MOSCOW ON RAISONS
DRASTIC CARD SYSTEM
THE SHADOW OF TROTSKY,
LONDON, February 20. The Berlin correspondent of the ‘ Daily Chronicle ’ says that Moscow is being rationed on a drastic card, system, including butter, tea, eggs, and macaroni. Members of co-operative societies are being allowed double, and are also allowed to buy lice and potatoes, which are denied to the rest of tiro population. Meanwhile clothes are unobtainable in town . shops, as manufactures are being sent to the country in the hope of inducing the peasants to exchange corn for them.
The shadow of Trotsky still hangs over Moscow, many believing that the new troubles are traceable to sabotage by supporters of exiled Trotsky.
