Transcript | 22 Brief Editorial Comment LE PEUPLE BRUSSELS, The feeling of socialist and democratic parties for humanity and justice as well as the supreme interests of the international working class movement forbid us in these critical times to view with indifference the frightful juridical massacre which has taken place in Moscow. We say that the responsible leaders of the cause of the Soviet Union have done it a very bad service. The incomprehensible terroristic acts committed by the Moscow leaders will have a devastating effect even upon their well-wishers. International cooperation, which is so necessary today, will be severely affected and may even be rendered impossible. ARBEITERBLADET (NORWEGIAN LABOR PARTY) OSLO, We understand that it must have been an absolute necessity to destroy the accused but the real motive of the accusation and sentence of death must have been quite different from that brought forward at the trial. With an ill-concealed joy and satisfaction the bourgeois, fascist, and reactionary press comments upon the trial. It rubs its hands and smiles happily because the most intimate communist co-workers of Lenin are being exterminated. Such things must come to an end. We cannot postpone matters but must discuss them in a fundamental way. The working class has the right to know what the real background of this trial is. The way to Fascism is prepared if the workers merely accept and believe things. We must see to it that they know. SOZIALDEMOKRAT PRAGUE, Whoever is not compelled as a party-Communist to renounce political criticism will realize, from the knowledge he has of Trotskyism, the essential improbability of a conspiracy to murder under the leadership of Trotsky; he will easily find explanations in the internal development of Russia why Stalin decided, just before the convocation of the new constitutional congress, to eliminate any murmur of opposition. 63 |
