Political circles in Moscow are excited over tho publication of numerous resolutions demanding action against M. Trotsky for alleged uuorthodoxy. M. Trotsky is still President of the Revolutionary Council and Comtnis&ar of Military and Naval Affairs, feat apparently his colleagues desire to deprive him of his power. A recent conference between, political officials of the Red Army and Fleet carried a resolution supporting Zinovieff, Kameneff, and Stalin against Trotsky. It is rumoured that the Military Revolutionary Council hi* been convoked to appoint Trotsky's successor.

Tlio Riga correspondent of "The Times' 1 says tho dissension has again broken out in tho Bolshevist camp. Trotsky seems to be responsible Cor tho present 'discord, and he is being unmercifully attacked by Stalin, Zinovioff, and Kameneff, all of whom havo accused him of indulging; in non-Cons-munist views and activities. The Moscow committee of the Russian Communist Party specially met to consider Trotsky's alleged backsliding, but precis© details of the accusations have not been disclosed. Tber are, however, indicated by the newspaper <7 Pravda," which declares that , Trotskv's real aims are to remove th« present Soviet leaders and substitute others willing to follow different I policies.
