TROTSKY DEFIANT. WILL YIELD ONLY TO FORCE. (Received This Dav, 11.45 a.m.) BERLIN, January 10. Soviet circles confirm the statement that 52 oppositionists, including Trotsky, have been ordered to be banished for three years, during which each will receive a pittance of nine roubles a month. Some have already been deported to the Siberian wilderness or the cholera areas. It is denied that Zinovieff and Kameneff have been banished. It is hinted that the former secured immunity by writing an aMi-Trotsky pamphlet. It is reported that Paitakoff (formerly trade representatve in France), was ordered, as a punishment, to go to Australia to buy wool. Paitakoff is reported to have ironically replied: "First time I dealt in sheep was when I became opposed to the Stalinites. Therefore I am not qualified to serve as a wool expert." Trotsky holds that only force will take him to banishment in Astrakan.
