Trotzky to Put Peace
Terms Up to Allies

LONDON. Dec. 2s. - Leon
Trotzky, the Bolshevik For
eign Minister, according to
special despatch from Petrograd,
informed the Workmen's and
Soldiers Council yesterday that
he would ask the Entente
Powers officially whether they in
tended to support the Russian or
the German peace proposals, or
whether they would propose
some alternative terms. If the
Entente Allies refused to join in
the negotiations within ten days
Russia would be forced to con-
clude separate peace. Trotzky
added that Germany having an
nounced her readiness to free
the occupied territories the AL
lies should not refuse to negoti-
ate.
Russia would insist that the
principles of self-government
should be applied to the ter
ritories and colonies seized dur
ing the war. In particular
Alsace-Lorraine and the popu-
lations of the German colonies
should be asked their opinion and
be given their choice of a form Of
government.
