This leading member of the Cadet

big bourgeoisie. who in the Indus
trial Party, according to EI..--..I.
favored a monarchy, pictured him
self as person whose heart always
throbbed for the working class! All
the defendants, true to their shop
keepers souls, tried to bargain with
the Soviet Government and speculate
ON the need of technicianS as against
the necessity of their physical ami
hilation,
Rarnzin gave The cue and al SANG
the same tune. As always, there was
great calmneSs in the hail N.
workers listened in a disciplined
fashion: but there isn't worker in
the entire Soviet Union who doesn't
agree with the concluding words OF
Krylenko that everyone who can
help our enemies must be wiped Oft
the face of the earth"
The court adjourned this morn
ing till tomorrow when the judges
decision will be given,
The American workers must COM
bat the efforts Of the bourgeois pres
to arouse sympathy fer the defend
ants Whatever the decision will be,
those who seek to wreck socialist up
building and to deliver the workers
fatherland to the imperialist invad-
ers with a resultant frightful
slaughter of the toilers, must be
dealt with sternly.
The acute danger of war demands
that all proletarian forces rally to
the defense Of the first Workers Re
public and to combat the propaganda
lies and ISLANDERS which are laying
the basis for intervention.

MOSCOW, Dec. Sin this after
Moons session of the trial the accused
were given the right to address the
court in their own behalf. Professor
Ramsin spoke first. His speech again
revealed his great intelligence and
his concentrated WILL which made
him an especially dangerous Wrecker.
He rejected the prosecutors state
ment about pure mathematics be-
ing at the basis of the wreckers' work.
1t was not for material ends that he
carried on the work, he said, but be-
cause of actual conviction Of the in
evitable collapse of Soviet economy,
as well as the moral pressure of old
engineering circles that led him into
the path of the Wreekers. There were
only two ways open. Leftward with
the proletariat to Socialism, or To the
right, through Paris and the inferno
of capitalist war preparations, sabot-
age, espionage, and treason.
He went to the right, said Profess
Sor Ramsin 81 now know where this
read leads, and since the complete
perspective of this road at the same
time the victory of Socialism IS be-
coming clear, and nothing remains
but openly to confess.
MY last act could only be a reve-
lation Of those guilty in wrecking and
war preparation. In these ten days
I have felt the wave of hatred, con-
tempt and condemnation of the So
cialist workers towards the accused
and towards me personally. Perhaps
in the distant future this hatred will
be to some extent ameliorated. My
speculationS we're directed towards
1880. But it was this year that shat
tered these hopes. For three years
I was the bitterest active enemy of
the Soviet Union My last wish is
for myself to live to the time Of the
final victory of Socialism. Let the
proletarian court decide whether my
destruction or use is more necessary
LOT CIle WORKING CLASS.
IT promise, if granted life, to use
all my powers for the service Of So
Wet construction
The statements of Charnovcki, Lar
ichev, Otchkin and Kalinikov were
accompanied by symptoms Of col
lapse They consisted mainly in the
repetition of the confessions of guilt
Charnovski and Larichev pleaded fol
mercy. Larichev and Kalinikov de-
clared they did not dare to beg n ercy
but promised confession and repent
ance If their lives were preserved, anc
honestly" to work for Socialism.
Professor Fyedotovs longer speech
showed once more the deep confess
sion of ideas of this typical represen-
tative Of the old, decayed Russian in
telligentsia. He showed complete hui
initiation, especially when he confess
ed his moral guilt in the matter Of
bribery. He begged for his life "ir
order to wash away this stain"
This ended the speeches of the ac-
cused and the court adjourned 70 De-
cember 6. The last words of the ac-
cused which were heard in the deep
est silence destroys once more all the
tendencious psychological state
ments as to the motives of the con-
fessions of the accused which appear
ed In the hostile press of all capital
list countries.
