 Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki for eign minister. has called the attention of the peace delegation to this fact. A special dispatch from Brest-Iit.

 Minister Trotzky has sent a tele- gram to his delegates at Bres,-L;t- Ovsk. in this connection. declaring that if the Germans refused their socialists passports. this would create such a bad impression at Petrograd that il was deemed necessary that the German official delegation. which is expected here Thursday, should go to Stockholm instead.

 The statement contains the food administrators reply to charges made before the committee hy Claus SpreckelS. president of the Federal Refining company, that the sugar sit. uSUiOn was miSmSnased.' and sets forth in detail the adminiStration's et. forts to keep sugar prices down while supplying large quantities To the al. .ieS.
 At the outset the statement presents s he world sugar situation as it ex ,sted prior to the European war.
