the defendants had attempted to
save themselves By testifying against
Thornton. Referring to confessed
confederation Braude asked,
care such people incapable of COM

this question he replied, "They are

Regarding the charge Of bribery,
Breude asserted the English law APP

1ddov, veteran bsrrister, in his de-
tense of Custny, discarded the tricks
Of orstory, of which he is no small
master. He tried instead the keen
weapon Of cold logic and searching
analysis.
Examining the nature of the evid-
ence against Cushny, Lidov attempt
ed to show that most of the evidence
consisted Of sheer testimony, and
that the remaining evidence was in
direct, giving grounds for reasonable
doubt.
Had Right 10 Report TO Thornton
AS TO gathering information, which
Cushny had admitted in his own tes-
tinony, Lidov thought his client was
well within his rights to report to his
superior, Thornton, about conditions
in the localities he visited, even
about tine political sentiments Of
workerx
Similar reports to q foreigner by
Soviet citizens, Lidov pointed out,
would be a crime and evidence of evil

JAPANESE Invade
North China; Plan
Nepv Pubbet State

SHANGHAI, April 19.-The TRAN
gular area bounded by the Great
Wall on the north, the sea on the
east, and the Ivan River on the
south and west, has now been COM
pletely occupied by the Japanese.
The Chinese headquarters has been
withdrawn to Tangshan, on the rail-
way line which runs TO Tientsin.
Every indication now is that the
Japanese will continue to advance
until the entire territory north of the
Peiping -Tientsin line is in their
hands.
Eugene Chen, former Foreign Min
lister, in a speech given yesterday,
urged the Chinese government to at
tempt to shut off the life blood Of
Japanese power by organizing q
joint American Chinese Indian boy
colt of all Japanese products. Speak
ing for the Chinese native bour-
geoisie, which wants to exploit the
Chinese masses itself, and without
the help of the Japanese, Chen is
anxious to profit by the sharp an
tagonism between American and
Japanese capital, to weaken the
economic position of the latter The
sphere of influence in China of Great
Britain and the U. S. A. is being
continually narrowed as the area of
Soviet China extends in the south

Capitalists Dazed

LONDON, april 19.-The annual
report OF the Liverpool Chamber
of Commerce, published yesterday,
is another evidence of the bank
ruptcy of the capitalist class and
its lack of belief in itself, sunk
into a defeatest mood under the
impact of the r-worsening
crisis. The report says: 1--WE have
already passed the stage where we
have started to neglect trade. AL

The negation of trading has al

Daily Worker Correspondent

N0ssAAJ FOAASA Su4AGENSAAACAAst
MOSCOW, April 10 (By Radio
gram.)-In the Hobbies, buffet, and
smoking room outside the courtroom,
your correspondent talked with many
foreigners and Soviet citizens attend
ing the trial. AS the case unraveI-
led, and evidence piled up, I could
not find anyone who retained the
faintest doubt of the guilt OF the
MetrOpoIitan-V ickers engineers. Com
menJs centered around the judicial
procedure Of the Soviet courts.
Even the most conservative of the
foreign correspondents expressed re-
spsct and approval for Vishinski, for
his brilliant direction of the prosecu-
ton, and for the thorough and fair
preliminary examination. The at
tempt of Monkhouse to repeat the
Qualifications voiced by British diplom-
acy and by the diehard English press
concerning alleged third degree"
methods, ended in complete rout:
Monkhouse, as you already know, was
forced to admit his error" in having
stated he had been questioned for
eighteen hours continuously, and
apologized, however grudgingly, be-
fore the court. This apology knocked
the last prop from under the edifice
of monstrous falsehoods voiced by
British diplomacy and eceoed by the
reactiOnary press concerning "GPU
tortures".
Burst British Lies of Torture.
When court had adjourned for the
day, a few moments after Monkhouse
has made his apology, an American
correspondent in the lobby said jok-
ingly to his British colleague: "Hur-
ry up. You may still get news over
in time for the late edition" The
British newspaper man replied: TITS
never too late for bad news.
This bursting of the diehard bubble
about GPU textures was certainly bad
news to British imperialism, but it
was only one Of several severe jolts
received by British diplomacy and
the frenzied imperialist press in this
trial, hdaCDonald's confession, coupled
with the publication of Thornton
now historic testimony In which he
gave away the whole game and re-
vealed ~ entire network of his spy
ing outfit, linking it through Rich
ards to the British Intelligence Serv-
ice,-was the first and perhaps the
hardest blow to the English imperial
i5t camp.
In the face OF these revelations, the
assertions made by Baldwin and other
British public men concerning the
Innocence" Of the defendants ap-
peared in the eyes of foreigners here
as the biggest piece of diplomatic
bungling in recent years.
The last trump of Thornton's pat
rons in London was to villifv the
Soviet courts, to represent the Soviet
courts and judicial system as bar
barous, arbitrary, and what not. But
here again the defeat of the die
hsrdS was complete.
In the course of the trial, it be-
came more and more apparent that
the Soviet Investigators we're pains
taking in ascertaining facts. in check

terial evidence, in discarding testi-
mony unsubstantiated by facts, etc.

