From New International, Vol. VI No. 7 (Whole No. 46), August 1940), p. 98.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
The tragic news of the assassination of our beloved comrade and leader, Leon Trotsky, reached us as this issue of The New International goes to press. Comrade Trotsky fell, a victim of a savage attack by a foul hireling of counter-revolutionary Stalin and his murderous GPU.
The next issue of The New International will be devoted to this tragic event and will evaluate the heroic role and life of the outstanding Marxian revolutionist of our generation. With Natalia Ivanovna, Trotsky’s life-long comrade and companion, we mourn our great loss.
