The students are being held charged with possessing litera- ture attacking King Alexander and Premier Zivkovich, the virtual pow- er behind the dictatorship.

The university director yesterday searched the rooms of a Jugo-Slav student and confiscated alleged Communist literature which was found there.

BIG BRITISH LOSS IN SOVIET TRADE Heavy Drop as Result of Anti-USSR Policy MOSCOW, April 12.—In connec tion with the investigation of the possibilities of Soviet trade by the commission of British industrialists in the Soviet Union, the Soviet} publishing data showing the | ve loss to the British by the anti-Soviet attitude of the tory British, government. In 1925-26, the year preceding the rupture of Anglo-Soviet relations, the total trade turnover between Soviet Russia and Great Britain amounted to 312.3 million roubles, of which 187 million ruobles were exports to England and 125.3 mil- lion roubles imports from that coun- try. In 1925-26 Britain’s share of | the Soviet foreign trade amounted to 24.6 per cent. In 1926-27, the year of the break between the two countries, the trade with England was reduced to 294 million roubles, exports amounting to 197 million roubles, while imports declined to only 97 million roubles. Great Britain’s share of Soviet Rus- sia’s foreign trade during that year went down to 22.6 per cent. In 1927-28 the trade with England further declined to 192.3 million roubles, of which 147 million roubles represented exports and 45.3 million roubles imports. During that year England's share of the USSR for- eign trade fell to 13.8 per cent. The reduction of the Soviet exports to England in 1927-28 was due partly | to the sharp decline of grain exports.

American intervention and possible difficulties between the United States and British govern- ment, involving the oil holdings of} both powers in the country, also seen in the situation. News of unrest has been leaking thru the stringent censorship, by which the regime of the tottering dictator, Juan Vicente Gomez, at- tempts to conceal its weakness. To- gether with rumors, more substan- tial reports have reached the Venezuelan revolutionaries here of outbreaks in the interior under the leadership of elements quite as re- actionary as Gomez, but attracting to themselves much of the ill-organ- ized discontent among the wretched peasantry and workers, Outbreaks among the students and certain sections of the troops have also been reported, and tales of the most savage brutality wreaked on the participants in these outbreaks by the dictatorship have reached here. More than 5,000 men and women, many of them workers and peasants, are reported to be in Venezuelan jails. Of this number 400 are stu- dents who took part in a recent out- break in Caracas and were sentenced to hard labor on roads in the tropic interio: Later this group of revo- lutionaries was transferred to a penitentiary. Should the elections prove a signal for a general uprising in the country, it is believed that the United States, which has supported the Gomez dictatorship on account of its oil concessions to U. S, in- terests, will interfere on the old pre- text of safeguarding American property and lives, In this event, it is not at all un- likely that the British, whose in- vestments in Venezuela, now the second largest oil producing land in| tho world, are large, will also seek to take action to safeguard their! lives and property, i. e., their petroleum.
