THE SOVIET SPLIT.
TROTSKY PARTY’S POLICY. OVERTHROW OF LEADERS. (Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.15 a.m.) MOSCOW, January 16. The newspaper “Pravda” publishes two seized documents addressed to supporters of Trotsky abroad instructing them in the policy to pursue. It is stated that the documents show that the Trotskyites do not intend to create an independent party but to attempt to overthrow the present leadership. They point out the necessity for energetic preparations for the next Congress of Labour Unionists and the International Communist International on March 15. Adherents are instructed to exert every endeavour to see that oppositionist representatives are present to defend the programme and fight against the disciplinary measures adopted by the Stalinites. The documents declare that the difficulties of the Soviet are due to insufficient activity among the European proletariat and to lack of fighting ability in the European Communist parties. They outline proposals based on the idea of a world Communist party, adding that the present programme is suited for home purposes only.
