'If an ultimatum is presented to

tachment of airplanes. If coup
d'etat occurs in Bulgaria, let us build

NJ. Trotzky said England and Italy
had, according to information at HIND,
assisted in the coup d'etat in Bulgaria
and the British had aided in the ma
tionalist overthrow in Persia. De-
claring that Russia's losses in the
World war were Overwhelmingly
greater than Birtain's, Trotzky added:
sit was for this purpose, perhaps,
that Lord Curzon felt strong enough
to deliver us his ten-day ultimatum.
1t was necessary that the blood of the
Russian workers and peasants be
shed. This account some day we shall

Berlin-Berlin is buzzing with talk

10000 to the dollar among unofficial
dealers.
There was scarcely a household in

can or will fall. One newspaper an
swers the question with the simple
statement:
"In Russia the dollar brings 100000
900 Soviet rubles.'
The trade unions already have in
augurated negotiations with Chancel-
lor Cuno and the ministry of labor
with the object of remedying the wage
difficulties due to the marks depre-

that the rank and file of the workers,
faced by still worse conditions, will
