YIELDS IN ROW WITH STALIN

Context - explained by ACL:

A dispatch from Moscow reports that Trotsky has admitted complete political defeat, and that he and the entire leadership of the opposition, including Zinovieff, Kamenev and Yevdokimov, have issued a signed declaration repudiating their actions tending to split the party and confessing that they violated party discipline. The signers state that they continue to hold their individual views but will dissolve their fractional organization, an outcome the dispatch describes as a great victory for their opponent that increases his prestige tremendously.
