The Helsingfors correspondent of the' "Morning Post" says that the Secretary- General of the central committee of the Communist Party, M.

Yagoda, former Minister of Communications, who was arrested and recently was shot in his cell, and those at various Trotskyist trials, both M. Stalin and the Commissar of War* M. Voroshilov, have lost all faith in their Jewish associates. All officers, and men of Jewish blood have already been dismissed from the army, while the expul.sion .of Jews from Government institutions, banks, and trade organisations is reported to be proceeding with extreme severity.
