BRITAIN
 LOST CHANGE FOR
 WORLD SUPREMACY
Radical Leader Says England Made Mistake in Not Deal-
 ing With Russia

Moscow, Oct. 23-England by the breaking off of negotiations with Leo Kameneff, the former Russian trade commissioner in London, has lost an opportunity to play the leading role i'll world politics, says Karl Radek. radical leader.
 'The political sceptre has fallen from the hands of Lloyd George, from the hands of England,' he asserted in an article in the Isvestia.
 Trade relations with soviet Rus sia would have represented for Eng land victory over French and Amer ican imperialism-over French inn perlallsm because French creditors would have been obliged to allow the gold which the French capitalists con- slider their property to pass into Eng fish coffers, over American imperial ism because the English government would receive supplies and raw ma tollals not under the control of American monopolies.
 "To realize this victory it was ne cessary to establish political peace with soviet Russia.
 France Has Initiative
 "The breaking off of diplomatic negotiations means that the political initiative passes into the hands of France which is openly supporting Wrangel," Radek continued. "Simul- taleously the republican party of the United States and it's presidential candidate Harding, have declared in gavor of the recognition of soviet Russia, demonstrating that American capital intends to put England in the second place by beginning trade relation with Russia and cutting off England's non American source of oil supply"
 Radek concludes the article by say ing that the action of the British government was induced not so much by the defeats of the red army as by the victories of the communist idea in London and Warsaw. "The Eng fish government has concluded that we are too strong to be further strengthened by official recognition and diplomatic pourparlers and it is too weak to tolerate in London poli- tical representatives of soviet Rus sia," he added.
 'The voice of soviet Russia has been stifled in London but it will be heard not only in London but among the millions of workers in the east.
