In this connection it is worth while calling attention to graphite de- posits in the Northern Causasus, near Vladikavkaz in conjunction with which operations for surveying and mining arsenfous ores were carried on Jast year. The layers of the pure graphite are from 5 to 19 centimeters thick. The bset samples from one of the layers at a depth of 12 meters showed a graph- ite content of from 50 to 60 percent. More generally, the graphite content runs from 10 to 50 per cent, It is estimated that the deposits céntain 7,000,000 poods of graphite. The graphite deposits are conveni- ently situated for exploitation only a small distance below the surface, and easily accessible, while climatic con- ditions in the locality are good, Powerful Machine for Baku.

Continuowd ings of the oppressed peasantry were inevitable. The Rou- manian boyars drown them in blood. They have thrown thousands of work- ers and peasants into the ill-famed Roumanian prisons, where prisoners are tortured afd tormented by medie- val methods. At present a monster trial of 500 innocent Bessarabian peas- ants is taking place, the greatest polit- ical trial in the history of class strug- gles. The German proletariat has had bitter experiences with class justice. It knows what the relentless revenge of the bourgeoisie is like. Therefore it has the warmest sym- pathy for 500 Bessarabian peas- ants dnd will hasten to their relief.

Therefore, ityshould also be possible to tear the 500 Bessarabian peasants from the hands of the Roumanian hangman. In all. factories and trade unions the attention of the workers should be drawn to the Roumanian terror. The A. D. G.

Demonstrations should be held in front pf the Roumanian con- sulates, The cry for liberation and revenge should resound in the ears of the bourgeolgia, The influence of the International’ Red Aid among the masses should be strengthened and greater financial support should be given to it.

(Special to The Daily Worker) SYDNEY, Austrial, Sept. 3.—On the arrival of the American naval fleet at Sydney and Melbourne on July 23, the Communist Party of Australia issued a manifesto urging the workers not to be misled by the orgy of extravagant pomp and feasting associated with the visit of the fleet, but to remember that under cover of the pomp and feasting, the preparations of a new war, of dreadful consequence to the working class, would proceed.
