SOVIET OFFICIALS BLAMED
Plots Against Regime Moscow, March 29. The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, M. Joseph Stalin, setting out a new programme against sabotage and Trotskyism, declares that France and England are full of German spies and wreckers, while Germany is equally full of English and French spies and diversiouists. He asks why, therefore, should they take up a more friendly attitude toward the Soviet and send fewer wreckers and spies there. He adds that the capitalist countries are only awaiting a chance to attack and conquer the Soviet Union. M. Stalin blames higher Soviet officials for not detecting plots against the regime, and declares that M. Trotsky’s reserves are inside and outside Russia.
