UNEXPECTED RETORT.
I.L.P. Official And Lack Of
Tolerance.
INVITATION REFUSED,
(Received 1.30 p.m.)
PARIS, November 21
The newspaper "Populaire" publishes a letter from Mr. Fenner Brockwar, President of the British Independent Labour party refusing Rykoff's invitation to the Soviet's tenth anniversary. Mr. Brockway states: My reason is that you are crowding your prisons and exile camps with hundreds or Socialists whose love of the social justice and liberty has been proved by great courage in the Zarist days. How could Ibe the guest of those keeping them in prison and exile. Their imprisonment is an exaggerated expression of that intolerance of the opposition which seeks to impose silence on Trotsky, Zinovieff, Kamenev and Rakovyuy.
