Trotsky Tells British Paper He Will Not Write For It in Sharply Worded Statement
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 23 – Leon Trotsky today rejected a request from the London Daily Herald, widely circulated official organ of the British Labor Party, for an article which, in effect, would have meant bolstering the British war aims in conformity with the policy of the Daily Herald.
The exchange of cables between the editor of the Daily Herald and Leon Trotsky was as follows:
