Leon Trotsky. right hand man of
Nicolai Lenin. dead “father" of the
Russian Soviet government, now
looms as a pathetic figure in that
country. ’l‘rotzky has ranked as one
of the Red regime there ever since
the overthrow of Czarism. As mili-
ister of war in Lenin‘s official family
he played an important part in the
building up of the government—cs-

as the death of Lenin calls for a
new “Man of the Hour," Trotzky
lies ill—too ill to take over the reins
should they be tendered him.
Trotzky. son of a Jewish farmer
of the Ukraine, is 44 years If age.
At nine he went to Odessa and stud-

They have multiplied cuzsidczably
more than 700 per cent in the last
three decades. There are now
more than 2,000,000 pups-e in high

years ago. .
“There are from 600,000 to 750.-

In a. state like Iowa, the number

Effect of Exchange
on Tire Export
The prices have been red-iced
generally throughout export mar-
kets during 1323, the Michelin Lem-
pany usually initiating these reduc-
tions. says the Rubber Division 01
the Commerce Departm’ent, in a re-
view of last year’s trade. This is a
result-of the declining exchange
value of the, French franc, and o:
the low rate of the Italian lire.
Michelin tires are manufactured in
and exported from Ifi-ance- . nd italy
Tile declining value of the tram:
which has not been accompanied by
commensurately increased living
costs in France, gives French lire
manufacturers an advantage in la-
bor so great an to render price nom-
petition from American films very
difficult. even though the prices in
francs of imported raw cotton and
crude rubber have increasld pvopor~
tionately to the decline in franc cx~
change. The French competition has
affected the trade of Briltsh manu-
facturers more severely than of Am-
erican firms.
In the annual meeting of the In-

that the firm might find it necessary
