Transcript | no stand with regard to the views expressed, but presents this material as evidence that representative men and women of intellectual integrity the world over doubt that justice was done at the Moscow trials. It holds that so long as Trotsky is not heard, justice cannot be done, particularly in view of Trotsky's blanket denial of the charges levelled against him. In the interest of economy of space, it has been found necessary to omit the republication of two pamphlets which bear upon the Moscow trials. One is At the Moscow Trial by D. N. Pritt, a London barrister; the other is The Witchcraft Trial in Moscow* by Friedrich Adler, Secretary of the Labor and Socialist International, which contains among other things a detailed reply to Pritt. As we go to press, newspaper reports on the second series of the Moscow trials are coming in. The contents of the depositions made by Radek, Piatakov and the other men have aroused doubts in their authenticity; doubts that are no less grave than those expressed after the first part of the Moscow tragedy. In due course of time we shall try to make available liberal, labor, and socialist comment on the second trial, as well as on those scheduled to follow. It is clear that logically the key to all of these confessions are the proceedings of the first action against Zinoviev, Kamenev and others. For the credibility we assign to the other trials will depend upon whether we believe that the first one revealed the truth about Leon Trotsky, as the Russian government claims, or whether it was an elaborate frame-up, as Trotsky himself maintains. In trying to initiate the steps by which the truth may be known, the American Committee for the Defense of Leon Trotsky is convinced that it is serving the cause of justice for all men, no matter what their race, religion or class may be. Only those who have something to hide need fear the truth. The Editorial Committee. * Pioneer Publishers, New York. |
