DRIFTING TO ITS END
TROTSKY’S INDICTMENT OF BOLSHEVISM
“THROTTLING INITIATIVE” (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 10.30 a.m. BERLIN, Friday. “Under the present regime Bolshevism is hurriedly drifting to its end,” declares Trotsky in a book which he managed clandestinely to publish. The Soviet ordered the confiscation of the book and the arrest of the publishers, but Trotsky’s supporters managed to smuggle a copy into Germany, where they are publishing it shortly. Trotsky asserts that the rule of revolutionary workers has degenerated and that their bureaucratic system is throttling all industrial and intellectual initiative. He describes the official departments as juggling statistics in order to present a cheerful picture of conditions which are really of the blackest.
