abroad The Russian revolution they say reached this point between 1928 and 1932 the climax was marked by the of Stalin over Trotsky and it has been followed by the ruthless extermination of the Russian revolutionary leaders They argue that the German revolution can end only when the rulers of Germany find as did the bolsheviks before them that the Internal problem cannot be solved or masked by foreign aggression At that point the Germans will have to get rid of their Trotskys in order to be able to find a solution of their Internal problem by a more moderate policy at home and by negotiation with the rest of the world For with the German revolution In its present phase it is as impossible for the rest of the world to negotiate a real settlement as it was with the Russian
