TROTZKY AND FOLLOWERS CAPITULATE Admit Their Attitude Threatens Unity of Russian Communist Party ACTIVITIES TO CEASE Members of Opposition Yield Fully to Demand of Executive Committee
ACTIVITIES TO CEASE
Trotzky and his followers, forming the opposition to the central executive committee of the communist party, have unconditionally capitulated in the face of a threat of political punishment, in a signed statement issued from party headquarters in the Kremlin. They admitted their attitude threatened the unity of the party, undertook to obey the rules and decisions of the party congress, asked that comrades expelled for supporting them be rehabilitated, and appealed to groups backing them to cease their activities against the central executive committee.
Moscow, Oct. 18—(AP)—Leon Trotzky and his followers, comprising the opposition to the central executive committee of the communist party, have unconditionally capitulated in the face of a threat of political punishment.
The danger of open warfare in the party has been averted, but it is feared the peace between the opposition and the majority will be only temporary; that the expression of regret by Trotzky and his followers for their denunciation of the executive committee in reality amounts only to an armistice.
Early this month Trotzky and his followers, including Kameneff, Piatakoff, Zinovieff, Sokolnikoff and Evdokimov, began the open air warfare against the executive committee. In the fiery speeches the committee was denounced before meetings of workers for steam roller tactics, "lack of democracy within the party and inefficiency and mismanagement."
Several days later the political bureau of the party, in a resolution, branded the action of the opposition as "an infringement of party discipline" and a "menace to the very unity of the communist party."
Agree to Obey Rules Yesterday from the headquarters of the communist party in the Kremlin, Trotzky and his followers, in a signed statement, announced that they desired to capitulate. They admitted their attitude threatened the unity of the party and gave an undertaking to obey the rules and decisions of the congress of the party.
It was stated that the members of the opposition yielded fully to the demand of the central executive committee that they unequivocally accept all party decisions and acknowledge that their activities were erroneous and menacing to the soviet union.
In capitulating, Trotzky and his adherents made a plea for the rehabilitation in the party councils for numerous comrades expelled by the party for supporingt the opposition. The signatories of the statement appeal to groups throughout the country which have been supporting them to immediately cease their activities against the central executive committee.