Defense Fails to Pierce Case
Against British Engineers

From Our Special Correspondent
MOSCOW, US.S.R., April 10 CBy
Radiogran) The trial of the six
English and eleven Russian engin-
GERS accused Of sabotage and spying,
in which. as reported, all were found
guilty except the two British en-
gineers, Charles Nordwau and A, ".
Gregory, vas featured yesterday BY
brilliant summing up made by the
Russian defense counsel for the &C
cused.
The defense undertaking the ar
6uous task of weakening the crushing
weight Of evidence, made the most
of wfaateg er weaknesses they could
see in aaEs prosecutions case, The
most outstanding lawyers in the Sow
let Union, having assumed the bur-
den of refuting what appears to the
layman to be the unshakable case
of the state prosecutor, divided their
line of defense into two categories:
Plead Extenuati0n
In the case of defendants who
had pleaded guilty. the defense
pleaded extenuating circumstances.
In the case Of the defendants who
had pleaded not guilty the defense
attempted to refute or weaken the
evidence against them,
In the latter category belong the
speeches made this morning by At
torney Braude for Thornton. by Dol
nlatowski for NordYall, and by Lidov
for Cushny. These three British
subjects, accused of wrecking, espion~
age and counter -revolutionary plot
ting. certainly can have no com
plant as to the calibre of the Dc
fense offered in their behalf by as
shrevd and gifted lawyers as ever
pleaded against Overwhelming odds
Of the gravest possible evidence.
Argues For Thornton
Perhaps the most outstanding
speech for the defense was made by
Braude for Thornton. Braude is one
Of the most distinguished lawyers
known before the revolution, and is
even more famous today as pleader
before the Soviet courts.
Braude admitted the weakness OF
his case, but argued that Thornton
had not the same evil genius as the
other defendants The naost serious
charge against Thornton Is sabotage,
ne stated, and "T can understand
Is1ornton's rejection of tire accuse
ton of terror"
He declared that although Thorn
ton had confessed everything else
during the preliminary investigation,
he had not admitted sabotage. He
reminded the court of the recon-
nendation by the prosecution Of the
aeouittal of Gregory.

With a little gasp OF amazement

Joyce.

Joyce listened to this appeal with
mixed emotions.
"Of course, I'm :. I'm interested

her way and smiling pleasantly as
she spoke, 'but I'm not riding any
more in shows and I'd rather not

I'm I'd like to help in any other

Her acquiescence was received
with gratefully effusive thanks. The
girl then rose, hcsitated for a mo-
ment and said, with little wistful
air which Joyce felt instinctively
was not wholly genuine, Il wish we

Who was this girl anyhow? Won
dered Joyce, slightly exasperated by
her meek manner. There had evi-
IDENTIFY been some unpleasantness be-
tween Frills and her. But before she
had to speak she was saved by the
arrival of Neil.
"Well, look who's here! Hullo,
Joyce, how are your he exclaimed,
shaking hands cordially with her.

well, why not sit down? What's
your hurry" went on Neil in his
heartiest manner, what do you

"Oh, it's just fine, but I must run
along now. l just came to ask Frills
if she'd help on the affair for the
Orphans Vacation Camp. Goodbye
and thanks ever so much"
Goodbye" said Joyce. She spoke
shortly, more because she could not
think of anything to say than be-
cause she wished to be disagreeable.
Neil accompanied the caller out to
her roadster. Joyce. watching sur
reptitiously, was again amused to
see the interest with which Neil
listened and the appealing little
glances Joyce Abbott threw at him
from her expressive blue eyes.
"I've got her number" thought
| Joyce, "she's the ultrafeminine sort
who clings and makes the men feel
big and strong and masculine"
Thinking over the past month,
Joyce was conscious of a baffled
feeling OF dissatisfaction when lit
came to her knowledge Of Fr;l!s'
own past.
In another direction also Joyce
felt herself checked. She was no
nearer accomplishing her purpose OF
