[lbo-talk] History question...

[c b]

Anyone up for shedding more light on this event? October 12th, would
have been about a month and a half after the invasion/partition of
Poland and the declaration of war by Britain on Germany.

"Trotsky wrote on 12 October 1939 to J.B.Mathews, Chief Investigator
of the US Congress's Committee on Un-American Activities (which
investigated foreign subversion of the American Constitution),
offering to appear as a witness against the leadership of the
Communist Party of the USA. His only condition was that he should be
sent the questions in advance." Trotsky, A Biography by Robert
Service, 2009

CB: Puts in a different light the American Trotskyists'  claim that
the CPUSA urged SWPers'  prosecution under the Smith Act in 1941.
