TROTSKY'S POWER
AND PERIL.
A PROBLEM FOR RUSSIA'S GOVERNMENT.
DANGER OF ASSASSINATION.
Having been expeiled from the Executive of the Communist Inter- national Trotsky and Zinovici have now been expelled from the Central Committee of the Russian Communist party. It may be taken for granted that Trotsky, nt least, will not be silenced by the so- called disciplinary measures. The Opposition which he teads is strong, and his own prestige is so great that he cannot be harmed with impunity.
He can still be expelled from the Russian Communist party, but even that would not silence him, and the consequences would be sericus, for he would attempt to organise the Opposition outside the party. In other words, he would become the leader of a new party. His work would, of course, be illegal, and his wreck night fol- low, but to arrest the creator of the Red army would be no small matter, or no amount of propa gonda or repression would prevent; a. ware of public sentiment from rallying round him who, after all, is the only great revolutionary lelt in Russia. There is, indeed, rea- son to fear that if Trotsky refuses to be silanced (as he surely will refuse) his life will be in danger. Only a few months ago he turned to a delegation of Communists in Moscow (some of the German Com- munist leaders were amongst them) and asked them if they did not realise that he was "in physical peril" for no one could foresee what fate may await him better than he himself, says the Manches ter Guardian.
Danger Of Assassination. In any case the "Trotsky pro- blëm"-Zinovieff hardly counts-is becoming one which the Russian Government will have to solve, and yet cannot solve with impunity. To have Trotsky assassinated would, of course, be quite in keep- ing with the method employed by the present rulers of Russia. No moral scruples would deter them for a moment, but whether it would be possible to invent an explana tian ingenious enough to satisfy the Russian public is another mat- ter. The struggle between Trotsky and Stalin is of great human and spectacular interest, but its politi cal importance should not be over- rated.

Examining the war problem, Lieut.-Commander Kenworthy finds peculiar danger in the attitude of the Soviet State which he, some what incorrectly, calls "Russia." The Soviet State is an Asiatic State with Asiatic ideas and a hostility
directed not so much against the policy of any particular nation as against the social fabric of Western civilisation. England, however, is the special target of Soviet malignancy:
In the terr years since the end of the World War Russia has prevailed against England both in Persia and Afghanistan; and she has won also indirectly in China.
At this critical moment England finds herself involved in Mesopo- tamia in conditions which the late Sir Henry Wilson deplored as much as. Licut Commander Ken- worthy does:
