SOVIET DISCORD

TROTSKY’S CHARGES.

OPPOSITIONISTS WARNED,

TO DESIST OR BE EXPELLED,

aY CABLR —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPY EIGHT. LONDON, May 31. The Riga correspondent of “The Times,” commenting on a warlike Soviet manifesto appealing to oppressed peoples to prepare for a furious and ruthless grappe with Imperialist cutthroats, says the Social Democratic Party ha„s betrayed the- revolutionary movement. Regarding the Communist split, the correspondent states that during a stormy session, Trotsky openly assailed his hearers of the Communist Party, charging them with treachery and perfidy, and demanded the reinstatement of the excluded German Communists. RIGA, May 31. The Communist International passed a resolution giving Trotsky and. other opposition leaders a last warning to desist from sowing discord in the party or he expelled. The resolution added that Trotsky’s accusation that the present Communist leaders had frustrated the Chinese revolution and bungled the revolutionary work in 'Great Britain, was particularly unpardonable, because, since the Anglo-Soviet breach, the revolutionary movement stood at the cross roads.
