tur any disarmament conference

cross-fire of questions from fifteen
foreign correspondents regarding so
vlot Russia's Internal problems.
'M. Trotzky declared that the soviet
government, prefers tho humane
method of exiling Its opponents in
Russa rather than crushing them
out, but added that the political
freedom of party organization will
be restored in Russia only when tho
power of capital is broken.
Rogardlng tho American relief

"I am tranquil regarding the re
