RUSSIA'S .HOSTILITY

VOICED BY KRYLENKO

DURING MOSCOW TRIAL

(Received 6th December, 2.30 p.m.)' MOSCOW, sth December. Tho Prosecutor, Krylenko, in tha Russian trial, is disregarding the Judge's ruling that hostile references must not be made publicly about foreign Powers. Krylenko shook a menacing finger at tho defendants, ' and shouted tho name of. "Poincare" at tha accused. "Poineare has been working hand ia glove with tho counter-revolution-aries," ho said. "If Poincare want 3 to know all the details of this plot, we'll let him have them. I'll let him know that our popple.are ready for tho worst, and when the time comes we will fight as one man to meet tho crisis, armed and prepared. '' Confronting the accused, who wera stoically smoking cigarettes though visions of a firing squad must have been before their eyes, Krylenko demanded that they all be executed. He 'denounced them as plotters, grafters, and wreckers, ana described as a pure fake the French denials of the confessions involving the French members of the General Staff. Several of the reports were confirmed by the conference ia Paris between Poincare and leaders of the committee of Russian industry in Paris. M. Poineare's attempt to dismiss the trial as a joke was a trivial polemical trick. Krylenko wound up by quoting extracts from Lenin's writings advocating tho death of enemies of tho workers.
