Purge Of Soviet-Fatty Continues

Apace With

150 Official

Executions To Date.

(By Charles P. Nutter Associated Press Staff Wrliirr)

MOSCOW, March ‘i-Nevcr in modern history has so much hum- an blood been spilled in avbrrging the death oi one man, Moscow ob- servers believe. at in the sen- satlonal murder oi sersei Kiwi!-

When an assassin killed Kiroff at Leningrad Dec. l. 1934, he was not a very prominent figure.

Since then, however. 150 official e':e:utiqxis have taken place as a

Yect outgrowth of the assassin- atlon. Jails hold 23 other person‘ confined for the maximum term of 10 years. Forty-nine more were banished to concentration camps and 29 exiled to Siberia.

And that is only the beginning of what some observers picture as a heavy cloud over thc Soviet‘; future.

Several hundred persons-per- haps thousands-are under ar're.t and awaiting trial as the result of direct or indirect ramifications of Kiroiis death. Many of these seem almost certain to await only the firing squad. ,

These tolisdo not include per- :ons reported secretly executed Just after the crime or several others said to have committed sul- cide while under examination by Government officials.

Although Klroiis death caused surface indications of national grici not seen in Soviet Russia since the death of lenin. Kimff was comparatively obscure as a world figure and wa" not even especially prominent-until his death-at home.

ft is believed the vengeful blood purge since his assassination was because Joseph Stalin had mode Klroff a favorite, possibly had sel- ected him as his own succrsor.

Kiroif. then 46. ms head of the

Communist party in Leningrad at the time of his death. Also. he was a membcr of the Politburenu, the inner circle of 10 men who control the Communist party and, there- fore, the government and destinies of the Soviet Union. .

The actual slayer, an unknown civil employee. Leonid Nkolirveff, 36. was among the first executed. A tctml of 117 men wore shot in the first 45 days following the crime.

I think the Government have placed themselves in a very favor- able position againtt critics who. like myself, for e long time have been urging more active and time- Iy measures.

"The parliamentary position of the Government is as strong as it can possibly be. The fact the Gov- ernment are going forward with a five-year plan for armament on this scale is evidence of our grea financial strength."

OTTAWA, March 4—-Wettr<rn farniers suffered a loss of from $50,000,000 to $60,000,000 through the operations of tire present Wheat Board iiczidcfi by James R. . Murray, according to E. E. Pcrley j (Cons. QirAppelie), who spoke lll ilie bud-got debate in the House of Commons today.

In a VlQOPOI-l» attack on the ad- lflifllstfflllOll of the Wheat Board Act under the pre out Government Mr. Perlcy charged the Board with a "crime against the producer" and claimed the farmers had been “be- trayed, exploited, double-crossed and sacrificed."

By refusing to purchase wheat at a iixcd minimum price during the present crop year the Government had practically repealed the Wheat Beard Act, said Mr. Perlcy. It had appointed a Royal Commissioner who would not make a report until next session but the Government should declare it; policy now.

"The farmers mean to ztick by tho Wheat Bonrd Act regardless of what the Turgeon report may say,” he said. “That act is here to stay. The farmer-s of Western Canada will not stand the skiillduggery that took place last summer with respect 0o the marketing of their wheat." ‘

As a rcwult of that policy Canadian wheat hrrcl been bought for l0 to 15 cents a buhcl less than would otherwise have been the case. Dirring the past summer. he went on.
