TROTZKY'S VISION.

THE DEFEAT OF EUROPE

Moscow, Feb. 15.-With eyes flashing fire and his mighty voice thundering broadside after broad- side Leon Trotzky arraigned America to-night as the world's, mightiest colossus, concentrating. step by step, on the fate and resources of mankind.

In his characteristic, vivid style he painted Europe as torn, bleeding, chained and helpless, crawling at the feat of the giant, America, who, dominating the | earth from dizzy economic heights, rules nations, holds the earth's heart strings, and thinks in terms of continents.

"The United States, interferos with the destinies of three-fourths The of the globe," he said. American labour federation is outside of Amsterdam like Amer- ica is outside of the league of nations, but this does not prevent America from pulling strings of the league, and the labour fedure- tion pulls strings at Amsterdam." Touching Russo-American rela- tions and Amorica's secret league of nations policy, M. Trotzky declared America is Soviet Rus-1 sia's greatest enemy, saying its secret role in the league of nations accords with Britain's hostile in- tentions, for which the coming disarmament conference may furnish a convenient screen.

We do not want war," said M. Trotzky, "but if war becomes in- evitable the likeliest result of such a conflict will be that we shall boss Europe."

Thô Japan Advertiser ännounces that the Prime Minister, Mr. Wakatsuki, expected to leavel Tokyo for the Kwangsi on April 8 to worship at the Imperial tombs and at the Grand Shrine of Iso, informing the spirits of the Imperial ancestors of his recent appointment as the Prime Minis- tor This beautiful old custom would have been fulfilled earlier, but for an extra session of the Diet intervening.
