MINISTER OF WAR
lnlA 11rTkTT

New York. Mar. 16.--Eeon Trot-
sky's appointment as minister for
war by the Boisheviki government is
the most significant Indication of
Russia's future policy that has come
from Petrograd since the peace ne
gotiations with Germany reported
their climax.
The Germans cannot trust Trotzky
to keep any peace terms that may
be indorsed at Moscow by the pam
soviet congress. Trotzky Is the
strongest personality In the Bolshe-
Wiki government. His retirement
from the head OF the foreign Office
and his acceptance OF the commits
saryship OF war comes at a time
when the Russian foreign ofiice's In
fluence must hereafter be overshad-
owed by the more active plans Of the
war department.
From the beginning Of the Bolshe-
wiki administration Trotxky has as
sumed the responsibility for carry
ing out the governments dominant
policies. II he thought the decision
to be taken by the pan-soviet con-
gress would In reality solve her in
ternal problems. Il is unbelievable
