REVOLUTIONARY SINCE SCHOOL DAYS.
IN PRISON FOR SEVEN YEARS.
A CLEVER ECONOMIST
fnu Aaaociation —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 3.
(Received Feb. 3, at midnight.) The Observer’s Moscow correspondent says that M. Rykoff will succeed M. Lenin as President of the Council of Commissar's ; M. Kameneff will become President of the Council of Labour and Defence; and M. Dzerzhinsky President of the Economic Council, succeeding M. Rykoff. The Sunday Express, in confirming this, says; M. Rykoff was bom in 1881 of Saratov peasants parents, and has been revolutionary from Iris school days. He spent seven and a-half years in prison, and was more than once deported. Personally, he is a somewhat sickly man. He is an assiduous playgoer, dresses shabbily, prefers walking to motoring, and is a clever economist. —A. and N."£. Cable.
