UNREST IN RUSSIA
TROOPS DISPERSE CROWD DEMONSTRATION IN FAVOUR OF TROTSKY. (A. & N.Z.) ‘ PARIS, Nov. 21. L’lntransigeant’s special Moscow correspondent states that demonstrations in favour of M. Trotsky are occurring throughout Russia. Troops had to disperse the demonstrators in several places. The Moscow and Leningrad garrisons are confined to barracks, and the Baltic fleet is in a state of unrest. The paper Populaire publishes a letter from Fenner Brockway, president of the British Independent Labour Party, refusing M. Rykoff’s invitation to the Soviet’s tenth anniversary. Mr Brockway states: “My reason is that there are groaning in your prisons and exile camps hundreds of Socialists, whose love of social justice and liberty has been proved by many in the Tsarist days. How could I be the guest of those keeping them in prison or exile? Their imprisonment is an exaggerated expression of that intolerance of opposition which seeks to impost silence on Trotsky, Zinovieff, Kamencff and Rakovsky.”
