RADEK DEFIANT IN OPPOSITION T0 USSR RULE

Death Decree for ‘Old Bolshevik’ Expected From Court.

(Another Story, Page 20)

By United Press MOSCOW, Jan, 20 Karl Radek, 52, “Old Bolshevik,” most brilliant publicist in the young republic's history, defiantly maintained his opposition to the government today in his last statement at the treason trial which astonished and puzzled people of many countries. Nervous, gesticulating, his face fringed by its wisp of beard, Radek proclaimed loudly: “No argument can be found to defend treason. I cannot find extenuating circumstances. I cannot say that Leon Trotsky misled me. I was an adult person. I followed Trotsky because I saw no other group which I could join in politi cal views. I joined Trotskism vol« untarily and I will bear full respon« sibility.” Execution Is Expected

This responsibility is to the dreads ed Military Collegium of the Sue preme Court which was expected within 24 hours to order him and five other “Old Bolsheviks” among the 17 defendants executed by a firing squad. Radek followed, on the stand, George Leonidovitch Piatakov, 47, former assistant commissar of heavy industry. Like Radek, he did not ask for mercy but he did denounce Trotsky, exiled opposition leader and arch-enemy of the government. “I am only sorry that Trotsky is not with us,” said Piatakov. But Radek was all defiance as he faced his doom, He said that he was a Trotsky man because he believed it impos- | sible to have Socialism in Russia | alone. |
