LEON TROTSKY MAY
RETURN TO RUSSIAN
COMMUNIST PARTY
Special to The Producers News.

Special to The Producers News.
New York, October 21.-That
Leon Trotsky, whose role in the
Russian Revolution was next to
Lenin's in Importance may soon
make his peace with Stain is sug-
gested in a denial by the exiled
Communist chief. of the report that
statement signed by Trotsky and
Rakovsky, and presented to Stain
by the latter last month had been
an intimation of submission, but
that on the contrary the opposi-
tion was strong and that its pro-
gram had met with success.
Trotsky's admission that he and
Rakovsky signed a statement for
the consideration of the Central
Committee of the Communist Par
ty of the Soviet Union, has great
significance for those who are ac-
'.quainted with the methods of the
Russian Communist leaders. The
fury of the attack against Trotsky
has died down and Nikolai Buhkar-
in, leader of the Right Wing is now
the chief target of Stalin's artil-
lery. .Rakovsy is one of the few
outstanding members of the form
er Trotsky opposition who have not
accepted the party conditions OF
readmission. Those who have fol.
| lowed Trotsky's career believe he
is too good a revolutionist to re
| main outside the party ranks if h
can re-enter without sacrificing
any of the principles he consider
vital to the success of the Octobe
Revolution.

meeting of the Plentywood council

Monday evening, stated that there
was a growing wave of progress

He called attention to the fall

who are at the mercy of the Wall
Street gamblers and spectators.
The democratic party, if in power
