Summary/Abstract: The Timisoara communist daily The Banat fighter continues to publish articles about the new orientation, i.e. procommunist, and about the ten existing situation in southwest Romania. It continues the same coarse language from the international and Romanian communist press, imitated by Karl Marx, developed by V.I. Lenin and driven to paroxysm by Stalin, A.A. Zhdanov, etc., and, in our country, by about a thousand communists, as many as it is estimated that there were on August 23, 1944. Now, the Soviet soldier appears everywhere, even recording his appearance in the role of public budget. This was also done to confer a certain popularity, which contradicted the truth, manifested by the crimes and robberies committed by the Soviet army. The Banat communist press reacted, and in a very clear way, to the decrees published in The Official Monitor, in Banat, regarding the cleansing of justice, the central state apparatus and the local administration of the elements considered fascist and pro-fascist. Now, there has also been a communique by which it is practically mandatory to change the Soviet ruble or leu into Romanian money. This had to be done under the pretext of fighting specula, the exchange rate being the one fixed by the Soviet authorities. Communists begin to call for the so-called cleansing of factories and businesses of fascists. The communist activity of attracting, in the Single Trade Unions, the most different categories of workers and craftsmen continues.
