(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

One thousand members of the Zionist Socialist Party in Soviet Russia were arrested and exiled to Siberia during the last few months, according to reports received from Russia by the Zionist Socialist Bureau here.

The reports state that the Soviet political police falsified statements of party members, to the effect that they are leaving the Zionist Socialist Party because they considered it to be contra-revolutionary. The newspapers refused to publish the denials of these members, the report states.
