Trotzky’s
Fate Hangs
in Balance
Central Committee of Com
munist Party Gathers at
Moscow to Discui-s ar
Minister.
Vote of Censure Looms
By A ssne in ted Press.
Moscow, Jan. 17.—The fate of T*oob
Trotzky, soviet minister of war, is ex
p^ pected to lie decided within n few
days by the central committee of the
communist party which began its sit
tings in Moscow today.
There is much speculation as to
whether Trotzky himself, allhough a
member of the central committee, will
h participate In the sessions. Ho is con
sidered by every one as out of active
politics and unless he intends to ap
pear in ilia own defense, or is invited
by his adversaries to do so, his pres
ence at the sittings of the committee
is scarcely expected.
in the face of the bitter and un
precedented campaign against him,
in and out of the communist party
and the communist international, it
is believed it would be futile for him
to attempt to allay the storm which
lias all but engulfed him.
To .Maintain Silence.
Political observers believe that
nothing short of unequivocal retrac
tion of tlie views expressed by the
war minister In his book "Lessons of
the 1917 Revolution." followed by his
promise to abstain in the future from
factional discussions, will satisfy his
oppenents. As Trotzky is hardly
ready st .this moment to adopt either
of these alternatives, it Is thought he
will seek refuge in complete silence,
awaiting the abatement of the pres
ent political ferment to speak his
mind.
There is, however, hot the slightest
doubt that, whether the war minis
ter Is present at (he meetings of
the committee or not a resolution of
censure will be passed against him.
Meanwhile, the milU.avy leader lira
retired to s. rural relate at Archnn
gelskovst. J5 miles f^om Moscow. This
> 'PsTSTK whictq.priorf to the revolution,
* belonged to fMfice Youssopoff, is
noted for its splendid scenery and
salubrious climate. It now serves as
a place of rest for tired members of
the government.
Continues Writing.
In this quiet spot in the midst of
soothing natural surroundings far re
moved from political strife and party
squabbles, Trotzky is now nursing bis
bronchial trouble and at the same
time engaging in fresh literary work.
It is problematical whether he will
go to the Caucustis health resort as
originally planned, even after the
meeting of the rentrat committee
which is expected to decide his future.
It is believed that a formal vote
of censure by the committee, which
flames the Internal anil external poli
cies of the soviet government, will be
a. copied by the war chief’s adversar
ies as sufficient punishment for the
; ilegeil heretical views -expressed by
him In ids recent book and within
the councils of the communist party.

Amendments to the Volstead law
to cover alcohol diversion were sug
gested to a senate committee by J. .T,
Drill, counsel for the prohibition unit.
Today is “Prohibtion Sunday,” commemorating the
fifth anniversary of the adoption of national prohibition.
Opinions differ widely regarding the wisdom of the
prohibition act and the efficacy of its enforcement as shown
by the following quotations:
Mn ,vor J. C. Dahlman: I feel to <
day as I have always felt on this
subject and that is that I am op
posed to laws of this kind. I don't
believe that prohibition has ac
complished anything except to In
crease drinking and crime.
Mrs. ffalleek F. Rose: Statistic,
have proven prohibition a succes
but the very fact that prohibition
came when it did has made its suc
cess a problem. We now have all
the post-war evils coupled with the
prohibition question. We find a
wave of lawbreakers whenever
there Is any distinrt national move
ment. Those who are not law-abid
ing citizens then eotne to the fore.
Charles E. Foster: When we
stop to consider that the human
race lias born accustomed to using
alcoholic drinks for centuries, (he
strides which have been made dur
ing the last five years have been
remarkable.
Mrs. Morton Yiennt, former head
of Douglas county W. C. T. 1T.:
I feel that America Is in better fi
nancial condition than any other
country. Statistics show that. The
prohibition depart miuit of the gov
ernment is more than paying for
Itself. Some will always break the
laws hut 1 feel that conditions are
better.
Tom Dennison: It s an absolute
farce. That’s all.
Mrs. Ida Devin: Prohibition Is
not a success. From ail reports I
get throughout* the city and stale
through Welfare work, I do not
think it a success. People always
want that which is forbidden.
Mrs. F. II. Cole, member of the
council of the National Reform
league: No, I do not think prohibi
tion a success. In the first place.
I thing law enforcement nppolntees
should be under civil service and
this means examinaslon before the
appointment .not afterward. In
some cases In the country ex bar
tenders have been made enforce
ment officers. 7’rohiblllon has not
proven what those who are most
ardent workers had hop“d it to, he.
The families are partially to blitme,
they fail to co-operate.
Thomas R. Murray: We are pass
ing through an era of resentment
against the prohibitory amendment,
but I believe we have passed over
the apex and that enforcement will
grow better and better every day.
Enforcement lias not been what
some believed it would during the
first five years*, but that is no ar
gument against the law. I am for
the law and It will be enforced in
time in a way that will Impress
everybody.
Dr. \Y. F. Callfav The prohibi
tory amendment Is a step in the
right direction. We have a long
way to go before we get what
would he desired. There is consid
erable opposition to the law, hut
much has been accomplished and
more will he done as the years go
by.
.Joseph Dovely: My candid opin
ion Is that the law Is a failure so
far ns enforcement goes, and I be
lieve that the law is being en
forced in Omaha as strictly ns In
any city of the country. Hut they
are making It and selling It.
Harry Hough: Prohibition is all
right In its place—hut where is Its
place?
diaries Trimble; I truthfully
can't say it has been a success. It's
sure been a failure as fnr as ad
ministration is concerned.
t'l.-rtitP («. Powell: I haven't had
the time to even think about pro
hibition. I’m too busy.
Robert P. Mors man: I'm not af
fected on the proposition—one way
or another.

Roy Haynes,
Dry Director,
May Resign
President Coolidpe Said to
Be Dissatisfied With Con
duct of Enforcement
Bureau.
Plan Thorough Shakeup
By International News Service.
Washington, Jan. IT.—Prohibition
Commissioner Roy A. Haynes, who
has been director of enfrfreement ac
tivities since the advent of the Hard
ing administration, jn-obably will re
sign his post before March 4, it was
learned tonight.
This development came on the
heels of yesterday’s announcement
from the White House that President
Coolidge is not satisfied with the
present enforcement situation, and
plans a thorough shake tip of the
bureau.
Commissioner Haynes himself gave
evasive answers tonight in reply to
direct questions ns to whether he In
tended resigning. His friends, how
ever, asserted he would retire? in the
face of what was evidently a desire
on the part of the White House that
he do so.
It Js expected here that the Anti
Saloon league will lodge vigorous pro
tests against Haynes b< ing relieves!
of his duties. Haynes has always
had the confidence of the league's
officers, and lias frequently consulted
Uunn about enforcement difficulties.
President Coolidge Is said to Have
been moved to institute a change in
the bureau because of the disclosures
before the Couzens committee of the
senate that thousands of gallons of
alcohol are regularly finding their
way into illicit channels while big
industries which require Industrial
alcohol in their business have ex
perienced difficulties in getting suf
ficient quantities to operate. The
president understood to consider
that the bureau has spent too much
time on "hip toters" ami casual vio
lators and not enotigh~4n detecting
the *4h!fr time’ in the b'otbggmg
business.
Commissioner Haynes wilt not re
sign, his friends said tonight, until
the Couzens committee completes its
work, for to do so would, it was
said, give an effect of his retirement
"under fire." Such a situation, it
was said, might militate against the
commissioner's political aspirations
which include th© govern' rship ef
Ohio.
