BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, May 27.-It was officially
announced today that Leon Trotsky,
former war minister. who has recent
ly been in political disfavor, has been
appointed a member of the presidium
of the Supreme Economic Council and
chairman of the general concessions
committee.
Trotsky made his first public speech
in Moscow last night since his emer
gence from seclusion in the Caucasus
The former war minister was pres
ent as spectator at a meeting of the
employees state planning commission
when he was requested to reply to a
discourse on the present strength and
stabilization of capitalism, which had
just been delivered by Prof. Varga of
the Russian Communistic Academy
His appearance on the platform was
the signal for a great wave of ap-
plause, the spontaneity and volume
of which left no doubt that the de
posed leader still retained his old
popularity.
/ Launches Attack at L. S.
i Choosing his favorite theme,
Americas Role in the International
Situation" Trotsky said that America
was making Europe it's vassal and
was TeV1Ctudllng Great Britain,
France, Italy, Belgium and other
countries only to the extent of en-
abling those countries to pay America
what they owed her.
America is driving Europe into a
tight corner and giving her no out
let" he said. England has stabilized
her pound. but the pound has become
mere weapon in the hands of the
American stock exchange. At any
moment the dollar can crush the
pound. America is carrying on Il
process of colonization in Europe, but
this does not mean that capitalism
has fortified its position.
Europe has become bloodleSS and
lies in ruins, while America has
further enriched herself"
The speaker said that the United
States was shutting out England
from the world market and forcing
England to become a mere commits
sion agent of Americas own economic
and financial policy.
