MilitarizatiOn Needed
In Russia, Says Trotzky
Army Discipline Called Only
Means to Fully Utilize
Mon Poxror

MOSCOW, March 20 (Dclayed) Mil
itarization is the only means to fully
utilize Russia's man power, said Leon
Trotzky, Bolshevik Minister Of War,
addressing the ninth convention of
the Communist party here tonight.
Trotzky's address was chiefly directed
to defining the relation between the
mobilization of industry to the indus
trial rehabilitation of Russia.
"Mobilization is more necessary now
than it was form erly," he declared, "be-
cause We have to deal with the peasant
population and masses of unskilled
labor, which cannot be utilized to the
fullest extent by any other means than
military discipline. Trades unions are
capable Of organizing great masses OF
qualified workers, but 80 per cent Of
the people cannot be reached by this
means
The general trend Of the speech was
in support Of Capitalization Of power
in the hands of a strong governmeD ut
1t was delivered In foreful manner,
and aroused much enthusiasm.
Speculation, in Trotzky's opinion, is
equivalent to desertion Of Communist
principles, and the only effective way
to combat it IS by military discipline
