SOVIET CONFUSION
ADMISSION OF WEAKNESS. LONDON, March 5. The Times learns from trustworthy sources in Moscow that Rykoff, the Soviet President, whoso departure for health reasons to the Caucasus was ostentatiously published in Soviet newspapers, actually left for Berlin incognito. The journey mast be recognised as a very characteristic symptom of the present weakness and confusion among members of the Soviet Government.\
The correspondent recalls a recent speech by Bykoff, when he urged upon the Government that it was urgently necessary to invite non-party men who had proved active supporters of Soviet rule during the last six months to fill responsible posts in the Government, which declaration, together with Rykoff’s secret journey, is regarded as a sign that the Soviet appreciates its weakness, and is striving to enlist the active support of prominent Russians living in Germany and elsewhere.
