EDITORS NOTE: This is the
second installment of the letters of
Adolph Joffe to Leon Trotsky be-
fore his suicide. Comment on these
letters and an analysis of their con-
tent by A. Yaroslavsky, will appear
in the next installments. This in
stallment contains a curious mix
turc of petty bourgeois sentimental
ism and anarchist illusions of
propaganda of the deed" The
Bolshevist and anti-Marxist
and feminist position of Joffe and
the Trotskyites in general is re-
vealed by his repetition of the
charge of "thermidorianism"
against the All Union Communist
Party. Thermidorianism was that
period of the French revolution
characterized by bourgeois reaction
following the execution of Robes
pierre. Trotsky and his immediate
supporters alone originated this
idiotic charge, which was blasted in
the course of debate before the
Party congress and was not even
concurred in by the Zinoviev faction
which supported Trotsky in his
anti-Party attitude.)

to publish some such memoirs with
the engagement to hand over the en-

censorship can be protracted and how
vague it can be rendered, so that no

that the entire censorship of the Po-
