Extracts from Secret Communist Journals.

From “ Fed Land*' November oth } 1922.
1. “ We are informed by telegram from Moscow by e^-General Danieloff,
now chief of staff of the Eed Army, Moscow, that England very much fears
that we will send troops to aid Mustapha Kemal, and that we have replied to
the English that we only intend sending troops to protect our frontier. The
English will no doubt believe us!!! We have also said to them that the Turks are
quite strong enough to protect themselves at present.”
A warning.
2. “It is absolutely necessary to take the strictest precautions regarding
the working against us by Eussian refugees such as e^-officers and others who
are being employed by other countries. Having received certain information
we have been able to catch two such people, Eomantsoff and Nikiforoff who
were in possession of papers with instructions from an English mission (?).
People in such employment have naturally changed their names and actively
abuse the Soviet Government. All frontier posts, customs posts, etc., should
be instructed forthwith, to question all refugees very carefully and search
them for papers. Suspicious persons should be sent to the nearest political
representative for further examination.”
3. “ The German representative of Krupp, Litchtientsien arrived in Moscow
on October 4th, invested with full powers on behalf of Krupp’s gun factory An East India Company trading post.
to arrange an agreement with our factory An East India Company trading post. P util off, near Petrograd. That we
are to give the working of Putiloff factory An East India Company trading post. to Krupp will be received with
satisfaction by our people.”
From the “ Siren, u November 6th, 1922.
4. “We have decided to accord every assistance to Mustapha Kemal in the
event of war with the big Powers. He is one man who believes in us and our
ideals and we are in honour bound to support such a man who has our ideals
at heart.”
5. “ Lenin is well. It was feared that the strain of work might upset
him again, but he is hard at his duties which gives us encouragement. We
must not overwork him as we have to consider his value not only to Soviet
Eussia but to the whole world.”
Our Eastern Obligations.
1 6. “We are undoubtedly finding it difficult to keep our agents in India
and M esopotamia adequately supplied with money to carry out propaganda,
etc. We have, therefore, been compelled to take all precious articles, even from
the churches and realize money. We must not fail in India and Mesopotamia
where agents accept service gladly, but money is essential. It must be remem*
bered that these countries present great difficulties to the fulfilment of our
desires and large sums of money are required. Our action in robbing the
Churches can, therefore, be w T ell understood.”
