GIGANTIC FARCE
TO DIVERT ATTENTION
FAILURE OF FIVE-YEAR PLAN LONDON, 9th December. The fact that the Russian death sentences have been commuted after all has persuaded most people that the treason trial at Moscow was a gigantic farce. The "Morning Post's" diplomatic correspondent says it is obvious that tho trial was staged for internal political purposes. It is essential to give the ignorant peasantry and gullible proletariat some valid reason for the obvious failure of the Five-Year-Plan for industrialisation. The "Daily Express" says: "So ends the biggest burlesque on justice staged in our time. The whole thing has been a put-up job."
