Diplomats Astounded By Leader's Allegations

Moscow, Jan. 24.

An astounded audience, including Viscount Chilston, British Ambassador, and the French and American Ambassadors, heard. M. Karl Radek, one of the accused in the mass trial of former Soviet leaders, give evidence in regard to his negotiations with high foreign diplomats with regard to the "partitioning" of Soviet Russia. This was the second day of the trial, and Radek was on the witness stand for four hours.

Despite the warning of the Judge, Radek persisted in men- tioning the names of foreign diplomats, and only desisted therefrom when the Judge threatened to adjourn the Court.

Radek said he was convinced in 1935, owing to the advent of Herr Hitler, that war and a Soviet defeat were inevitable. He therefore embarked on a "Machiavellian" policy, promising to cede the Ukraine to Germany and the Amur region to Japan, and co-operating with the German Military Staff in war, after which he hoped the Soviet would be weakened so that another revolution would be possible,

Radek said he received three letters from M. Trotsky. The first, written in April, 1984, declared that the advent of Fascism,

the power of Germany and the aggravation of the situation in the UGAKI COMMANDED Far East brought closer a war which would result in the defeat of the Soviet and create conditions for their bloc coming into power. Therefore it was in the interest of the bloc to accelerate a clash.

In a letter written in December, 1035. Trotsky outlined a programme for the restoration of capitalism and territorial and economic concessions to Fascism after it had won the war.

Sokolnikoff's Evidence

London, Jan. 24.

At the Moscow trial, M. Gregory *Sokolnikoff, former Ambassador to Britain, one of the accused, gave evidence that he had been guilty of plotting to, betray the Soviet to Ger- many and Japan.

He stated that owing to his "de- fentist belief that German Fascism threatened to strangle the Soviet, he thought It preferable to retreat from Socialism and make a deal with the Fascists, rather than to be destroyed entirely.

Asked by the Prosecutor whether" he thought Germany would tolerate their Government once she was. entrenched In the Ukraine, Sokolnik- off replied that they ralled on other capitalist Powers to prevent Germany going too far.
