Abstract
On April 2, 1937, a contingent from the defense committee left New York aboard a train bound for Mexico City. It included Dewey, La Follette, and Stolberg, who were members of the subcommission being sent to the Trotsky hearings, along with the committee secretary George Novack, the commission secretary Pearl Kluger, and the committee member James Farrell. The other two subcommissioners were to join them in Mexico. Carleton Beals was en route from California and Otto Ruehle lived in Mexico City. Dewey used the long journey to read transcripts of the two Moscow show trials and some of Trotsky’s writings.
