their support in removing Stalin from the leadership, and that Bukharin also told him he was planning to use individual terror (assassination) against Stalin. Humbert-Droz writes that he replied to Bukharin by criticizing any rapprochement with Zinoviev and Kamenev, and argued that resorting to individual terror would destroy the Bolshevik leadership. He managed to re-enter the Executive Committee of the Communist International after self-criticizing and capitulating. In 1943, he was definitely expelled from the Swiss Communist Party. Aware of his worth and experience, the Swiss Socialist Party invited him to return to his original party, where he was party secretary until 1959, and then secretary of the Neuchâtel cantonal section of the party until 1965. He retired to La Chaux-de-Fonds, yet remained politically active. He militated against the atomic armament of Switzerland, and contributed to various journals. Toward the end of his life, he undertook the writing of his memoirs, published between 1969 and 1973.
