TROTSKY GUARDED
ISOLATION AT OSLO / SECRETARIES DEPORTED (Received August 31, 5.5 p.m.) OSLO, August 30 Following upon Trotsky's admission of having corresponded with organisations in France and elsewhere that were in sympathy with his ideals, he was asked to sign more stringent conditions for his continued stay in Norway, but refused. The Ministry of Justice thereupon decided that he should be immediately interned. Trotsky's two secretaries were deported and the police afterwards escorted him to a house in which he will remain isolated and closely guarded until a suitable new home is found for him. The majority of the members of the Cabinet are on holiday, but the Foreign Minister, Dr. Koht, speaking of Trotsky, says: "The present Government of Norway will maintain the principle of asylum. We will not let ourselves be subdued in such matters by anyone."
