MOSCOW, April 14.-Izvestia. in
an article yesterday headed "a Nest
Of Spies and Wreckers," writes: "The
legend is exploded. Attempts to
create prejudice against the Court by
blubbering about the defendants hav-
ing been subjected to impermlssible
methods of coercion has completely
fallen through.
Thornton, as an experienced spy,
knows that usually no government
will defend its secret agents when
they are uncovered and caught red
handed. Confronted by the testi-
mony OF other witnesses, and not
knowing whether material evidence
existed or not, Thornton, when ar
rested, decided to save his skin by a
frank confession, and gave testimony
describing in detail the crimes of sew
eral other spy-agents. When re-
leased from prison on bail, he learned
that, contrary to his expectations,
there would be an energetic defense,
and made up his mind to try to cor
rect the situation. He wriggles in
court like reptile that has been
stepped on.
The Thing Is Clear
There are no secrets in this whole
story. The puzzle is explained quite
simply. The spies when caught be-
trayed each other. Their attempts
to pull their paws out of the trap
failed. They are caught. And all the
prayers which during the Easter holi-
days will be broadcasted on the radio
for the health and happiness of these
pious individuals will not help them.
The truth will not be hid.
why shouldn't some of the Eng
lish millionaires turn generous and
publish daily stenograms of the trial?
1t will cost less than the present anti
Soviet propaganda. There is enough
paper in England. What is the
trouble then? Wherein lies the diff
Guilty?
'"The dificulty is in the fact that
the Imperialist clique want to keep
the English people in ignorance, and
cannot transmit the light and truth
revealed In this trial. But nothing
will help you, gentlemen. The truth
will reach the English people, and
will reveal the secret work Of all the
master class, preparing adventures
which may cost a great deal to the
world"

DRIVE
ON INTO CHINA
"Will Invade Until Re-
sistance Stops"

SHANGHAI, April ID. - Japanese
forces smashed the Chinese salient
today, driving the defending forces
into a desperate retreat alonk the
whole Long Pass front. Kienchangy-
ing was evacuated by the Chinese
after heavy bombardment; the Jap
anese are pressing rapidly toward
Funing fifteen miles southeast Of the
Leng Pass, while the Japanese right
flank captured Kupei.
The Japanese advance will continue
ash long as the Chinese forces resist,
the Japanese military mission in
Mukden stated today. This means
that Japan will press to the gates
of Peiping and Tientsin, bringing the
whole Ivan River valley "a natural
buffer territory directly east of the
former Chinese cspitaD into japanese
hands.

MCDONALD SEEKS
ANTI-SOVIET AID
No Other Agreement
With United States

LONDON, April IA. In a speech
before the House of Commons yes
terday Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald denied that any agreement
could possibly be reached at WASH
ington in conversations with Roose-
welt. eve want only an understand
ing" said Macdonald.
That the prime minister was aware
that the United States, by calling
the series of conferences with repre-
sentatives Of AZ nations was trying
to establish its own leadership over
the world economic conference and
to gain advantages in the arms con-
ference was plain by his statement
that England would not try to en-
courage the United States to Change
it's traditional policy of avoiding Eu-
ropean entanglements."
May Be Exception" 10 Rule
The only possible exception to that
rule, said Macdonald, would be in
case it was necessary for unity Of
action in defining an "aggressor ma
ton, since America is a party to an
agreement setting forth that point"
Certain threatening influences"
said Macdonald, menace the peace
of the world" and 1t is to be hoped
that some agreement can be reached
in trying to solve such problems.
This statement was clearly under
stood by the House Of Commons as
reference to the British imperialist
campaign of provocation against the
Soviet Union.
That Macdonald recognizes that
the only point on which the United
States and Britain can agree is
mutual hatred and fear of the Soviet
Union was made clear.

Truck Driver "Well Treated
Last week, one Of the truck drivers
OF the Whittier bakery in Berlin was
attacked by Nazis and dragged to the
barracks. From there, he was taken
in a taxi to the notorious murder
den in the Friedrichstrasse where he
was beaten until he became uncon-
scious. He was then forced to lick
the boots of some Nazi workmen at
the Whittier Bakery. When asked
whether he had been well-treated, he

On March rs, special police raided
the home of the Secretary of the

brutal fashion, breaking the furni-

Comrade Dittbaender and his chill

More Corpses
Reports have appeared in the Ger

the fact that NaI gangs have on
several occasions gone to the homes
Of workers leaders who died several

who died three years ago, was raided
by Nazi storm troops, who arrested
his fifteen-year old son, and took him
to Nazi barracks. Nothing has been
