Trotzky Says Russia
 Zs Through HghHng

.eThe military reports from the fronts deal only with the reorgantza- ton of the newly liberated districts and with the enum arauon Of booty captured by our armies"
 How long do you expect this period to last?" Trotzky was asked. He replied:
 for enlightenment beyond the boun- daries of Soviet Russia; in those of ffcial headquarters where all plots and attacks and campaigns aga1nst Soviet Russia are being manufactur- ed We want lasting peace. We wanted it before the Polish war broke out last spring. We should think that the entente would grant concessions now that we have offered amnesty to the wrange1 crowd and in view of the utter hopelessness of their undertaking.
 Russian peace, however, was not wanted in Paris and London. The re- suit has been that after a bitter struggle and immeasurable losses, Poland got less than we had been south Russia swallowed up some tens Of thousands of lives and few bill lions of francs. The result is that Wrange1's hordes were annihiliated." the numbers, of men in the army, but at the same time increase the fight ing ability of the army. The capf- talistic press has fed It's readers on tegration of the Red army and about Comra1e Budenny's betrayal and so on. There still may be in Europe some numbskulls who believe such tales as these. As matter of fact, during the operations against wran- gel the Red army reached a new nevel in efficiency and strategy as well as in heroism. The Russians sh owed themselves good fighters. Our infantry in particular scored a great success. Among the many trophies captured from the Wrange1 forces we did not find anything that we did not already possess

S1e,5Oo HAUL
 INSIDE JOB?

Toledo. O., Dec. 21.-City detec- lives working on conjunction with 1n- yestigators for the American Railway Express Company. began today to in vestigate the possibility that the s1650O robbery at the< company of fees here last night was planned from the inside.
 George D. Hartman, local manager for the express company, furnished the police with names of guards who weer held up by six men armed with shot guns while transferring a safe containing the money from the office to a truck in the rear of the store for shipment.
 Less than half an hour before the robbery another and larger safe con- taining more than S50,000 was passed through the same door and taken to the railroad station and placed on train.
 This doubtless was the one the rob- rers were after, the police point out. and on this they base their belief that the robberI- was an Hinsfde joh.'
 The police believe last nights rob bery was committed by boys. Dur ing the progress of the holdup the handkerchief mask worn by one Of the bandits slipped down and dis closed the face of a youth not more han 8 years of age.
 AnotheA curious phase the police are trying to solve is the fact that not a shot was fired.

 Moscow, by Wireless, to Berlin Dec. 21-Soviet Russia will have its first peace Christmas this year since the creation of the Soviet form of government. This was the message sent to the outside world today by Leon Trotzky, Peoples -Commissary for War Trotzky has just returned from South Russia where he directed military operations on the Crlmean front. He says that Russia is not making any preparations for future Soviet, he said, are now being turn ed towards the economic upbuf1dfns of the country.
 (Note: According to press dis patches from Constantinople Soviet Russia has embarked on new era in Persia, usng troops that crushed General WrangePs ant1-BolsheviS army. Constantinople reported thai western Persia and were advancing on Tabriz, overcoming all opposi- tion.)
 Seated in his office in the building of the Supreme Revolutionary War Council, Trotzky dictated the follow ing statement:
 What do you regard as the chief problem of the moment?" Trotzly was asked. He responded:
 '"The economic problem. You know that I recently returned from the Donetz Basin where I, together with a commission sent by the council Of the peoples com rnissars, studied con ditions in the coal and iron fields. We learned that the metal industries and the coal mines in the Donetz Basin are now beyond danger either from Armenia or the Caucasus. It is quite possible to double or even treble the production of coal within the next few months. I am convinced that the measures taken by the gov ernment guarantee satisfactory re- suits. We are restarting the big metal factories in the south. Rail way transportation is improving. The attention of the country is being di- rected from questions of politics and war to economic construction. We are very much interested in interna- tional trade. Still more we would like to be left in peace. On this con dition we could pledge ourselves not to unsheath the sword in the future" :" ~''What are your purely military problems ?'' Trotzky was asked.
 "As to the situation on the fronts. I may say that at this moment we have no active fronts. In the south we have eliminated Wrangel. Tn the west and southwest, we have eHn1i- mated Petlura and Balachovitch. In the far east we have routed the Iegions of Semenoff. This Is the first occasion in the past three years that the military situation in Russia has given way to tranquility. There Is no fighting anywhere just at present.
