Radek Says Bargain Made With Germany Already
Moscow, January 27.
The prediction that a · Russo-Japanese war is certain this year was made by Karl Radek, Russian writer and politician, when giving evidence at the mass trial of alleged adherents to the cause of Trotsky and counter-revolution, at (which he stands accused.
He said he had received a message from the former Bolshevik president, Leon. Trotsky, now a political fugitive abroad, delivered through Piatahoff, asserting that a deal had been carried through with Germany in connection with the plan for hoa- tilities. Trotsky predicted a war some time in 1937.
Radek said that Pistakoff, who was one of Trotsky's agents, had told him that: Germany needed a year for diplomatic preparation for war.
Her military prepara- tions were already complete.. But Germany wanted to be certain of Great Britain's neutrality in any clash that might occur.
New Council Member HON. MR. D'ALMADA CONGRATULATED
The Hon. Mr. Leo D'Almada, Jr., was congratulated by the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, and Mr. H. G. Sheldon K.C., at the Supreme Court this morning, on his appointment to the Legislative Council.
