Ramsin confirmed the fact
that the Agents r and K always
pressed the industrial party" on be-
half of the General Staff. Professor
Fyedotov related that in his Berlin,
1928, conversation, left the impression
of demands for more thorough prep
arations in the eventuality of war in
the Soviet Union, which was made at
Poincare's behest.
Fyedotov explained that he OBJ
served an interesting cooperation
between the cleft" emigres, such as
Miliukov, and the avowed monar-
chists, under the leadership of the
French General Staff.

MOSCOW, Dec. lin this morn
ing's trial, the cross examination was
concerned with individual acts OF
sabotage in the Soviet Union.
The defendants tesntimoy revealed
a picture of extensive and cimpli
Gated sabotage, particularly in the
fuel industry. The whole world has
learned the price" of the counter
revolutionary engineers, paid by the
French government circles supporting
the overthrow plot. The early at
tempts to conceal the precise scope
of this sabotage collapsed.
The sabotage system was not only
controlled by the central committee
of the industrial party" but there
were elaborate meetigs Of the COM
mites in industrial branches, with
further detailed elaboration and
carrying out of the acts of sabotage.
In addition, recent acts of sabot-
age in the interest of military inter-
vention were shown.
Professor, Ramsin described fully
the wreckers' steps in retarding the
rate of fuel development. The
wreckers' Five-Year Plan in the pc
industry indicated is million tons 10y
1882. The workers counter-plan,
largely realized, shows 80 million
tons.
The wreckers subtly used even the
press freedom given them, organized
fake disputes concerning defending
non-fulfillment of importat work"
Professor RamSin here tried to prove
1.-THE objectivity'' of his numerous
scientific works, and the purely
scientific" nature of the Thermo-
Technical Institute under his guild
ance.
Pressed by Krylenko, he finally ad-
mitted that the Institutes object was
not only the elaboration of practical
problems of power construction, but
also to carry out acts of sabotage.
Larichev revealed the wreckers'
measures to conceal the great i'm
portance of the Kuzbas coal for in
disqualification. The Kuzbas coal de-
post is 400 billion tons. Some esti-
mate it at 1000 billion tons of first
rate coal, and one of the worlds larg-
est coal deposit. The wreckers elab-
grated minimum Kuzbas develop
ment plan, and endeavored to carry
out the prevention of railway con-
struction.
In the oil industry, where the
best and most strongly organized,
they wanted to create disproportion
by presenting excessive plans while
not using numerous imported ma
chimes; carried out the artificial re-
tardation of cistern production with
the purpose of the prevention of
consumption by Soviet industry of oil
made excessive by discontinued ex-
ports during the intervention.
Charnovsky finally admitted lead
ership in the metallurgcal wrecking
work. Projects were withheld for
many years. Charnovsky's cross-ex-
animation continues this afternoon.
