MOSCOW, March AT, the evening
session the greatest sensation was
caused when Ramsin, the chief de-
PENDANT in the recent wreckers' trial,
was called as a witness. Ramsin be-
gan by describing the initial steps of
the connection between the counter
revolutionary engineers center and
the Mensheviks. The first connec-
tons began in discussing the ques-
ton regarding the fixation of the
control figures and the Five-Year
Plan with Groman, Sokolovski and
Sukhanov.
Beginning in 1928 concrete ques-
tons were considered regarding the
preparation and realization of prac-
teal wreckers' work and intervention.
Groman and Ginsburg declared that
there was an agreement on the pos
sibility of military dictatorship. Joint
conferences were held by the repre-
sentatives of the Industrial Party,
Kondratyev's Kulak Party, and the
Menshevik Party. A formal block
was perfected at the end of 1923,
after Ramsin's return from abroad
The Industrial Party gave Ramsin
instructions for financing and max
ing all possible use of the Menshevik
group. A special conference between
Ramsin, representative Of the XII
lax Party, and the Menshevik repre-
sentatives Groman, Ginsburg, Sokol-
ov, Stern, and Sukhanov, took place.
Ramsin made a report on his trip
abroad, reported that intervention
was definitely planned in 1880, en-
phasizing the necessity of the ut
most increase of wrecking work. AS
common working platform Of the
bloc were fixed, first, the overthrow
of the proletarian dictatorship; sec
ond, the re-establishment of capital
list relations; thirdly, coordination of
the practical wrecking work and the
preparation for intervention.
Ramsin proceeded to detail the
financing of the Menshevik Party by
the Industrial Party. Ramsin's ex-
animation still continues.
MOSCOW, March 4.-The EVIL
dence of the accused Kubin exposed
the contents of the documents of the
foreign bureau of the Mensheviks,
which were kept by him in the Marx
Engels Institute. The letter of the
foreign bureau on intervention said
passivity on the question of inter
vention cannot satisfy international
social democracy. In view of the
military and technical superiority of
the capitalist powers and the disin-
tegration Of the Soviet regime, the
latter's overthrow is inevitable. Res
toration Of the landlords and the
monarchy was excluded, owing to the
growth Of the postwar influence OF
social democracy and the impossible
ity of getting the workers to support
monarcllist slogans. The result Of
intervention must be a bourgeois
democratic republic. The social dem-
ocrats should propagate and support
the same. Menshevism must make
contact with other counter-revolu-
tionary parties who aim at mass up
rising the moment of intervention tc
propaganda the peasants and sol
diers in the Red Army, and to dis
organize industry. They concluded
that unless social democracy takes
an active part intervention will be
unable to control events.
In two letters of the foreign bu-
reau the bloc with Kondratyev ant
the bourgeois parties generally were
outlined. Although Menshevism dis.
trusts other parties, the changed
conditions dictate a united front

tions, outlined the relations of Rya
zanov, former head of the Marx-En
gels Institute, to whom he gave docu
,ments for safekeeping. Ryazanov OBJ
tanned his release from prison il
