It is not amazing that the coun-ter-revolutionary attempts to undermine or overthrow the Soviet Government have occurred throughout its existence. In some of them former Social Revolutionists and former Social Democrats participated. Loyalty Accepted

But the trial in Moscow exposed | the most treacherous and insidious | counter-revolutionarv organization. | Most of the defendants were not | only members of the ruling party, | but they had occupied high posi- | tions in the Government and had | the confidence of the leaders. | Piatakov and Sokolnikov were in | the central committee of the party It is true that some of them be- | longed a few years ago to the open opposition of the so-called Trot- | skyists and were expelled from the | party. But very soon afterwards | they declared themselves loyal to | the Government and to the party and were restored to high public positions and welcomed back to] friendly relations with our leaders. | But they were traitors and con-| tinued their counter revolutionary activities, plotting assassinations, the wrecking of trains, the betrayal of their country To some people all this seems fantastic and incredible. But real life | sometimes presents situations more | fantastic and incredible than any imagination can create, particularly | the imagination of people who know | little about the passions and | hatreds of war and revolution.

Witnessed Stalin Kindness

After the leniency shown to these | people, and the readiness of Soviet | leaders, and especially of Stalin, to | assist them and to save them from | falling into the abyss of counter | revolution, it is impossible for an | informed person to believe that they | were indicted without a thorough | investigation and ‘without solid evidence. I personally witnessed the kind- | ness Stalin himself showed on many occasions toward Piatakov, Sokolnikov, Radek and others, Any imputation of personal vengeance and of any low action of the court undeserving of answer and can be inspired only by enemies of the Soviet Union and by conscious or unconscious sympathizers with reaction, Overwhelmed by the case against them, the defendants confessed. They were not exhausted by long years of imprisonment, they were | not forced by any unlawful pressure or deceived by any promise. | They were fully aware of the implications of their action and of their own fate. All of them were ar-| rested in October or November of last year. Piatakov and Sokolnikov had never been arrested before under the Soviet regime.

Cites Trotsky Article

There were testimonies and documents of ccurse. The documents were hot very numerous, because ia a conspiracy of this Kind the actors naturally do not keep such things Iving about. Besides the confessions of the defendants we have a confirmation of Trotsky himself. In his own signed statement, published in the New York American on Jan. 26, of this year, he set forth the following: | “Inside the (Communist) Party | Stalin has put himself above all criticism and above the state. Tt 1s | impossible to displace him except by assassination. Every oppositionist | becomes ipso facto a terrorist. This is the logic of Bonapartism.” Some people may say, “Fantastic! incredible!” TI don’t know who tortured Trotsky and extorted this confession from him. Perhaps it was his own conscience.

Claims Fair Trial

The trial was open. Tt was at tended by hundreds of people, Russians and foreigners. No one of those present has expressed a doubt of the fairness of the trial. None of the defendants protested against | any incorrect conduct in the trial. | Many present gave the opinion that !

| cision of the court was based on

| from the accounts of Mr. | of the New York Times, Mr. Phil-

The judges of the court and most | of those in attendance, after a few | days of the trial, reached the conclusion that the defendants were guilty of the most serious crimes. But the chorus of enemies of the Union and some of their naive companions have sought to cast a shadow of doubt over the create prejudice and hatred of socialism. fresh campaign against the Soviet Union is bound to fail, as
