Moscow, To-day.
In the course of cross-examination at yesterday's session of the treason trial, Bukharin declared that the Trotskyite plotters were prepared to conclude a military alliance with Germany or the basis of surrender of certain Soviet terri- tories to Germany and repturing of the pacts of mutual assistance between the Soviet and France and Czecho-Slovakia. Bukharin's self-defence continued to domin- ate the evening session. Although Bukharin admitted general responsibility on all counts of the indictment, he persistently denied that- he had plotted to kill Lenin, that he had worked for a foreign intelligence service or had order- ed members of his organisation to organise peasant insurrections.
