MOSCOW SILENT
NO NEWS OF TROTZKY RUMOURS OF DEATH By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. LONDON, Thursday. Rumours continue to be circulated regarding the fate of Trotzky, but Moscow is silent. The Soviet Embassy in Berlin describes as obviously false a report from Warsaw that Trotzky was shot while attempting to escape from Russia. The Riga correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” says that at a secret conference Stalin and his closest supporters at the Kremlin considered the question of the arrest, trial and imprisonment of Trotzky, Zinovieff and others, and alternatively, their banishment. The decision was not disclosed, but it is believed one or other method will be adopted shortly. The real motive for the hesitancy is fear of investing the opposition with the glory of martyrdom.—A. and N.Z.
