Cop, .’iebi f (Australian Press Association.) 5.. ■ LONDON, Nov. 4. The Daily Express’ Berlin correspondent"" States that it was the discovery of Trotsky’s look that brought, about .liis banishment. It was discovered just when it was about to bo broadcast throughout the country. The Cheka worked swiftly and silently, and within a couple of days everyone in any way concerned was arrested and exiled to the farthest coiners of Russia. . The entire edition was destroyed.
Trotsky exposes the alleged breakdown of the industrial system, and says; “Soviet Bureaimrac.y is tyrannising over the workers in a wor.se manner than did the former employers.! ‘ The youth ol the country is growing up in illiteracy owing to the failure to organise the schools. The sovereignty of the people is _ mere fiction, all power being vested in the Stalin oligarchy, which immediately removes anyone voicing differing opinions. Official returns of the unemployed in April last year stated that the total was 1,>500 000, but the real number was .2,000,000, and it is steadily increasing ly the- stream of out-of-works pouring into the towns.”
