Socialism.
In the trial of the leaders of the sabotage or

revealed three of the main driving forces Of CAPT.

which the Russian bourgeoiSie was able to retain
for some time after the revolution. the money"
realizable capital etc. has for the greater part
slipped from their hands in the course of the
revolution. The inner connections of the Rus
sian bourgeoisie became almost completely disor-
ganized in the course of the revolution. From
the confessions of all the leaders of the Indus
trial Party it is quite clear that the counter
revolutionary sabotage organization was driven
to the path of intervention of preparatory es-
pionage and treason, precisely owing to the lack
of a social basis in the Soviet Union itself. 1t
was not owing to the growth of its attractive
power for the masses, but on the contrary, its
growing isolation even from the masses of the
engineers that caused the Union of Engineers
organization on the instructions of Poincare
and the French General Staff. to convert itself
into political party" the Industrial Party.
The second group of driving forces of the
counter-revoution, the remnants of the former
leading classes now living in emigration together
with the menshevist and social revolutionary fol-
lowers are still more lacking the support of any
living social forces.
The first and second groups of driving forces

Ienin constitutes in the first place the force of
every defeated bourgeoisie: the force of inter

self in face of the facts which were revealed by
the accused and the witnesses He declared in
his deferse that he had already in 1920 drawn
the lesson from the fate of the counter -revolu-
tionary war of Koltschak and Dennikin and from
the fate of the French and English intervention.
He stated that already in 1920 he was personally
opposed to- the recognition of Wrangel by the
French government and opposed to his being
supported by the French government in the fight
against the Soviet government
The facts, however, cannot be got rid Of by
complicated methods of lying any more than
they can by the method of simple lying
These facts are the following According to
the unanimous evidence of all the accused,
France first fixed on the year 1923 as the date
Of intervention and then postponed it to the year
1880. Finally, intervention was postponed to the
year 1881.
The year 1928 was preceded by Doumergues
visit to London, when Poincare government
was in power. During this time Poincare was
engaged in stabilizing the franc and securing the
continental hegemony of France. Doumergue
gave a powerful impulse to the Anglo-F French
approchement. The result Of his visit to London
was to smooth out whole number of differences
between the two leading imperialist states, and
in 1928, that is in the year for which Poincare
had fixed the intervention, the Anglo-French En-
tente celebrated its rebirth. This Entente was,
Of course, directed against the Soviet Union.
The rebirth of the Anglo-French Entente was
accompanied by number Of naval and military
conventions. And thus France, as a result of
Poincares initiative, became the leader of in
tervention preparations against the Soviet Union.
