CORRUPTION IN RUSSIA
10,000 OFFICIALS WILE BE DISMISSED JOBS FOR MALCONTENTS LONDON, Friday. The Riga correspondent of “The Times” says the Soviet lias begun a “new purge” of untrustworthy officials, 10.000 of whom will he dismissed before May Day, including a majority of theformer members of the intelligentsia and the bourgeoise, whose places will be taken by proletarians. This action is ostensibly to end the widespread corruption in the financial and taxation departments, hut it is chiefly due to the necessity of bribing the most active malcontents with official posts, and removing them from the ranks of the workers, where a spirit of revolt has developed, owing to the recent curtailment of trades union authority, and the continued scarcity of food.
