TROTSKY IN EXILE
A PRESS EXPLANATION. REASONS FOR SOVIET’S ACTION. EX-LEADER NOW IN TURKEY. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) Received 1.5 p.m., to-day. BERLIN, Jan. 30.
The first official announcement re Tritslty’s exile is made in the Communist organ “Retfatine,” which says that exile was a necessary act of revolutionary self defence owing to Trotsky’s alleged campaign to disintegrate the Red Army and his subversive propaganda among factory hands and peasants. Moscow understands that Trotsky was allowed to go to Turkey of his own free will. The fact that he was permitted to leave caused some surprise, because it w r as thought that Stalin preferred to have him under constant suryillance. On the other hand it is pointed out that Stalin could iro afford to allow a halo of martyredom to invest Trotsky, whose activities and utterances are less effective outside Russia.
