AssassinatiOns


BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Jan. "a
reserve officer of the United States
Army, Chemical Warfare Division,
is the editor of The Fascist, a Rus
sian language newspaper advocat-
ing assassination, sabotage, spying
and destruction in the Soviet Union
for the overthrow Of the Soviet gov
eminent.
This fact was revealed to the
Daily Worker today from two
sources. Cd BY an interview with
this individual in the Sunday
Herald of Bridgeport, and ~ from
a naval officer in Boston, Mass
achusetts who knew Anastase A.
Vonsia5sky in Paris where he posed
as prince" and in the United
States after he married the rich
daughter of the late Norman B.
Ream, textile baron.
Immediately after the assassins-
ton of Sergei Kirov in Leningrad,
Vonsiatsky, who had advocated just
such tactics against Communists,
published another issue of his Fas-
cist in the Russian language in
which his main editorial on the
front page, entitled Our Road to
Freedom" urges his readers to con-
tinue widespread terrorism"
against the Soviet Union.
The Terrorist Editorial
The editorial in full reads as fol-
lows
"The road OF salvation for all
Russia is % General damage;
~ Widespread terrorism; 80
Broad uprisings Of the people;
~ Russian propaganda and fas-
cist Orgs IMITATION.
"AlI these four roads will lead
us to victory.
These four roads are indicated
by Russian fascism. Fate itself
calls us along these paths, for
there are no other roads besides.
Comrades, continue with deter
mination along this road. Spare
no efforts. Break everything
which stands in the way. No
price is too high to pay for the
overthrow of Communism. But
remember one thing - the entire
struggle must 60 under the name
of fascism and under one all
Russian slogan. Otherwise there
will be chaos"
Vonsiatsky, who seems to be hsv-
ing some relations with the United
States State Department. openly
calls for war against the Soviet
Union. In his interview with the
Sunday Herald correspondent he
declared:
I'm case of war between the Reds
and the Japs, we, the Russian Fas-
cists, will fight shoulder to shoulder
with the Japs. In Manchuria alone
we can mobilize an army of $4,000
Russians"
Plotted with Nszis
Vonsiatsky has made trips to Fas-
cist Germany, where he held con-
versations with Nazi officials on war
preparations against the Soviet
Union, and the utilization of Fascist
Russians against the u S. S. r. He
has also been to Hardin, Manchuria,
where he met with the White
Guard troops armed by the Japan
csc imperialists.
| AS ar officer of the U. S. Army
Reserve Corps, Vonsiatsky is allowed
to ann himself. He has poison and
tear gas bombs in his home in large
quantities.
THE Herald reporter" says the
Sunday Herald interview with Won
siatsky, never saw so many guns
in all his life. except at an armoTy,
! than at the Thompson home Of the
Russian exile Vonsiatsky is an
American citizen.
zone little corridor off the large
lounge room is lined on both sides
with very business-like muskets.
1T is no secret that Vonsiatsky
is one of the licensed holders of a
machine gun which he keeps handy
in the Thompson home. And gas
bombs are part OF the equipment OF
the estate"
The United States government
and the local authorities in Con-
necticut permit this Russian White
Guard and openly a.owed assassin
and enemy Of the Soviet Union to
arm to the teeth. H is allowed to
keep machin guns, and no one can
say how many spies he has helped
to arm TO send into the Soviet
Union for the work of assassination
or sabotage. All of this goes on
with the full knowledge of the State
Department agents, as some of them
have visited Vonsiatsky, but nothing
was done about it.
