00:00Asteemed audience you will easily understand if I begin my short address to you in my very
00:07imperfect english by addressing my warm thoughts to the mexican people and to the man who leads
00:15them with such merit and courage president Cardenas when monstrous and absurd accusations
00:21were hurled at mine and my family when my wife myself were under the lock and key of
00:27Norwegian government, without being able to defend ourselves, the Mexican government opened
00:34the doors of this magnificent country and said to us, here you can freely defend your
00:41rights and your honor. Naturally, it is not a sympathy for myself, for my ideas, which
00:47has motivated President Cardenas, but a fidelity to his own ideas. All the more meritorious
00:55then is his act of democratic hospitality the rare these days. Stalin's trial against me
01:03is built upon false confessions, extorted by modern inquisitorial methods in the interest
01:09of the ruling clique. There are no crime in history more terrible in intention and execution
01:17than the Moscow trials of Zinoviev Kamenev and of Pyatakov Radek. These trials developed
01:24not from communism, not from socialism, but from Stalinism, that is from the irresponsible
01:31despotism of the bureaucracy over the people. What is now my principal task? To reveal the
01:38truth, to show and to demonstrate that the true criminals hide under the clock of the accusers.
01:47What will be the next step in this direction? The creation of an American, an European, and subsequently
01:56also an international commission of inquiry, composed of people who incontestably enjoy authority
02:04and public consideration. In confidence, I undertake to present to such a commission all my files,
02:11thousands of personal and open letters, in which the developments of my thought and my action
02:17is reflected day by day without any gaps. I have nothing to hide. Dozens of witnesses who are abroad
02:26possess invaluable facts and documents which will shed light on the Moscow frame-ups. The work of the commission
02:34of inquiry must terminate in a great counter-trial. A counter-trial is necessary to cleanse the atmosphere of the germs of deceit,
02:47colony, falsification and frame-ups whose source is Stalin's police, the GPU, which has fallen to the level of the Nazi Gestapo.
02:57Esteemed audience, you may have many varying attitude toward my ideas and my political activity for forty years, but an impartial inquiry will confirm that there is not a stain on my honor, both personal and political.
03:17Confusedly convinced that the right is on my side, I wholeheartedly salute the citizens of the New World.
