TROTzKY UNLOOSENS
A DEMAGOGIC SPEECH
Harangue Was Arranged to
Conform With Level of
His Auditors.

LONDON, Nov. 24.-This mornings s
Daily Mail prints dispatch from Pc
trograd which reports the salient fea-
lures of violent, demagogic speech"
by Leon Trotzky. the Bolsheviki for
eign minister to the workmen's coun-
Gil. The speech. says the correspond
ent, was made possible only by the
level OF intelligence of the foreign
minister's audience.
Trotzky gave indications of how the
allies and the enemies had received
the peace proposal note. He dealt
blows all around, his only bright hope
being Italy, whom he considered out
of action, owing to her loss of artil-
lery.
England, who was the ringleader or
the whole movement, merely contin-
ued the war for what she could get,
according to the speaker. Frances
reply was In the form Of Clemenceau's
middle class imperishable cabinet, but
the French people We're looking for
only reasonable excuse TO emerge
from the war with some claim of vic
tory in order to justify their entrance
into the war. The United States only
entered the war because she was
forced into II by her capitalists,
Trotzky declared, and as she did not
desire territory. she probably would
regard with favor a Russian govern
ment composed Of workmen and SOL
diers.
Germany rejoiced in the further
weak ening of the Russian army's
strength but Philip Scheidemann.
president Of the Social Democrat
party had resolved to declare open
opposition to the German government
and to force 1t to declare peace, he
said.
After telling his audience that all
secret treaties would be published,
Trotzky said that anyhow, they were
not binding on Russia and he would
fling them into the rubbish pile.
The Daily Nails correspondent re-
fers to the possibility Of an attempt to
establish rival government in Rus
sia- but he Is convinced that 1t Is
almost impossible for any government
to hold the country together.
