LENINE PLANS
TO GET OUT
But Is Said to Insist That
Trotzky Be Left in
Command
DRASTIC CHANGE OF
POLICY INTENDED
Admiral Kolchak's Influence
to Be Weakened by Show
ing Up His Incapacity

Stockholm, Aug. by the Associated
Press -The Svenska Dagblat is informed
by persons closely connected with the
Russian soviet government that Nikolai
Lenine, the premier, intends to begin a
drastic change of policy and then re-
tire. One condition of his retirement
will be that Leon Trotzky, the bolshe-
wiki war minister, be left in command.
At recently held meetings of the So
Wet commissaries, the newspapers in
formants say the question of giving
power into the hands of other socialistic
parties was earnestly discussed, but
Lenine declared that the best way to
check reaction, as represented by Ad-
miral Kolchak, head of the all-Russian
government at 0msk, would be to drop
power for time in order to prove that
no other party was able TO re-organize
Russia. This, Lenine contended, would
strengthen the holsheviki and enable
them to resume power. Lenine's views
were shared by George Tchiteherin, the
commissary for foreign affairs, NJ
Stoutchka, eommissary Of justice, and
Professor Podrovski, commissary OF the
interior,

them. 1t is the purpose Of the committee
to sell these houses at actual cost, which
viii be from $500 to $4,000, and there
will be a premium offered to those who
buy early. Work is to be started at once
and the buildings will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the first of November. The
board of directors are: H, R, Miller, jr.
George W. Smith, Everett J. Eaton. This
committee, who have had the matter in
charge, deserve great credit for the work
which they have accomplished.

SEE NO RELIEF
FOR HIGH PRICES
Federal r eserve Boards
Monthly Review Notes In
creases in Some Lines
INDUSTRIAL SITUATION
THOUGHT IMPROVED
Agricultural Outlook on the
Whole Was Reported
Favorable

Washington, D. G., Aug, mo relief
from present high prices is forecast IN
the federal reserve boards monthly re-
view Of business conditions, issued to-
day, which notes that July saw increases
in many lines.
In general the review said, "there Is
a disposition to accept present price lev
els and to expect continuation OF the
prevailing level for some time to come, =
In many districts high prices have
not served to check demand, but the pos
sibility of obtaining goods was found to
be of GREATER moment to the buyer than
the price fixed. On the other hand, the
board said, the very great" price in
creases which have taken place in certain
lines had made buyers more cautious,
care being taken not to increase unduly
stocks acquired at the present price lev
ell for fear decline might occur.
Continued high prices, along with con-
slant growth in trade, both wholesale
and retail, and increased activity in
some Of the basic industries, sustained
confidence in the industrial situation and
led to expansion in many lines. Almost
the only complaints heard concern short
age of raw materials and, in a few dis
tricts, labor troubles, although a major
ity of the districts report normal la
Dor conditions.
Instead of a fear of unemployment,
which had been expected during the early
part of the year, the board said, "the
reports received manifest the fear of an
impending shortage of labor" The exc.
dus Of alien workers was blamed in
part,
The agricultural outlook on the whole
was reported favorable with indications
that the cotton crop would be much
shorter than previously indicated. Man
ufacturing continues active, marked ad.
vances in prices having occurred in cot.
ton goods, with many mills over sold.
Exports were said to be large. Raw
wool still is in heavy demand and re.
vival in building has continued.
Turning to the financial situation, the
board declared that while speculation
continued at an unpreeedentedly high
level, an investment demand for stocks
has revealed itself, leading to the with.
drawal Of an unusual amount of shares
from the market. The banking situation
was reported sound, credit and collec.
tion conditions good and failure small
and few.
Conditions by districts were described
as follows:
Boston-There is apparently no abate.
ment in the general industrial activity
in the New England district The raw
material market and the labor unrest
have made the problem which our man.
ufacturers face increasingly difficult.
New York-Commercia activity which
commonly reaches its climax in May has
been continued to the early summer and
a generally favorable outlook is noted.
Philadelphia-The general business
situation continues to show an increas-
ing demand for merchandise at advanc.
ing prices and fundamental industries
operating on larger scale, but the alb
normally high prices prevailing are
viewed with disquietude

= wAsHINoToN, June 23.-The most re-
cent attack Of the Secretary OF the Navy
on the Navy League Of the United
States. made little over two weeks
ago before the House Naval Affairs Com
mittee, was answered by the league to-
Gay in an open letter addressed to Rep
resentative Butler kPa.), chairman OF
the COMMITTEES before which Mr.. Dan
iels appeared. The leagues letter was
signed by Henry Breckenridge IN his
capacity 81 president Of the league.
Let me say at the start" Mr.. Breck-
enridge wrote, that there is some dim
Guilty In dealing with his statement be-
fore your committee because he said one
thing In person before the committee
and then called for tho transcript of his
remartdngs, changing the same as to
modify the implication Of some Of the
more gross vulgarties of his verbal
statement and padding same with fur
ther matter which he thought might
strengthen It and give It an added power
Of conviction"
This, said the letter, ts consistent with
Mr.. Daniels's attitude toward the Navy
League, but the fact remains It con-
unued, that In his statement he com

throughout the country whose only Of
fence has been to love their country. "a

and perchance TO be unwilling to follow
bhndly the shifting leadership OF the
Honorable Josephus Daniels"
The letter charged that Mr.. Daniels
tried to make It appear that the league
was opposed to ofticers OF the navy and
called into question their motives. Mr..
Daniels knows in his heart" that there
is no sincerer friend of the Officers and
men of the navy than is the league.
