By the Aseociated Press. MOSCOW, May 21.—All members of the council of peoples’ commissars, or the Soviet cabinet, of which Alexis I. Rykoff is president, were re-elected today by the central executive com mittee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Kepublics. General prise was caused by the failure of Leon Trotsky, former min ister of war, who recently returned from political seclusion to secure a cabinet post. It is belleved there- fore that Trotsky's political fate still hangs in the balance. It is understood that Trotsky had been promised a place in the cabinet and, up until the moment when the announcement of an unchanged coun- cil personnel was made, Trotsky’s former associates in the government and Communists generally had be- lieved he would be made commissar of foreign trade. This post has been va- cant since the appointment of its former occupant, M. Krassin, as So. viet Ambassador to France. Obstacles Arose. at the eleventh hour serious to Trotsky’s appointment ~ouncil and it is under- nent was made that Trotsky’s appointment and a regroup. ing of government heads at this junc ture in the international sit. tion would be inopportune. It is asserted that Communist leaders felt a rearrangement of the cabinet now would be interpreted abroad as a symptom of weakness of the Bolshevik government The belief here is that Trotsky now will have to work his way office and into the good graces of the ruling powers by slow degrees and by accepting any post which the gov ernment may offer him. The central ,executive committee was named by the congress which closed its sessions here today. The committee compri two chambers, a union council and a council of na tionalities.
