eminent in an international conference
to provide for the simplification of the
calendar" says the committees report.
These conditions are:
Il. The prevalence Of q demand for
calendar improvement on the part of
large and representative body Of
American opinion.
~. A growing recognition by the gen.
eral public of the grave defects of the
present calendar, lively interest in the
methods by which these can be over
come, and an intelligent understanding
of the principles of calendar reform
50. The actual experience of many
business concerns with the use of pri-
vate simplifled calendars to secure more
accurate accounting in their business
affairs, and their practically unanimous
judgment in favor of the general SIM
plification Of the civil calendar.
In view of the foregoing and owing
to the early approach of the year 1893
when January l falls on Sunday, the
most convenient year until 1899 for
putting q new calendar into effect, the
committee expresses the hope that an
international conference soon will be
assembled, and that this Government
will. in the near future. indicate to the
nations of the world its willingness to
participate in such q conference.

TrOtzky, Exiled for
All Time, Now Is Man
Without a Country

NEW YORK, Feb. l Q.N.S.).-~
The stalwarts among the founders
OF Soviet Russia are passing one
by one. The latest to go is Leon
Trotzky, former commissar for
war, once commander in chief of
the red army, which he formed,
and noted as the greatest organizer
of the red revolution.
Trotzly has been banished for.
ever from Russia. His friend and
co-worker, Nokolai Lenin, the gianE
among the builders of the red
republic of the north, is dead. M.
F. Dzerzhinsky, former chief of
the Soviet secret police, and cons
missar for home affairs, is gones
leaving behind him the grim repu@
tation of having signed more death
warrants than any man of modern
times.
The outstanding figure of the old
guard still remaining and still in
power at Moscow is Georges Tchits
eherin, who has been commissaE
for foreign affairs since the first
communist government was created
in 1917.
OF all the men who played a part
in the formation of the union Of
socialist Soviet republics of Rus.
sia, Lenin, I'rotzky and Tchits
cherin were the most active and
most picturesque. All were political
exiles before the red tide in Russia
opened the doorway to power In
the country that once scorned
them.
Trotzky's power was waning when
Lenin died in 1922.
A triumvirate was formed to rule
in L.enin's place. consisting Of
kameney, Rykov and Stain. OF
this group Stalin- Joseph M. Stalins
secretary general of the Communists
party, emerged as the strong
man." He was a loaded under Lenins
but only an underling. He was
bfding his time and it came after
Lenin's death. Stain. ''the man
with the iron fist" is a Georgian.
He Is noted as man who trusts
no one and brooks no opposition"
He is not a commissar, but is the
power behind the government.
The split between Trotzky and
the chiefs in power at Moscow be.
came apparent at the beginning of
1924. 1t continued to grow and
Trotzky, seeing his prestige slipping,
undertook to form an opposition
party But this was banned under
the dictatorship of the Proletariat.
Trotzky and his adherents worked
secretly. They were banished from
the Communist party and were ex-
lied to various parts of Soviet Rus
sia.
Now Trotzky is banished He is
without a country

With the taste of victory to spur
him on. President.elect Hoover to-
day headed into the Gulf Stream
hoping for another long tussle with
six-foot sailfish.
He bears the marks of the
typffaI deep sea fisherman. His
hands are blistered and cut. His

tropical sun. is peeling and giving
him considerable pain. Neverthe-
less, with the true sportsman's in

comfort of his Belle Isle retreat
Yesterday he tasted for the first
time in a long life of fishing all
over the world the thrill and tri-
umphs of actually pulling sail
fish into his boat.
Failed Two Years Ago
In these same waters two years
ago he had a sailfish on his line
but failed to land it. On his trip
last week he had two bites by
the fighting denizen of the sea. In
one instance the fish was able to
bite the line in two and in the
| other, the line fouled and broke.
The one captured yesterday after
25-minute struggle, weighed As
pounds and measured six feet in
length.
While he was achieving this tri-
umph after so many years fishing
in what the guides had insisted was
the best spot all along the Florida
coast. his secretary, Lawrence
Richey, pulled three ont of the
water, every one OF them larger
than that OF which his chief vas

PLANS
Of FBRIT|SH
BIGGER
By CHARLES A. SMITH

LONDON, Feb. ! G.N. S).-Despite
the Kellogg antiwar treaty, disarma-
ment conferences and demand for
economy, there is little likelihood of
the British naval estimates for
1929.3O showing any reduction from
the total of 1886. 500. 900, voted fov
the financial year just closing.
In we'll informed circles it is de-
clared Parliament will be asked to
authorize the construction Of tn fol-
lowing new vessels:
One 10000 cruiser Of the County
class
Two 8. S.400-tOn cruisers,
One flOtilla leader.
Eight destroyers.
Six submarines.
Year By Year
A new aircraft carrier and several
sloops are also projected, but the in
PRODUCTION of another long term
building program is considered i'm.
probable. From 1880 onwards the
requirements Of the British navy are
expected to be assessed year by year.
according to the building activities
OF the other powers. The fact that
the 1891 naval conference at Wash
ington may result in further limita-
ton of cruiser construction is being
borne in mind.
In naval circles 1t is stated the
Government considers 1t would be
foolish further to cut Britain's $
naval building program. 1t is
pointed out that the five.year re-
placement scheme approved by the
| British Parliament in 1925 has al
ready undergone drastic pruning
three OF the 16 cruisers originally
contemplated. having been dropped.
Modified Program
Moreover. even the modified pro
gram is behind time since none of
the 1928 contracts have yet been
awarded.
Arguments against further re-
ducing the building program are
fold, according to experts here:
Firstly, 1t is stated reduction
would reduce Britain's future estab-
lishment of cruisers to a figure be-
low the minimum required for Sc.
Curitv; and,
Secondly, it might be miscon-
strued in the United States as a
subtle attempt to impede the pas
sage of the American 15-cruiser bill.
