Capitalists.
DRASTIC PUNISHMENT.
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) LONDON, October 18.
The Moscow correspondent of the "Daily News" says the Soviet's chief prosecutor, Krilenko, addressed a conference on prison reform.
He said: "So long as capitalism exists we must, and shall, continue shooting people who are dangerous to our society and our regime."
Krilenko deplored .the ever-increasing number of short terms of imprisonment inflicted on workers. He explained that he was drafting a bill to standardise punishment for non-political offences and to give the same punishment to ali convicted persons followed by lifelong exile. Criminals who escaped imprisonment would be deported to Siberia, punished by boycott or by being allotted compulsory labour.
