At the trial of the 19 men who were sentenced by Mr. Justice Swift at Old

for seditious conspiracy, the Attorney- Bailey to various terms of imprisonment

General (Sir Douglas Hogg, K.C.) who led for the prosecution, said: The nature of the conspiracy. which we undertake to prove is that these 12 defendants were the begils in this country-the supreme controt being in Moscow-of an "legal organisation, calling itself the Communist Party of Great Britain, and the illegality which we allege against that organisation is that it was an organisation which had į as its object the overthrow by arms of the existing state of society and es means to that end the seduction from their allegiance of the armed forces of the Crown.

XOSCOW HEADQUARTERS.

He pointed out that the supreme head. of the Communist Party resided in Mos cow, where was held the World Congress, the decisions of which were binding upon all branches of the party in any part of the world. In England an executive com- mittea directed the affairs of the party in this country. subject always to the instructions it got from and the decisions taken in Moscow. In connection with the Communist International there had been formed a body called the Young Com- munist International, organised for the purpose of getting boys and girls when they left school and went into industry.

After reading extracts from Communist documents, Sir Douglas said that the duties of the members of the Young Com- munist League were, according to the report of the Communist International, to corrupt the soldiers of the Imperialist States England, for instance and seduce them so that if they were ordered to take part in a foreign war they would instead start a civil war.

"A more dangerous doctrine," he com- mented, "if it met with any success, it is hardly possible for us to conceive. What would have happened if the Army bad mutinied when the last war broke out is best left to the imagination.”

Sir Douglas quoted from a document latin which the report of a speech by Gal- lacher contained the word "Bolsheviks."

Mr. Justice Swift (severely): Let that person be turned out of court.

The Attorney General said that the document from which he had quoted was printed in Sweded.
