BOLSHEVIK SQUABBLING WHO WILL SUCCEED? Beater's Tslearam. - - - MOSCOW, January 28. I fire death of Lenin has given rise to „ a complex political situation. The Rdthevik chiefs are said to be squab- .* bling behind the scenes, and Trotsky * i 9 said to be in disgrace. Dzerzinski, - who is in charge of Lenin’s funeral arrangements, has come to the fort- - front .as a strong-willed, fanatical - man, feared by the Moderates, who urge that the factions should drop their quarrels and coalesce in order to solve domestic and foreign questions, especially in view of the early recognition of the Soviet by foreign Powers. This tendency favours Trotsky, without whom no reconciliation of the factions would be real and lasting. The military also are likely to side with Trotsky. In the event of a reconciliation, Kalikin, President of the Executive Committee, will probably become President of the Council of Commissaries, but at present Kameneff and Stalin are regarded as likely 6ucces- • sors to. Lenin, if it is decided to re- - place him by one man instead of a triumvirate.
