17 January 2009: Added to the Arthur MacManus Archive: Trotsky on Lenin (1925), a less than favourable review of Trotsky’s book Lenin. MacManus writes, “The resent publication demands, in Trotsky’s own interest, that he carry out his intention and publish a real book on Lenin, to redeem the bad effects of this one. Altogether it is a very unsatisfactory book, and one puts it down with a feeling that it is a pity he ever allowed it to be published in its present form.”

The “Arrest” of Trotsky! (1925), this unsigned article in Workers’ Weekly confirms to readers that there is a conflict taking place in the R.C.P., but disputes reports that there is a split taking place or that Trotsky has been censored by the Party.

It also announces that the C.P.G.B. will be publishing Trotsky’s works, along with the replies from the R.C.P. leaders. This collection was, ultimately, published in May 1925 under the title The Errors of Trotskyism.
10 January 2009: Added to the J. R. Campbell Archive: Leninism and the Party, (1925), a defence of the centralised, disciplined political party.
