PEACE SAYS TROTSKY
{Continued from page one.)
j
i seek a compromise agreement with
I their enemies. ■
“Mr. Lloyd George in one of his
recent sepeches practicaly expressed
this thought by a threat against Rus
sia.
“Therefore, we regard the German
demands given us at Brest-Litovsw
as coming directly from Germany, but
silently approved by the governments
of the entente.”
“What effect'would the entrance of
the entente to the negotiations at the
present moment have?” I asked.
“If the allies should now announce
their willingness to enter the negotia
tions for the purpose of establishing
a general, democratic peace, it would
immediately call out a collossal re
sponse from Austria and Germany,”
Trotsky replied, continuing:
‘ We are conducting cnir negotiations
so as to enable the entente to join at
any moment.”
I then asked: “Will Russia con
clude an annexationist, imperialistic
peace, should the allies fail to poin in
the negotiations, the European work
ers not respond to Russia’s call for
help, and the central empires seek
to force their imperialistic demands?”
The foreign minister hotly replied:
“In that case, we wll act in accord
andee with the interests of revolution
ary Russia.”
Thereupon I asked: “How will the
attitude of the allies regarding the
1; test Russian actions against Ru
mania influence your policy?”
"The attitude of the allied ambassa
dors at Petrograd is notable to in
fluence the situation,” he replied, “as
we are concerned because with Ru
mania shooting up onr troops and
seizing our provinces, we and she are
virtually in a state of war.”
Despite his repeated refusal to see:
newspapermen since his return from ,
Brest-Litovsk, I succeeded in reaching
the foreign minister after passing
numerous armed guards. His office is
located in a remote-corner of the top
floor of the gloomy, huge, yellowish
Smolny Institute.
Trotsky was manifestly overworked
ar.d extremely nervous. He consent
ed to the interview only after being as
sured of the interest of the American i
people in the fate of the Russian
i revolution and the liberty of the Rus
sian people.
Throughout the interview he main
tained his usual tone of revolutionary
pride and his fond hope that the
democracies and peoples of the world
ulitmately will come to the aid of Rus
sia in her desperate struggle to
achieve a democratic peace »and reach
the road of powerful development.

Why Reduced Prices On
Clothes When Woolens
Are on the Rise?
Here’s the story in a “nut shell”
You’ve probably heard that woolen prices are
advancing, so you naturally ask, “If that’s so, how
can Hart Schaffner & Marx all-wool clothes be sold
for less than regular prices?”
Each year at the end of the regular selling sea
sons we find a number of garments still on hand;
they were bought to sell during that season, so we
make it a point of selling them in order to make
room for new goods. And we reduce prices to
clear these suits in a hurry.
Because woolens are advancing so rapidly,
these Hart Schaffner & Marx suits are w'onh more
now than they were a few months ago; they’ll be
worth more next year. But we can’t hold them
over; we haven’t the room.
■ That’s rhe whole story and here are the prices.
S4O Suits $30.00 $35 Suits $26.25
S3O Suits $22.50 S2O Suits $15.00

REDUCTIONS
/
In the face of the fact that prices on
Men’s Clothing for next Fall and Win
ter will be almost double of the pres
ent prices it looks FOOLHARDY and
UNBUSINESSLIKE to make reduc
tions on present prices of men’s clothes
but there are are times when condi
tions, over which we have no control,
arise, therefore for a few days we offer
the following reductions on Adler-
Rochester and Scloss Bros. Clothing.
$35 Suits and Overcoats now $26.25
S3O Suits and Overcoats now $22.50
$25 Suits and Overcoats now $18.75
