MOSCOW, Oct. 18.—Leon Trotsky has admitted his complete political defeat at the hands of Joseph Stalin, as forecast by the International News Service last week.

Trotsky and the entire leadership of the opposition, including Zinovieff, Kamenev, Pyatikoff and Yevdokimov, have issued a signed declaration repudiating their actions tending to split the party and confessed that they violated party discipline.

The political penitents, while stating that they continue to hold their individual views, announce they will dissolve their factional organization.

The surrender of Trotsky and his followers is a great victory for Stalin and increases his prestige tremendously.
