Among the terrorist plots that have been bared are attempts on the life of Chicherin, commissar of foreign af- fairs, attempts at the assassination of various Soviet representatives in Ber- lin, and the brutal murder of Varov- sky. The plans of various white terror- ist groups, organized with the aid of the British, included the assassina- tion of Stalin, Bukharfn and Rykoff. Various attempts at stirring the pea- santry to revolt were made. The at- tempts were futile because of the un- swerying loyalty and profound devo- tion of the workers and peasants to the Soviet government.

S, just a little too friendly with “our” late ene- mies, still oppressed by the Dawes plan. The Hindenburg officialdom and the Nationalist party has seized on the occasion of Chamberlin and Levine's visit to make some adverse criticism of Lindbergh, who, under similar diplomatic guidance, ab- stained from entering any but al- lied countries. At the advice of the American embassy, Chamberlin and Levine have decided to forego the pleasure of meeting their wives on their ar- rival at Bremen next week and have accepted invitations which will keep them away from Berlin for ten days or more. 500 N.Y, Workers to Visit Soviet Union On Six Weeks’ Tour 500 workers of New York will have an opportunity of making a tourists’| trip to U.

The World Tourists, Inc., which has just opened offices at 41 Union Square, Room 803, are the sponsors of this enterprise. They plan to charter the tourist division of the steamer “Grip- sholm,” a new 2500-ton slip of the Swedish American Line and sail for Soviet Russia “the middle of next month for a six weeks tour. The trip will take in Leningrad, Moscow and a number of other neighboring cities under the guidance of the U. 8. S. R. Committee for Cultural Relations with Russia. While there have been several stu- dent delegations and other special travel groups to Moscow, this marks the beginning of general tourist travel. The American party, which is to be sub-divided into small groups when it reaches Russia, will travel with inter- | preters and be received by delegations at the various factories and public in- stitutions, which are on the itinerary, Because of the housing shortage in Soviet Russia, such a tour would be impossible unless arrangements were made with some such group as the Committee for Cultural Relations, board of directors of Pacific Railways where. of Nicaragua and the National Bank | \of Nicaragua, Half the surplus of all | treasury revenues and the new taxes | lestablished in 1927 are mortgaged to | |the bankers.
