Moscow. Feb. % (Associated Press).
Soviet Russia to-day celebrated the
fourth anniversary of the creation of
the Red army. Leon Trotzky. the
war Minister, in the Red square of the
Kremlin reviewed the Moscow garri-
son, in what was probably the largest
review since the days of TIE Emperor.
For two hours infantry, lancers,
Cossacks, gunners, engineers, motor
corps, tanks and airplanes passed in
the bright sunshine. They appeared
to be in good condition, were well
uniformed and saluted in snappy
fashion as they filed past the stand
A little more precision in alignment,
gayer uniforms. better horses and
older soldiers and they might have
been the regiments Of the old guard
passing before Emperor Nicholas. On
the other hand, they were as different
from the tattered undisciplined Red
army of 1918 as the Concord farmers
of 1916 were from Gen. Pershing's S
picked battalions.

Trotzky Speaks of Genoa.
Trotzlly, speaking before the Moscow

fate Is now balancing over Genoa" II
the coming Genoa conference should not
result satisfactory for Russia, he de-
clared. it might be necessary to tip the
balance with blood. perhaps this coming
spring.
"1t is necessary" he declared. "for
the proletariat to be ready. then, to face
a blow in the spring il such n situation
should be forced upon us. Each week OF
postponement OF the Genoa conference
