WARSAW PRESS ON SOVIET RUSSIA

Warsaw. Feb. 1. "Is history repeating itself?" is the question asked by the Express Poronny, which states that the present situation and the present happenings in Soviet Russia have a great likeness to the critical period of the French Revolution.

Recalling that after having done away with one after the other of his opponents as well as his for- mer co-operators. Robespierre one day felt the guillotine upon him- self, and the paper wonders whe- ther, after Kamenet, Binoviev, Pintakoff, Badek, Rykoff and Bu- charin, Stalin will not be the next.

It is recalled that Danton once said "After the Revolution has de- voured her children, she invariably devours herself.*

The paper is of the opinion that irreparable damage has been done to the foreign propaganda of the Comiatern by the events in Mos- cow, since it wil be difficult. If not Impossible to rationalize such hap- penings with the utopian picture of the Soviet Paradise, pletured by Comintern propaganda.— Transocean Fawn Service.
