Dixon, Illinois, Monday, January 19, 1948 Reds Concentrate Revolution Efforts on Weak Germany Bulgarian Premier Puts Pressure on His Assembly By DcWITT Mai-KEXZIE (AP Foreign All airs Analyst) Communism has been ruthless duea-action ever since the Bolshevist 1 evolution of 1917, but there have never been few more chilling clemonsliations than that given by Bulgaria's Communist piemier, Geoigi Dimitiov, in cracking the whip over his national assembly. I referred to this in a previous column, but it's a story which can't oe repeated too otten, foi it epitomizes Soviet "democracy perfectly Dimitiov, who is one of the chief leaders of Bolshevism and is Moscow's right-hand man in the Balkans, became mluriated when nine deputies dared to criticize his budget. He threatened them with hanging unless they jumped mto line and the budget was adopted. The "Freedom" They Offer That the fieedom which communism offers you and me in exchange four our own bill ot rights. We are advised to install a dictator in the national capital, with virtual power of life and death over the populce.

That, too, is the "freedom" which communism is trying to impose on the countries of western Europe in defiance of the Marshall plan. This bungs us up to a development in Moscow's drive to wreck the Maishall project The anti-Communist piess in -western Germany has published what is alleged to be a scheme by the newly formed Bolshevist Connn-torm to cnpple great industrial Ruhr This would be calculated to deliver a body blow to the Marshall plan, since rehabilitation of Germany is essential to its success, and the coal mines and industries of the Ruhr are the focal point of the Reich's economy Don't Doubt Authenticity British and American headquarters in Geimany are studying details of this reported scheme, and there seems little disposition by either to doubt its authenticity, despite the fact that the Russian-licensed press Berlin says the repoit is nonsense The plan is set forth in what is described as "Piotocol and it would be coordinated by the Commform, which comprises the Communist leaders of nine countries, including Georgi Dimitrov. "Protocol as detailed in the German newspapers, lays down the I operational procedure for creating mass strikes in vital industries 01 western Germany, under Ameri can, British and French control. I he Protocol is quoted as declaring: Plan World Movement "In conjunction with the entire working class 01 all Kuropean counti les, the Geiman working class will, in pieservmg battle foi key positions of production, take over the power. It is not a mattei of ministeis' posts but of jumping off places for the final treeing 01 the pioletaiiat of the world." So if we take the Protocol as a true bill, the Communists are to make the scuttling of Germany one ol their earliest objectives, and it must be admitted that this logical procedure from standpoint because an eco nomically ill Germany means a sick Europe.

Such a scheme would contemplate a rebellious German upheaval which would create chaos upon which the Communists could build a Soviet dictatorship. of Comintern) Apropos of this we shouldn't verlook that the so-called Comm form is widely believed to be a of the old Comintern, or Thud International, which the Bolshevists originally cieated as general staff to direct the pro jected woild i evolution for the establishment of communism. The Comintern bitterly opposed by foreign nations was "abolished" in 1943 Geoigi Dimitrov was for yearh the secretary general of the Comintern and it isn't strange to fine him a member of the new Comm form Nor is it hard to believe that he had a big hand in writing the revolutionary "Protocol 1947 Catastrophies Top 10-Year Record Due mainly to fires, explosions, civilian air transport accidents, and natural calamities, the loss of of life dae to catastrophic accidents was greater in 1947 than for any peacetime year in more than 10 years, Metropolitan Life Insurance company statisticians reported today. In 1947 there were 135 accidents in the United States which took five or moie lives thus coming within the catas trophic accident classification and these caused 2,100 deaths, about 700 more than in 1946, the report said The coal mine explosion in Centraha 111 which resulted in deaths of 111 miners, was cited le woist coal mine accident in nearly two decades.
