RUSSIA DISARMING.
READY FOR FURTHER “CUT.” THE QUESTION OF CREDITS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Aug. 31, 5.5 p.m. Helsingfors, August 31. Trotsky, interviewed, declared that the Soviet Government had already expressed its readiness to reduce the red army to a minimum, but the rest of Europe did not desire disarmament. The Russian army and navy had been reduced from five millions to eight hundred thousand, but would not be reduced further unless there were genuine changes in the international situation. Insignificant forces were sufficient to maintain order in Russia. Trotsky, asked if Russia could continue to exist without foreign credits, said he refused to believe that people numbering a hundred and fifty millions could collapse whether credits were received or not. Russia’s misery was great, but Europe and the whole world would suffer greater if Russia was not admitted to the world’s economic life. —A us.-NX. Cable Assn.
