TROTSKY'S NEW MOVE
BIG POLITICAL INDEX
w York, March 15.
Leon Trotsky's appointment ns Com
ni'ssary for War by the Bolshevik Gov
eminent Is the most significant indica
tion of Hussl.i's future policy that has
come from 1'ctrograd since the pi ace
1 eotiatlons with Germany reached
th r climax.
The Germans cannot trirt Trotsky

"Msfcaryshlp of War come nt a tlmo
"hen the Russian Foreign Office's In
fueriee must hereafter be overshadowed
v the mare active plans of the War Dc-nar'm-nt
From the beir'nnliiir nf tlm n.iiaimi.Mr
administration Trotsky has assumed the
responslbllltv for carrying out th Gov
ernmeni's dominant policies. If he
thought the decision to be taken by the
"an-Sovlet congress would in realm-
leave Itussia free to solve her Int. mil
problems It Is unbelievable ho would no
far remove hlnise-'f from dosiestlo affairs
as to consent to becoming war commls
ary. Bather he would Insist upon having an
administrative post giving him an op
Tjortun ty to put Into practice his com
munistic doctrines. It is for this that
Trotskv is 11 revolutionist But domes
tie, reform cannot" be undertaken unin
terruptedly until Russia has a reil
peace. Trotsky, therefore. In all proba
bility, believes further revolutionary war
faro must ensuo against Busslas ex
ternal enemies befoie serious attention
can be roneentrate'd on Russia's internal
reconstruction.
Thus, If tho Pan-Sov let congress votes
111 favor of immediate peace the decision
must not be accepted at Its face value.

land olllce, It Is natural that I 'should

Krarful's Bonibslirll
Assistant Attorney General Kearful
threw a hi.mbshcll Into tho Public Lands
Committee hinting when he answered a'
question h.v Iteptosentutlve Lcnrool. ,
"Vou hive no Idea," said Lenroot,
"lliat the eeretar.v nf the Inferior la I
the eertle nf his dlsrretlon (under the
prepo-ed ill-leiisUi bill) would grunt
l-n-rs wl.rre uttuiil rami was proven,

"Ves, I think he would," Kearful an
swered, Tim committee stand In amazement.
"Vou think h would?" 'Lenroot re-1
prated
"N'ot vi here actual ftaud was proven."
Ke.uful corrected himself, "hut where
rliiirnrs nf frnml hail been made I have
tin ilimlit be would and without Investi
gation." Chairman Ferris eipicssed the sur
prise of the eomm'ttee
"Now to me." he s.ild. "this Is a very
amazing stntement What grounds have ,
vou for such 11 statement ns that'.' It
Is the most amazing statement ever made ,
before this committee since I havo pat I
lu re." 1
Kearful said lie based his statement .
on tho action taken by Seentaty Lane
In the operating ngreunent.s mad.- under
the temporary relief bill In spite nf the
fait that "chaw of fraud and viola
tions of the withdrawal i.riler weie
made by special agents after Investlga
tlous bv tho land nllice nnd hearings
were ordered tn determine tho ttuth of
the ch-ingcH," operating agreements wen
entered with these men by Secretary
Lane, Kearful said. That he believed,
"Justified his statement that under the
House 1)111 tho same thing would be
done."
t.ane explains ('nurse
N'nthliiB to It." wis Secretary Lane's
answer to this charge "In no e-e
has the department euli-red agreements
where (he presrnl 1 I11I1111111I Is rbnrgeil
with fraud." he said "There may be
cases where men have taken nv r In
good faith tracts w hose prcv Inus cla m
i.nts wrm rh.uceil with fraud and they
therefore nie ti clinically gulllv But t
morallv they are not guilty nnd then
Is no reason why operat'ng agreements
should not lie entered with them penn
ing tlnal dicl-lon as to title by the
land office."
'Llnkul with Kiarfuls first charge
w.-ih ntie that the Secretiry of the In
terior had faded properly to protect the
Interests of the Government and had
"violated the law" in Impounding only
onc-elghth of the output of the wells
whose title were In question for tho
protection of the Government In the
event the deo'slon should be adverse to
the claimant
"I understand this law In uilthiirlre
him tn iniilie agreements whleh would
permit cmitlntiiias iiper'atlnli of the prop
erties and enable (he operators to ills
pose of (he iirneerds pending the detei
initiation of thc'tltlo whether It hclongid
to the Government or the applicant,"
Kearful told tho committee. "It Is for
the- protection of both the Government
ant? the nppltcant, so that In the event
it should be decided Mi f.ivoi of i'i ap
plicant he would suffer no less, and In
the event It i-tmuld be decided In favor
of the Governuunt It should not suffer
loss. In onJer to do that there was only
ono rub that could be fallowed, nnd that
rulb Is the one applied by all courts of
equity In cases of tills kind. The entire
output, less Ihe cost of production, should
he Impounded."
Kearful pointed out that In tho Ileitis
where Secretary Iane had operating
agreements th-Te was a total produc
tion to November 30, 1!117. of $f!.l49,807,
of which amount only onc-elghth, or
$870,673. had been Impound' rt for the
protection of the Government The pos.
tlon of the Ilcpartm nt of Jutlco was,
K nrful explained, that It was "Im
pr p r and not within the Intention of
tho act" to make operating agr 1 ments
in cases wheie fraud was clnigcd
"whereby, in the event It should be
finally determlmd that thoso charges of
fraud weio mstalnrd. that the operator
should have seven-eighths of the fruits
of his fraud "
In cases where the Dtpartment of Jus
tice waa not barred from bilnglng suits
by Secretary Line's opeiattng agree
ments, Kearful said, suits were brought
and receivers appointed. Theso re
ceivers Impounded tho whole produc
tlou of the wells, less the operating
co.sts. This, he held, was the proper
method.
"1 have applied hlmply the rule of
commetclal royalties," Secretary Lane
answered. "I have gone on the as
sumption that the lauds belonged to the
Gov. rnine.it and havo regulated tho
royalty accordingly."
Rounding out his general charge
that Secretary Lane Intended to makes
permanent the operating agreements,
even In cases where charges of fraud
weio brought, under the oil-leasing bill.
Kearful sa.d, "It is perfectly clear and
understood in the Interior Department
that those operating agreements shall
contlnuo in anticipation of a general
relief provision which thall, in effect,
permit them to bo made permanent."
