Trotsky spoke to thousands in the
Experimental thcatcr of Moscow

the speech was repeated there and

The speaker began by explaining
that Soviet Russia stands at the left
Of labor thought and the United
States at the right.
The two extremes must clash and
only y one can survive, he said.
To defeat the United States is che
inevitable conflict in Communism,
according TO TrotskT, and must en-
list the peoples of Europe to its
theories. He sees an early opening
for Communism in France, where
he believes the United States will
compel deflation and thus create Il
great opposition Communist party
there.
Labor in the United States, TrCt-

Therefore,, American labor goes
IN for labor banks and insurance

that il has yet reached such size as
