INTERVIEW WITH TROTSKY.

London, Feb 25.

A notable commentary on the Allies declared policy towards Russia is seen in an interview with Trotzky in the "New York World" wherein 1 is stated the Bolshevik peace terms and craving for peace remain unchanged. He said the country which first resumed amicable relations would deriva the commercial advantage. Trotzky claimed that by Spring the Soviet will have crushed all armed antagonists. Adequate guarantees would be given to foreign capital invested in Russia after the peace which would lead to immediate demobilisation of the "Red" army. Trotzky alleged that all the Baltic states are now conferring with Soviet commis- saries with a view to peace. It is noteworthy in connection- with this that a wireless message from Moscow yesterday stated the lets had decided, in agreement with Poland, Finland and Lithuania to bezin peace negotiations and a conference was to be held in April. In some measure this is confirmation of above. This comes from Warsaw. A "Telegraph" wire from Nowrassisk of Feb. 15 says Denikin has formed a democratic Cabinet with, as Premier, M. Melnikoff, ex- President of the Den Assembly.

CABINET AND HIGH PRICES.

He said freedom of ewmpetition in Britain had gone forever becna competition alone nododger could be regarded as real protemon Lethe entstaner. Meanwhile the committe en trusts was asking Messrs Coats to explain the latest increase to a lod. cotton rrel and the drapers Chamber of Trade had passed a rivolution in favour of in- vestigation of the most of all Ables, Speakers urged that *aking excessive prodits involved all concerned in great peril..

PENITENT TURKS.

Constantinople, Feb. 23. The High Commissioners antoineetent as regards the Tarks remainit at Constantinople has much impressed the Porte inasmuch as the Ministry of the Interior telegraphically circularised the provincial authorities announcing the decision and urging the adopting of measures to prevent attacks against non Moslem's which were prejudicial to Turkey's in- terests. The derision to withdraw British troops from Batum 44 cancelled.

INCREASED. EXPORTS TO US.A..

London, Feb. 25.

The Times" draws attention to the improvement in exports to the United States. Outward ships are now carry- ing large cargues while cargo space from America much exceeds the demand. This recent change is unquestionably helping to right the "exchange problem.

It is hoped to settle the Turkish Treaty in principle before the break up bat if necessary settlement of details will be delegated to the Ambassadors Council at Paris.

presenting the present Bilis to the Diet. He sought an explan- ation on several points. First of all, he desired to know whether these Bills were introduced from the viewpoint of the criminal administration, or from that of social policy. Secondly, was there any necessity of protection even those mentally deranged children who

entirely incorrigible? The third point) raised by the interpellator was that the largest proportion off depraved children were produced by the slum quarters. Was it not a case of putting the cart before the horse that the Govern- ment, while neglecting the relief of the poor, proposed to undertake the protection of the depraved children which these poor quar ters produced? Lastly, Mr. Yo- koyama pointed out that Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Yokohama stood in dire need of the application of the Juvenil Law under contem- plation. He asked if the Gov- ernment intended to apply the law to the whole of the country.

Mr. Suzuki (Vice-Minister of Justice), in reply, stated that the Bills had been drawn up from the viewpoints of criminal admin-l istration and of social policy. Even those who are mentally defective deserved every care at: the hands of the authorities with a view to their moral regener- ation. As regards relief work inj the slum quarter, it had always ** claimed the earnest attention of the authorities, who were going| D to put forth redoubled efforts that direction. It was true that big cities accounted for the largest proportion of bad youths, but as there were many such per- sons under the jurisdiction of every district Court, the Govern- ment proposed to apply the in- tended law to the whole of the country, beginning with the es- tablishment of Reformatories at the cities where Appeal Courts were situated.

On the motion of Mr. Iwasaki the Bills were referred to a

| special committee of eighteen.
