Leon Trotzky, exiled Russian Bolshevist leader, may soon leave Prinkipo on Prince’s Island, where he has spent most of his period of exile, to return to Russia, he revealed today to a correspondent of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
Asked regarding current rumors that he had made his peace with Josef Stalin, general, secretary of the Communist Party and Soviet dictator, Trotzky declared:
“My return to Russia is likely in the very near future.”
He did not amplify this statement.
