Brockway has, moreover, consistently refused to have anything to do with the British Trotsky Defence Committee, which exists for the purpose of furthering an investigation of this kind.
Brockway hastened to write to Norman Thomas, leader of the Socialist Party of the United States and a member of the American Trotsky Defence Committee, urging that a Commission of Enquiry be established, not to investigate the Moscow trials, but to examine “the role of Trotskyism in the working class movement”.
If Brockway and the Executive Committees which he represents were sincere in their desire to “collaborate” with the Commission and to get at the facts behind the trials, this is clearly the course they would have pursued.

Lord Brockway: But as I see so many men and women who are regarded as ordinary men and women, and their heroism in life, their sacrifice in life, their service in life, makes me small compared with them, even if they are not known, and even if they are not thought to be great.
Lord Brockway: And you, you may easily have a person who is very God conscious, beautiful in their own lives, beautiful to all the group around them, who have no understanding of the problems of the world at all.

 'Suicide During a Fit of Insanity' or the Defence of Socialism?:The secession of the Independent Labour Party from the ...
Certainly, Fenner Brockway, a leading advocate of disaffiliation, later considered his action to be the most foolish one of his political career.
Maxton, Brockway, Jowett, the leaders of what was dubbed the 'Suicide Squad', won the day despite the entreaties of Leach and the Bradford Pioneer, - the ILP disaffiliated from the Labour Party at its Special Conference held in Jowett Hall on Saturday and Sunday, 30 and 31 July 1932.
Brockway, and other members of the ILP, if not Jowett, eventually came to recognise their mistake and, as a postscript, it is interesting to note that the ILP eventually ceased to exist as a political party in 1975 and rejoined the Labour Party as a rather small propaganda and discussion group.

 The case of Fenner Brockway
It is greatly to be feared that one member of the national council of the ILP at least - Fenner Brockway - has not been loyally carrying out this resolution.
The reason given is that "a disastrous mistake has been made in initiating the enquiry through a committee which describes itself as a 'Committee for the Defence of Trotsky' " since this will present an "argument to those who condemn Trotsky which it will be impossible effectively to meet".
In the first place, any commission of enquiry into the Moscow trials, as Brockway himself has pointed out, "will merely arouse prejudice in Russia and Communist circles" - and in all other circles which are willing to condemn Trotsky unheard.
