fight against what he dared to
call a. dictatorship more bloody
than that which Robespierre heaped
upon the French people after the
of 1889.
Aside from the personal battle
for power. which Stain as the
proletarian dictator appears tohava
firmly in his grip, Trotslky's fight
is a fight against methods rathe1
than principles. His closest friends
say he has no intention of form
ing an opposition party. He has
no intention of resigning from the
Communist party. And the party
has been hesitating a long time
about throwing him out.
He does not want to foment
counter revolution. His popularity
with the army. Of which he was
once supreme commander. might
put this weapon within easy grasp.
But he insists upon trying to
effect a change of policy from
within the ranks. though free
speech Is the only actual weapon
at his command.
Reading between the lines Of pub
lished attacks on the opposition'S
activities, it is evident that Trotzky
wants a change in the whole for
eign policy Of the government. He
demands that the Third Interna-
tional be so distinctly separated
from the Soviet government that
the formers propaganda activities
in all countries win not get the
Soviet Union into trouble.
Next he demanded an end to the

munist International in China.
Meanwhile there are evidences
that the majority rulers of the
Soviet government are adopting
some of Trotzky's ideas. A more
friendly attitude towards Great

OF all nations are obtaining more
cordial treatment than ever before.

His regret was altogether that of
