SUPREMACY IN MOSCOW.
FIGHT BETWEEN LEADERS.
STALIN OPPOSES TROTZKY
'Received August 12. 5.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON. Aug. 11
The most reliable interpretation of recent events in Moscow has probably been transmitted by the correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt.
The correspondent says the fight for Lenin's crown will continue for the present inside the Communist party, but it will be fought on much more equal terms.
The side led by Trotzkv has been heartened by recent reinforcements, and that of Stalin lias been correspondingly weakened.
Trotzky is undoubtedly the abler man of the two, but Stalin, who is more moderate, will make a stronger appeal to the masses when the time comes, as undoubtedly it will, for the conflict to be carried on outside the party.
