chansky). The Canadians believed that Trotsky was German, since he
spoke German better than Russian. He knew no English. Trotsky's close
comrades Volodarsky and Uritsky stayed on board.
Trotsky was arrested because of a telegram, which had been sent from
London on the 29th of March 1917. It revealed that Bronstein-Trotsky and
his socialist companions were on their way to Russia to start a revolution
against the government. Trotsky had been given 10 000 dollars by the
Germans for this purpose. (Antony Sutton, "Wall Street and the Bolshevik
Revolution", Morley, 1981, p. 28.) Indeed, upon searching Trotsky, the
police found 10 000 dollars. He explained that the money came from the
Germans but had no further comment on the matter. The Canadians
suspected Trotsky of collaboration with the Germans.
Dr D. M. Coulter informed Major General Willoughby Gwatkin at the
Department of Defence in Ottawa that "these men have been hostile to
Russia because of the way the Jews have been treated".
The British authorities were informed that the German General Staff
from 1915 had financed Kerensky, Lenin and some other Russian citizens
on. But it also appears that Trotsky received money from this source as
early as 1916. The Canadian military secret service was convinced that
Leiba Bronstein was acting on German instructions.
Suddenly a counter-order to release Leiba Bronstein and his cronies
came from the British Embassy in Washington. The Embassy had received
a demand from the Department of State in Washington to release
Bronstein-Trotsky as an American citizen with an American passport.
Washington demanded that the Canadians should help Bronstein in any
way possible. So powerful were his friends! According to American
explanations, it was Kerensky who wanted to have Trotsky released.
Trotsky was actually released five days later. The Canadians apologised
for interrupting Trotsky's journey.
Later, everything possible was done to hide the facts from the Canadian
public (especially after 1919), since the authorities knew that they had,
through releasing Trotsky, prolonged the world war for almost one year,
according to MacLean. The Canadian government is therefore responsible
for the unnecessary deaths and injuries of soldiers and civilians. But the
truth always comes to light sooner or later.
All these documents in the Canadian national archives are now
available to researchers.
