MAY EXECUTE TROTZKY AOS
Ex-Red Chiefs, A Accused in Plot, May Be Killed Next Week.
By United Press . MOSCOW, Aug. Zinoviev and Leo Kamenev, have been synonymous with uncompromising Bolshevism since long before .the 1917 revolution, may face a Bolshevik firing squad in a
prison courtyard some morning |
next week, it was believed today. They face trial, along with 14 others, next Wednesday, as fomenters of a ferrorist plot against government leaders—a plot al to have been inspired and directed by Leon Trotzky, once co-dictator with Nikolai Lenin, now an exile in Norway. Pravda, official newspaper organ of the Communist party, alleged today that the Gestapo, secret Nazi German police agency, .aided the Zinoview-Kamenev-Trotzky group. “In the bloody Fascist dungeons where they torture the heroes of the German proletariat, they prepare false passports and poisoned arms,” Pravda said. Josef Stalin has called for a final showdown with all adherents of the exiled Trotzky who remain under cover in the Communist Party, it was learned. Stalin has chosen one path—that of forwarding world Communism by setting an example in Russia itself to other nations. Trotzky and his followers hew to the uncompromising line of forwarding it by world revolution. On that disagreement Bolshevists in many countries have split.
HUTCHESON’S CHARGE ANGERS LEWIS GROUP
By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. — The
* American Federation of Labor's bit-
ter craft-industrial union dispute
* headed into the forefront of the
presidential campaign today with Democratic leaders retaliating at a Republican move to take advantage
of the rift.
The statement of William (Big Bill) Hutcheson, Indianapolis, labor division head of the Republican Party, that a vote for President Roosevelt by any of the 2,300,000 craft unionists was a vote for John L. Lewis, and his “rebel” industrial unionists, set off the spark. Labor's Non-Partisan League, of which Mr. Lewis is a member, published a list of nations backing the President for re-election and revealed plans for a huge Labor Day “Re-elect Roosevelt” demonstration in Pittsburgh.

Experiences Depicted
Excerpts from letters to members of his family, published in Ernest Lindley’s “Franklin D. Roosevelt,” depict his experiences. “Again I had to insist,” he wrote, “that I did not want to see any more back areas as planned by Capt. , and the general (Liggett) showed how we could go up to Fere-en-Tardenois, and, thence, if the shelling were not too heavy, a few miles farther. (Later)—-it is indeed quite evident that we are on the battlefield. “To our sensitive naval noses the smell of dead horses is not only evident but very horrid. These Army people do not seem to notice it at all. There are a number of dead Boches in the field. “The casualties, though, were light on both sides at .this point, as the enemy were dashing for the defensive line of the Vesle at top speed. We got back to Gen. Degoutte’s headquarters just before 9, and after washing off layers of dust, found him and his staff at an excellent dinner, Captain Annoyed “Most of my staff have begun to realize what campaigning, or rather
sightseeing, with the assistant sec-
retary means, and Capt. ————— is still visibly annoyed because I upset his comfortable plans for an inspection of regions fought over a month ago.” A few days later, along the Verdun front, the assistant secretary was under fire again. He had some hair-raising experiences on the destroyer as it cruised about European waters. Once a shell fired from a gun on the destroyer, handled hy a green youngster and not properly trained, passed a few feet from him. Another time he was nearly washed overboard in a heavy sea. On one occasion the destroyer was in the area of a roving German submarine. Once, at 4 a. m., an “alert” sig-
nal called the assistant secretary
from his cabin to the bridge. “This is the second time I have

sprinted for the bridge in pajamas and bare feet,” he wrote. “I realized my costume today and apologized to Poteet before descending, but he said it made an excellent distinctive uniform for flag officers as long as the Secretary of the Navy does not try to change it to old-fashioned nightgown and carpet slippers.” The assistant secretary conferred with numerous officials and military commanders in France, England and Italy about strategical problems, and once practically caust an international incident. is was when, after outlining to French newspaper men the anti-submarine work of the American Navy, he asked if there were any questions. The newspaper men were stunned. They were amazed when Mr. Roosevelt told them that American Cabinet officers had two press conferences a day. The next day he called upon Clemenceau. “Clemenceau,” he wrote, “got up from his desk and came at. me crouched over, both hands extended, his frien clawing the air like a tiger's. He accused me of nearly causing the downfall of the French Cabinet and the loss of the war. The press, it seemed, had demanded interviews twice daily with every Cabinet member, including Clemenceau himself.”
F.D.R. Betrays Concern Over World Conditions
By United Press CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y., Aug. 15.— Through: the foreign offices and the chancellories of the world, there rang today President Roosevelt's forceful preaching against war and his pledge to isolate this country from all war dangers. In a major pronouncement “of
American policy, the President told
a crowd of several thousand last
‘night that “he had been: bitterly
disillusioned in the hope that the whole world could be led into the ways of peace. He betrayed his grave concern with ' world conditions. - “A goodly portion” of his every 24 hours, he said, was devoted to a study of foreign relations. He did not refer specifically to any country or to any situation, but his listeners did not doubt that some of his fears
. were based upon the Spanish civil
war, the Italo-Ethiopian war, and the Japanese conquest of Manchuria. Believe in Democracy
“We belfeve in democracy,” he cried out at the end, repeating what he had said before. “We believe in freedom and we believe in peace, and so we offer to every nation of the world the handclasp of the good neighbor. Let those who wish our friendship look us in the eye and take our hand.” Some observers saw significance in four words appended to Mr. Roosevelt’s pledge that this country was ready to defend itself. These four words suggested the steel hand beneath the velvet glove of friendship. The words were a pledge to defend not the United States alone, but to “defend our neighborhood.” Four Neutrality Points Mr. Roosevelt made four specific points in a program to maintain American ‘neutrality and peace in a world of war and threatening war. These points were: 1. Insistence that American business, industry, and agriculture. forswear profits from foreign conflicts. 2. Cultivation of an active and vigorous ‘public opinion in favor of
peace. 3. Greatest official caution to avoid any step or action which might lead toward embroilment of the United States in war. 4, Extension and development of the “good. neighbor policy” in the |" Western He seeking to weld North and Sotth America into
