MEXICO OFFERS
 TROTzKY REFUGE

Mexico City, Dec 7-CUP)-The Mexican government offered asylum today to Leon Trotzky, former Sov- jet leader, after most of Europe had banned him. He has been living re- cently at Hoenefoss, suburb of Oslo, but his permit to live in Nor way expires Dec. IS. For the past four months he has been under close guard following crarges by the Russian government that he had participated in plots to ever throw Dictator Stalin. Trotsky's residence in Mexico, if he accepts the Mexican governments invita- ton, will take him one more step on his political exile from Moscow which has carried him successively in the last 10 years to Turkestan, Turkey, Czechoslovakia, France and Norway.
 Eduardo Hay, Mexican foreign secretary, said that in welcoming the organizer of the red army, the Mex ican government was simply fol- lowing its traditional policy of of- fering refuge to political exiles. He stressed that the Mexican govern Inent does not fear Trotsky's pres ence would provoke internal trouble as he is expected to abide by laws which restrain political refugees from interfering with Mexican po- litical and social affairs.
