RUSSIA’S MAIN ROPE.
AGREEMENT WITH AMERICA.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. NEW YORK, May 31.
The Moscow correspondent of the New York Herald ” interviewed M. Trotsky, who said : “ We had_.imagined that the Genoa Conference was primarily a business meeting to discuss business matters in a. business way. We were wrong. Business matters could hardly be seen through the political fog, but a way out has offered itself. Political and military questions are apparently to be separated from business questions, and an attempt made to solve them separately. I think that the Genoa Conference attained this much, that European statesmen realise that the Soviet Republic [has come to stay. It is now an established fact, and you cannot destroy it by ignoring it. Our main hope is founded on an understanding with the United States. I have reason to believe that President Harding takes a modified view, unlike that of the Wilson Administration. Moreover, we have interests in common. The expansion of Japan, despite the Washington Treaty, is not a thing of the past. We believe, therefore, that upon political as well as economic grounds we are able to find a basis for discussion and agreement with the United States.”
