TROTSKY FOR TURKEY
HIS EXILE NECESSARY CONTRADICTORY REPORTS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 1.27 a.m. LONDON, Wed. The British United Press says the Berlin correspondent first official announcement of General Trotsky’s exile was made in the Communist organ “Rotefahne,” which says his exile was a necessary act of revolutionary self-defence, owing to Trotsky’s alleged campaign, to disintegrate the Red Army, and subversive propaganda among the factory workers and peasants. On the other hand, the Press’s Moscow correspondent understands that Trotsky is going of his own free will. The fact that he has been permitted to leave has caused some surprise because it was thought that M. Stalin preferred to have him under constant surveillance. On the other hand, it is pointed out that M. Stalin could not afford a halo of martyrdom to invest Trotsky, whose activities and utterances are less effective outside Russia.
