The crudest part of the Judicial THE Undersigned have received frame-up, Trotsky told the com- mission, was the charge of sabot- age-against-the "Trotskyites."____
"The "Trotskyitės,' we are told at every step," he went on," "coristi- tute an insignificant handful, iso- lated from and hated by the masses But in the court we hear of such methods of sabotage as would be possible only if the entire administrative apparatus were in the hands of saboteurs." INTERNATIONAL REASONS Trotsky refuted with vigour the charge that he had conspired with Germany and Japan.
"How could one hope." he asked, "to achieve power, at the price of acts of high treason in the ser- vice of a foreign general staff? Ja it not clear in advance that Hitler and the Mikado, after using such an agent to the unit, would ding him aside like a squeezed lemon? "The commission of terrorist acts-and especially sabotage would, in its turn, require hun- dreds and even thousands of agents. Discovery, therefore, would be absolutely maroldable-with simultaneous exposure of the al- llance of the "Trotskyites' with the Fascist and Japanese sples."
Trotsky believes that Stalin's purge" was carried out for inter-
national reasons,
"If the Soviet bureaucracy," he declared. "does not want revolu tions and fears them, it cannot at the same time openly renounce the revolutionary traditions without definitely undermining its prestige within the U.S.E.R.
