Telegraphic notice has been sent

The program of demands in all
countries is led by demand for
unemployment insurance at the

the remission of rents for all un-
employed workers, and cancellation
of taxes and debts also; with the

of prominent British politicians and

Owing to indiscretion of the plot

covered the plans.
Then the plans for instruction
within the Soviet Union were re-
newed with both British and Italian
politicians at Geneva, Switzerland,
in the beginning of 1922, when the
idea of forging or counterfeiting
Soviet paper money was first
brought up as a method to under
mine the Soviet currency and there
by, in the hopes of the plotters, to
bring about the fall of the Soviet
Government.
Weber declared that the authori-
ties in Bavaria, where one of the
counterfeiting factories was set up
at Munich, knew the plans he was
working on, and gave him support
At this moment in the trial, the
prosecuting attorney, who is con-

"The obvious trend of the Mac

conservatism. No one any longer
expects the British Labor Party
to do anything particularly radi-
cal. Its socialism is hardly dis
tinguishable now from a progress

policy is essentially at one with
the general policy to which Great
Britain has long been accus-
toned"
