Trotzky took no pains to conceal
his pro-German proclivities nor his
anti-Ally hostility.
The British authorities must have
been fully advised Of his propa-
ganda, because in March, 1917, when
Trotzky and his wife were on their
way to Petrograd aboard a Scandi-
navian liner, they were sent ashore
at Halifax and interned in a Cana
dian detention camp with the Ger
man prisoners.
The British must have known
about the ten thousand dollars
Trotzky raised from comrades" in
the United States and what it was
for. Notwithstanding he had toast-
ed Of raising the money, he protested
his innocence when Professor Paul
Miliukoff in an article accused hin
of being a German hirelng.
Nevertheless, the "Volkszeitung'
in one of its issues, July II, 1917
cynically commented on the article
by DR.. Miliukoff, ridiculing it on the
ground that Miliukoff had been pait
much more when lecturing here thar
Trotzky had ever received-sayins
that $4,000 was nothing, by com
parison.
And yet, in April, 1917, for some
reason, the British government re
leased Trotzky and his wife from
the detention camp and brought then
back to Halifax. where they took The

After the Gar
Was Deposed

The following is a brief sketch Of
some of the salient features Of the last
twelve months of Finnish history:
After the Russian revolution in
March, 1917, the Russian Provisional
Government there set up under the
premiership of Prince Lvoff, and later
Mr.. Kerensky, took over all the func.
mons previously exercised by the de-
posed Car. Also the powers which in
conformity with the Finnish constitu-
ton belonged to the Gear in his ca
pacity of Grand Duke of Finland were
universally held to have passed over to
this Russian Provisional Government
1t was by virtue Of these powers that
this government. as one of their first
acts, restored Finland to the auton-
omous position to which she was con-

By DR.. ]. N. Reuter-
Delegate of the Government of Finland


lSTORY In these days is moving
rapidly. What seemed of para
mount Importance yesterday is
eclipsed by the events of to-day
events which may turn the balance in
favor Of either Of the two ideas which
are said to be at the basis of this
world struggle-the idea of a CONSOLE
dation of imperalistic power and the
idea of DIFFERENTIATION of small ma
tlonal units. In some parts this latter
ideal appears to have carried the day.
This was the case when Finland won
her independence. When the govern
ment of France, true to the generous
and great-hearted traditions of the
French people, earlier than any other
European power fully and unreserved!y
recognized Finland as a free and SOW
ereign state, "Le Temps" the facilc
princcps of French journals, said that
Finland's independence was the first
gratifying result of the world war.
In Finland events that make history
have travelled faster than in most
parts of the European continent.
Within q twelvemonth this ancient
country regained the autonomy of
which she was deprived by Russian
autocracy, was subjected to the in
tolerable rule of the Russian soldiery
and issued her declaration of indie
pendence; and now, at the time of writ
ing, we are witnessing the last phases
OF sanguinary civil war, caused by
one OF the most unjustiiable rebellions
in the worlds history.
