UNREST INCREASING
CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA Communists Determined to Crust Opposition TALK OF CIVIL WAR (By Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright.? Received Nov. 15. 1 a.m. (A. & N.Z.) LONDON, Nov. 14. The Daily Chronicle’s Paris correspondent says a most serious crisis has arisen in Moscow. The Kremlin chiefs are marshalling their forces to copo with the difficulties and all organisations of the Communist Party have received orders from the central committee to take stern action against the opposition. Illegal gatherings must bo dispersed forcibly. Already scores of Trotskyites have been turned out of the Communist Party, and it is expected that arrests and executions will follow. Officials of the Communist Party consider they arc bound to resort to a policy of terrorism, even against their former chiefs. Popular alarm is so prevalent that there is general talk of civil war. Anti-Semitic feeling is also rising, and marked hostility is being shown toward foreigners. Long lines of people wait daily outs’*!*' the food shops. The ferment is increasing, and there is little faith in the ability of the present regime.
